Must do, Tour! - My husband and I went on this tour and loved it! We learned so much about Santa Barbara and ate some of the best tacos we ever had. Our Tour Guide was funny and informative. We loved the margarita, beer and wines.! We were stuffed at the end of this event. Loved the gift bag at the end, coupons to 16 different businesses in town that never expired. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

Plenty to eat on State St. - Weekend tour may be better than weekday. Tour guide Matt was very nice and personable. Not too much walking. For the price there could be more libations offered.

Wonderful taco experience - I wanted to share our appreciation for the fantastic taco tour we recently experienced. Alex was incredibly informative, and we really enjoyed learning about the local culture and history. Walking to each taco place added a special touch to the experience — it felt immersive and allowed us to see more of the area. We had a great time, and I just wanted to extend our thanks for such a memorable experience. Please pass along our gratitude to Alex!

Boring - First, our tour guide was 20 minutes late, all though, a very nice kid . My wife and I were the only two in the tour and received maybe $50 worth of food at best. The five Taco Restaurant were the worst grouping of taco establishments my wife and I have ever had. We would not recommend this to anyone. Again, the tour guide was super nice, but the overall trip was horrible. We still can't believe we paid $300 for this tour.
