Nice, leisurely walk through Carlsbad - Great walking tour learning the history of Carlsbad and wonderful eating stops. Ben was very informative, helpful and friendly. Would recommend for others.

Wonderful - thanks Ed!! - We had the best time on our Carlsbad food tour! Ed (Dirt) was our guide, and he was awesome. If you take this tour, you MUST start out hungry, because there is so much food! At Cicciotti's alone we had a full meal of pasta, bread and homemade Lemoncello - all wonderful. We also went to Village Kabob, Froglander's Crepes, Senor Grubby's, The Choice, and Witchcraft Brewery. Ed gave us great information about Carlsbad - what a beautiful place! We were staying in Oceanside, but came to love Carlsbad after this tour and returned there another day of our trip. We do a food tour in every city we visit, and this was one of our favorites. Very much worth the cost of the tour. Thank you for a great time Ed, we now consider you a friend! (Thank you also for the donuts and introducing us to Carlsbad Cookies. YUM!!)

Great Food & wine tour - Our guide, Ben was fantastic. Everything was very well organized and the food and wine were great. Learned the history of Carlsbad and loved the story about the Alkaline water and how special that is for Carlsbad. It was hot out but it wasn't too much walking since we had many stops.

Great Carlsbad Experience - Great tour guide. Very personable knowledgeable and accomodating. Food was very good. In addition to the food and wine we learned a great deal about the city.

Our first vacation adventure - Loved listening to the guide talk us about the sites and restaurants we visited. He was animated, fun and intelligent. This was a great start to our girls weekend in SoCal ❤️😎🤩

Great food tour experience! - Ben, our tour leader, was outstanding! The 6 restaurants were a great variety—the Italian one was out of this world!

Great tour - We had a great tour and highly recommend Carlsbad Food Tours! We definitely want to take the Encinitas one next! Thanks for yummy food and a great time.

A Flavorful Journey Through Carlsbad with Ed - A Food Tour Like No Other: - From the moment we met Ed, known in his stunt performer circles as "Dirt," we knew we were in for an extraordinary experience. This wasn't just any food tour; it was a journey enriched with vibrant stories, thrilling personal anecdotes, and, of course, incredible food. Ed has this unique ability to engage and captivate, making everyone feel like an old friend reminiscing about adventures. The culinary delights were just as engaging as Ed's stories. Each bite, from the succulent carnitas tacos dripping with pineapple juices to the exquisite avocado toast that has become my husband's new obsession, was a testament to the fresh, quality ingredients sourced mainly from family-owned establishments. It was clear that each restaurant we visited was chosen with care, adding to the authenticity and charm of the tour. Ed's tales of motorcycle stunts and his bond with his beautiful horse added an unexpected, thrilling layer to the experience, reminding us of the importance of living a full and adventurous life. As we wandered through Carlsbad, learning about the city's rich architecture and history, it felt like we were walking through a storybook illustrated with culinary delights. The tour's atmosphere was unbeatable, blending the warmth of family environments with the lively fun of music and laughter. The Mediterranean flavors, especially the tahini and hummus, were unlike any other, and we couldn't help but rationalize all the walking as a free pass to indulge to our hearts’ content—wishful thinking! In summary, Ed's food tour in Carlsbad is more than just a tasting experience; it's a deep dive into the heart and soul of the city, its people, and their stories. It’s a five-star recommendation from us for anyone looking to taste not just the best of Carlsbad's cuisine but to feel a part of its vibrant, storied community. We left with full bellies, warmer hearts, and the profound lesson of ensuring a life well-lived, thanks to our remarkable guide, Ed. This tour is a must-do for foodies and story lovers alike!

Amazing experience, would highly recommend to anyone visiting the San Diego area! - Ben was AMAZING! He is so insightful and you can tell he is really passionate about Carlsbad. It was so fun to learn about Carlsbad while also having delicious food and wine. I would highly recommend you try it out if you’re in the San Diego area!

A relaxing way to spend the afternoon - It could have been shorter . Guide ok but could have talked more at each stop. Food was good . Variety was good . Donuts and strawberry short cake were the best
