Carlsbad’s top food tour! - What an amazing experience with our tour guide Sue! This tour was over the top! Sue’s knowledge and enthusiasm at each restaurant added to the joy of the day. We learned so much about Carlsbad and the many hidden gems as well as the food. This was beyond a “food” tour. Thank you!! Sue went above and beyond to meet the dietary restrictions of the day. Restaurant choices were spectacular and varied! Wow. Her communication was prompt and her pacing was spot on. We never felt, nor was there a lag in time. With guides like Sue, this tour is going to soar! It was such an enjoyable day! Thank you !

Fantastic Food Tour With A Wonderful Guide - Highly recommend the Carlsbad food tour with Sue! She was an amazing guide; friendly, personable, fun, and knowledgeable. The stops at the restaurants along the tour were all fantastic, with delicious food. We really loved the variety. Sue did a wonderful job, keeping us on schedule, teaching us about the history of Carlsbad, and giving us information about each restaurant. She even brought rose petals to put on the table! I cannot wait to tell all of my friends and family to sign up for this tour, and to be sure to request Sue. Five stars all the way!

Carlsbad walking food tour with our amazing guide Sue - What a wonderful afternoon spent touring the quaint and adorable town of Carlsbad✨ Our fantastic guide Sue gave us a wonderful education on the history of Carlsbad, shared amazing tastes from savory to sweet. Took pictures of us in front of long-standing landmarks and artwork created by local artists. Such a fun way to learn about this clean coastal city. Be sure to ask for Sue she is exceptional.❤️🤩 Sincerely Debbie from Texas

Well worth doing. - Ben was a personable and prepared guide. We appreciated how he pointed out various art and history around Carlsbad, and particularly about the restaurants and food we were eating. We would definitely take a tour with him again.

This tour is mostly a food tour . If you are a foodie this is the tour for you. There is only one wine tasting! - It would have been a 5 if it included more wine tastings. There was only one so we were disappointed. I would explain that in the copy or include more wine tastings for this excursion. Ben was great and keep us on time so that we could reach each destination. It was a bit militaristic at times but that didn’t take away from his presentation. I would recommend this tour because the food choices were great and learning the history of Carlsbad was very interesting.
