This tour was so great. We had Manual and he gave us a fantastic background of the local history. We even got to go over to the courthouse and walk around inside. All of the food we had was delicious. I’m adding some pictures below of the fish taco and macarons. The pasta was so good we went back again for dinner. We highly recommended this tour, this company and Manuel!

This was definitely worth the money! Our entire group enjoyed this experience. It was a short walking tour with lots of food! We had amazing macarons, delicious fresh pasta, fried fish tacos, way too much ice cream and empanadas. We got stuffed after the pasta, so we wish we had paced ourselves better. Sandy was an amazing tour guide! Only downfall was it was oftentimes hard to hear her as we were walking, but it got better as the tour went on. Would recommend to anyone looking to see Santa Barbara and eating amazing food at little places along the way.

Very fun food tour that ended up being a private excursion with Manuel. While it was definitely a food tour Manuel made it so much more. We learned more about Santa Barbara and our conversation crossed over into travel in general. Nice pace. Easy walking. Good food and wine. Will return to some of the establishments that we were introduced to.
