Do the food tour with Janet! - Great fun walking around the island to the restaurants the locals favor with Janet who was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Catalina. I appreciated that she asked in advance about food allergies/preferences. The food/drinks were great and she was fun to talk to!

Not to be missed experience - Janet was very engaging with many anecdotes and historical information. The food was amazing as were the beverages. I expected small servings but everything was pretty much full size. One sisters fav was the shrimp, (at Charlie’s?). Other sister loved the cactus pear margarita at Topsides. The cookie at the end was really good. Sadly, there wasn’t time on our trip to return to any of these awesome places for dinner. Would gladly repeat this. Janet went the extra mile and delivered a birthday Jell-O shot to my sister.

10/10 - Carol was GREAT! She shared lots of island history during our tour. The bites were delish. I could have done without the blue margarita, but that was no biggie. 10/10 would recommend!
