Had a nice time :) - We had a great time with Alex. We got to try different types of tacos and also explored parts of Santa Barbara. It also was fantastic that we got to walk and get a little exercise in between stops. Alex has a lot of knowledge about the history of Santa Barbara. Thanks Alex :)

Never pass up a good taco - YUM! This surpassed our expectations. Sara made this tour SO fun. The tacos were all delicious. Don’t wanna give anything away but the pork banh mi taco was amazing! The flavor & textures were out of this world. The fish taco was pretty perfect too and I would have never imagined a veggie taco could be so good! Highly recommend this tour. Great value, tons of fun.

Great food, drinks, and fun! - We love doing food tours any time we’re visiting a place for the first time, and this one did not disappoint! Lots of great tacos and plenty of drinks to accompany. Our guide Sam was amazing, not only telling us about local places but giving us suggestions about what to do with the rest of our time here. Definitely recommend!

Great tacos and Santa Barbara history - Sam was an excellent guide for our taco tour today. My wife and I got to experience excellent tacos in Santa Barbara. Living on the east coast we cannot enjoy tacos like this :-). Sam was knowledgeable about the city, and VERY funny and entertaining. We had a lot of fun!!
