Exceptional

Sharonda_R, Nov 2025

Wonderful! Ben is awesome! Learned a lot! He was very patient and thorough. He made sure we were able to see and explore a lot of new things! Loved seeing the seals and sea lions!

Yummy food

Marisol_B, Nov 2024

We loved the food choices and the tour guide. We enjoyed the fact that we stopped at an art gallery. She gave fun facts about La Jolla

Response from Host, Nov 2024

We're so fun you had a great time with us! Thank you for the great review!

Good food. Great guide!

Roxanne_L, Jul 2024

Experienced restaurants that we hadn't visited, yet. Enjoyed learning some local history, as well. Magda was a very knowledgeable guide.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you for joining us!! We're glad you enjoyed your time with Magda!

Great way to spend time in La Jolla

Natalie_P, May 2024

Great food and drink experience. The first restaurant food was ok, but the rest of the tour restaurant choices were excellent. Our guide was great but I would have liked even more information about the restaurants- the history, why it was chosen, etc. more info about La Jolla would have been great too. All in all, a wonderful way to experience La Jolla- I would recommend this tour.

Response from Host, May 2024

Thank you so much for the great feedback. We will check in with our guide to make sure they are sticking to the script. We're happy you had a great time!

Too much food in a short time

Janine_R, May 2024

Too much food in a short time. It wasn’t even enjoyable after the first restaurant. Food was good, but way too much after the first restaurant.

Response from Host, May 2024

Thank you so much for the feedback. We will be reviewing the items we serve at the first restaurant. The plate is quite large, I'd agree, and I can see how it could change the way you taste the rest of the food. Noted!

Great experience & good value

Great to have a knowledgeable, friendly and humorous local for a well-planned tour and tastings

Judy_C, Feb 2024

The choice of foodie stops was excellent -- we've visited La Jolla many times and hadn't known about the special places and cuisine that we experienced. Todd was also a great host who customized the tour route to suit us on the fly, had numerous local insights and anecdotes to liven up the stroll and was really good company with his personal stories at each stop. He really made this a very memorable experience and we fully recommend it to newcomers and frequent visitors alike.
