Great trip, staff were excellent! I went with my 15 year old son and we spotted a humpback whale, along with dolphins and seals! Don’t hesitate - book!
Reviews: Carlsbad Food Tour and Wine Tasting
Guest User2026-01-21
An Unforgettable Taste of Carlsbad – Highly Recommend! My wife and I, Damon & Debra, had an incredible experience with Carlsbad Food Tours, and it truly exceeded our expectations. From start to finish, the tour was thoughtfully curated and showcased some of Carlsbad’s most unique and memorable eateries. Each stop highlighted high-quality ingredients, exceptional craftsmanship, and a genuine passion for culinary excellence. It was clear that great care was taken in selecting the restaurants and local partners featured on the tour. What truly made the experience stand out was our guide, David. He went above and beyond—knowledgeable, personable, and incredibly engaging. David brought the history, culture, and creative spirit of this Southern California beach community to life, making the tour both informative and enjoyable. His enthusiasm and attention to detail made us feel welcomed and well taken care of throughout the entire experience. This was more than just a food tour—it was a cultural and culinary journey that gave us a deeper appreciation for Carlsbad. If you’re looking to explore the real Carlsbad in a fun, relaxed, and meaningful way, this experience is a must. We highly recommend it and would gladly do it again. — Damon & Debra
Reviews: San Diego: Old Town Tales, Tacos, and Tequila Walking Tour

A fantastic tour of Old Town San Diego. Jennifer was incredibly knowledgeable. She gave several opportunities to stop and shop or linger over exhibits. If you’ve taken food tours in other cities, this one is different. You try two types of plain tortillas to start and then have tacos with a drink at the end of the tour. Our tour did run long(not the guides fault, the restaurant was packed).

We did this tour on our 2nd night. So glad we did. Learned lots of fun facts, saw cool places, met fun new friends and enjoyed 3 bites with drinks plus dessert. Loved the places picked - Meze Greek fusion (delicious brandy sangria & quesadilla with gyro meat) Smokin Js BBQ (yummy pork belly taco with their hot sauce & lager. Also bought a tasty IPA Phantom Bride) & The Field (yummy shepherds pie & drink that I can’t remember name of but it was good) We also bought Irish coffees, best we’ve ever had. Ended at Calis for icecream (lavender was our choice & it was good) & bought delicious gingerbread man and sugar cookie. Would definitely do this tour again. Only wish is for bigger food servings to go with all the drinks!
