Great tour - This was an amazing tour. Our tour guide was knowledgeable of all the dishes we tried. He shared about the history of Carlsbad and showed us different murals around the village. The tour is well-organized as we started off with small dishes before getting to entree portions then finishing off with dessert.

Just right - First of all, Ben was awesome-he set the perfect pace and offered a balanced tour of good food, interesting tips and information/history along with time to eat and take in the town ourselves. My friend that I took on the tour has thanked me for the visit multiple times, always including this as the highlight of her visit. Thanks Ben!

The Six Stop Food tour is a wonderful use of your time - Amazing food. At our first stop, I had a mojito donut that tasted like an out-of-this-world key lime donut. We saw public art we would never have seen without a guide and learned the fascinating history of Carlsbad.

Awesome family outing. - It was an awesome tour. Dave was our tour guide and he was so knowledgeable about Carlsbad that kept us entertained and moving from one restaurant to another. The three hours went by so fast. The food was great and very filling. We took our 10 year old grandson and he really enjoyed himself tasting the different foods.
