Discovering Santa Barbara

I did not know much about Santa Barbara so when I saw this walking food tour I thought it would be a great way to discover the city. We met outside the Arlington Theater which was a gorgeous old Spanish style building with an interesting history. Jena was our tour guide. She could not have been more friendly and informative. Her knowledge of the local food scene was great but she was also well versed in the unique history of the area. Every bite from the sweet to the savory was special. As we walked along Santa Barbara came to life. The stop at the historic town hall with the views of the city from the tower was impressive. Eating our way through the streets which also included a wine tasting. I was quite full by the end of our walk but still had room for the incredible chocolates. I did take her suggestion and brought an almond croissant back to my hotel for breakfast the next day... delightful! All in all a lovely way to spend a few hours in a beautiful city.

Always a pleasure!

This was our third Food Tasting Tour (previously done Ventura and Ojai) and we were not disappointed! Wonderful little out of the way spots one may never actually see or know about, along with TONS of historical information about Santa Barbara. Bob was a wonderful tour guide, and all of the stops were wonderful places to experience!

Great, local food and history!

We were in Santa Barbara for our wedding anniversary, and did this food tour with Nina as our guide. We are pretty big foodies so pretty finicky, and this tour DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Amazing sweets and savory options and Nina brought her great personality, trivia and incredible knowledge of the architectural history of this beautiful city. Run don't walk to this tour!!!
