Our group of 8 had a really fun time on our tour. Alex was a good tour guide, sharing interesting tidbits about Santa Barbara. (His apprentice, Ron, will make a fine tour guide as well.) I didn't give this 5 stars because we found 2 of the 5 tacos pretty underwhelming, and because the price is pretty overwhelming. At $140 per adult (included 2 alcoholic drinks) plus tip, that's a a hefty cost. The tour did run longer than scheduled, and Alex was very gracious about that.

Hi thank you for this feedback. We change the selections frequently to get the best curated experience for our guests. All of the tacos are from family owned resturants and they can vary each day, most days they are excellent. The Sangria, Margarita and teaser beer (that is a gift to our guests) equals 3 drinks...At the last stop on the tour this establishment has given you a "free drink coupon" valued at $12. Besides that gift TTSB gives you 15 other coupons values at $200+. No other tour has worked to collaborate with local bars, cafes and shops to give the guests such a nice "goody bag". We hope you shop local and use these gifts ! Thank you for taking the tour!

Alex was great! He incorporated the area’s history in the food experience and made sure everyone was taken care of. He even indulged me in a selfie at my favorite of the 5 places we stopped in.

We loved this tour. We drank wine from California beer from local breweries even stopped at a gin distillery. The food was amazing. We had sushi tacos and cauliflower pizza we were stuffed! Great Tour would do it again.
