Our tour guide Nancy was THE BEST! We had such a great time on the Taco and Drink Tour and it included visiting some of the historic sites in Santa Barbara. The food selection was delicious (COME HUNGRY TO THIS TOUR) and Nancy was so much fun and so gracious. We had my elderly mother with us so Nancy made sure to pace things out slowly and take breaks throughout the tour. 100% recommend but be warned to wear comfortable shoes and come hungry.

Such a well-planned and thoughtful tour! They started us at a wonderful winery with a wine tasting and a delicious charcuterie. The street tacos were next and it was really a taste of Mexico. Delicious! The third place was an Asian fusion and we tried some great dishes in a really unique setting. We finished at an Italian restaurant that had the best ravioli ever. Throughout, Nancy and Karen were great guides sharing insights into the different parts of downtown as we walked from place to place. They were patient with our pace and we never felt rushed - they felt like part of our tour group. They were smart and informative. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys eating and drinking sprinkled with a little bit of learning. Thank you Nancy and Karen! ❤️. Courtney and Jolie

Nancy was a wonderful guide. She knew the city well and proudly showed us many hidden treasures. Santa Barbara is a beautiful city and offers many culinary options. We had Turkish, Tacos, Asian-Carribean infusion, and Old World Italian. Nancy also took into account the fact that my husband had a recent knee replacement and had some mobility issues. Thank you Nancy.

We absolutely loved our food, drink & history private tour with Santa Barbara Food Tours. We had a corporate outing with folks that had never been to SB, and it was a great way to see the city and learn more about it. Evan was easy to work with in setting up the tour, and Nancy did a great job as our tour guide! Thank you for a memorable team-building experience!
