My friend and I made an impromptu plan to visit Carlsbad and take the Food and Walking Tour, hosted by Cheri. I wasn't sure what to expect, but after our first stop tasting a delicious meatball that was so large it fed four people, I was hooked. The combination of stops to sample delicious fare at family-run restaurants, with the intermingling of Cheri's insight into Carlsbad's history, was the perfect balance as it provided opportunity to get a little walking in between stops and enjoy the outdoor charms of the downtown area. I enjoyed the food so much, I wanted to come back the next day to do the tour again. Cheri is a great ambassador for small businesses in Carlsbad. Try the tour you'll be glad you did!
