Maria was exceptional host who shared her love of food and culture of San Diego’s Embarcadero/Seaport District. We especially enjoyed opportunity to ferry to Coronado Island to enjoy Greek dinner at local’s favorite restaurant. Ended evening in Seaport district with street tacos, followed by decadent sweet treat. Very nice evening. Thanks Maria.

Moderate amount of walking, but comfortable. A good variety of local culinary favorites. Also, socializing with others on the tour is as good as the food and the host knows how to make that happen. You will leave happy!

Maria was an excellent tour guide and host. We had a wonderful time and great eats at the places on the tour. Maria made sure we all got our food in a timely manner, and was helpful with the few accommodations. She took great photos and supplied a highlight video with pictures from the tour. She was kind and available for whatever was needed. She even held my ice cream so I could get on the carousel. Maria truly made our experience great and memorable

When I first saw this...

Lisa_W, Aug 2025

When I first saw this tour , I knew it was the one I wanted. A walking, food tour including a round trip ferry to Coronado?! Awesome!!! Our guide, Maria, was nothing short of fantastic, personable & always going above & beyond😉 She’s the poster child for Customer Service🙌. Maria has this tour finely tuned through various districts w/ mouth watering food to enjoy, an encyclopedic history of San Diego & chronicling each step for your video🥳! She was as enthusiastic to show us the sights as we were to see them🤩. And I must say the timing was fabulous for not only enjoying yummy dishes to actual digestion, taking of pictures, fawning over fuzzy bottoms &/or baby ducks, the short, but beautiful ferry to Coronado to the sheer delight of riding the carousel…. I’d do it all over again in a minute; THIS TOUR IS A MUST w/ Maria at the helm🙌👍❤️!!! I am so psyched to do it again! 🤩

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Wow! Thank you so very much for this incredible review and your business! We are so thrilled you had such a wonderful time! We would absolutely love to have you again. Thank you so very much!!

A Deliciously Personal and Memorable Tour! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Robert_B, May 2025

This food tour was such a delightful experience! It ended up being just my fiancé and me on the tour, and instead of scaling things back, our guide Maria went above and beyond to make it feel special and personal. She was incredibly warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about both the food and the area. We loved how the tour mixed tasty local favorites with the charm of Seaport Village. Each stop had its own character, and Maria added so much with her insights and stories, it really felt like we were exploring the neighborhood with a knowledgeable friend. Even though it was a smaller tour, it never felt lacking; in fact, it made the experience feel more intimate and customized. Whether you're visiting San Diego or just want to enjoy an afternoon of great food and company, this tour is a must. Maria made it truly memorable, and we’re so glad we did it!

Response from Host, May 2025

Oh wow! Thank you so so much for these kind words and your business! I am so grateful to you both! I am thrilled to read that you had a wonderful experience! Thank you again!

Must do tour!

Estelle_B, Mar 2025

Maria is a ray of sunshine. From the initial greeting, her energy during the tour, and the way she caters to the group. We were very lucky our family of four had her to ourselves but I’m highly confident she would’ve had the same level of service for a group of 12. We’re locals but Maria still taught us many facts about the area, the eateries we visited, and even future sites to look forward to. We enjoyed a weekend staycation and played tourists with other experiences. When asked, my teenage son said this tour was his favorite part. Maria also took lots of pictures of our family which was nice because typically I take all the pictures and not in them. This tour was a great way to see Seaport Village, learn new things, eat great food, and gather tips for more yummy places to eat when you visit San Diego. Thanks Maria! You're the best! :)

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thank you so very very much for your incredibly kind words, your business and taking the time to write a review! I am so glad that you and your family enjoyed the tour and food! Thank you again!!

There is a bit of walking...

Wendy_M, Mar 2025

There is a bit of walking involved so if you're not up to that just be aware. The places were all fun and unique and the food was very good. Maria was a lot of fun and was very enjoyable to be with. The only problem we had a bit was that we couldn't always pick up what she was saying with so much going on around us but maybe that's just our "old" ears. :)

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the unique places and delicious food on our walking tour. It was a pleasure to have you all join us, and we're so glad you found Maria to be enjoyable—she truly loves sharing her passion for food and fun! We appreciate your feedback about the sound levels and will certainly keep that in mind for future tours. We want everyone to have the best experience possible, and we’re always looking for ways to improve. Thank you for choosing our tour and for your kind words. We hope to see you again on another adventure!

Food, History, Fun Facts, and a Carousel Ride

Jeff_H, Sep 2024

Maria was absolutely phenomenal as our guide for this three hour food tour of Seaport Village and including a quick jaunt over to Coronado via ferry. The ferry ride was a new addition and provided some great panoramic views and picture opps of the entire downtown area. The food choices were all perfect and honestly, more than we could eat. So do not expect to end this tour hungry! Highly recommend this food tour and this locally-owned company.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Thank you so very very much for your incredibly kind words and taking the time to write such a wonderful review! We really appreciate you and your support! Thank you again!!
