    ivy_C, May 2026
    We had a great time enjoyed each stop food was tasty and the guide was super helpful. My fav was the tri-tip sandwich my mom's was the lobster roll you can't go wrong either way both are delicious.

    We loved reading this. Knowing the experience felt comfortable and easy to enjoy from beginning to end is exactly the kind of thing we hope for. We’d love to have you back with Secret Food Tours!

    Good food, new guide

    Katherine_M, Apr 2026
    Food stops were awesome, but may be guide dependent. We had a new guide, and didn't seem to know much about the history, area, or the importance of the restaurants we visited.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts following your time with us in the city, Katherine. It is great to hear that the food stops stood out, as a lot of care goes into selecting partners that reflect the local flavor and character of the area. Regarding the guiding experience, your comments are well noted. Our team continues to support each guide as they grow into the role, especially when it comes to weaving together the history, culture, and the stories behind each stop. Many of our guests often highlight how these elements bring the tour to life, so your feedback is valuable in helping us refine that balance further. Santa Barbara has a rich culinary and cultural background, and we are always working to ensure that comes through more clearly during the experience. Your perspective helps us continue improving in that direction. We would love the chance to host you again and provide a more engaging experience next time.

    Delicious Food.

    Delicious food choices. Thomas was a great guide. Lots of walking, but we enjoyed seeing Santa Barbara on foot.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Your kind review truly made our day. It’s always rewarding when guests enjoy discovering new dishes while hearing the stories behind them from our guides. We’d love to host you again on another Secret Food Tours!
