We have been on several food tours and this was one of the best. Bleu the tour guide was excellent and knowledgeable. Food and drinks were very good and quite adequate portions

The tour included a few different food and cocktail samples. It was very accommodating for people with food allergies/preferences. Magda was a great tour guide and shared much about the history of the neighborhood.

More history would have been nice. This is all I want to say. I don't want to say anything more. Again, nothing further to say.

We went on this tour on an incredibly busy night because of the Billy Joel/Sting concert. The first restaurant we visited had trouble finding a space for us. Aparna handled this wonderfully, and we were eventually seated. The food was great. The rest of the tour went smoothly. The food and drinks were delicious (especially the ice cream!), and Aparna's stories about how San Diego got started were entertaining.
