Recommended: Inside history of Gaslamp -- Powered by Food Delights - Knowledgeable and engaging tour guide. I lived in San Diego for 20 years and didn't know much of the history of this region that was revealed on the tour. Got a lot of photos of Victorian era buildings. It didn't hurt that was a typically perfect weather day in America's Finest. The food was good, and interesting, with the portions allocated so that you didn't fill up on the first stop. Several of the food selections were very original. Each of the chosen restaurants was ready for us and prepared -- since the group had to descend on the restaurants en masse, demanding space and service quickly. Overall, enjoyable and recommended, especially with Kelly Ford as tour guide.

Highly Recommend - We had a great time on our tour. Ben was a friendly, funny, and knowledgeable tour guide, and he kept everyone involved and having fun. Our group was 5 people, plus the guide, which we thought was perfect as everyone had a chance to talk to each other. The stops on the tour were unique and prepared for us. Food and drinks were good all around, I did not leave hungry. Also enjoyed learning some history about the area, both the broad strokes and various fun facts along the way. I would definitely come back for one of their other tours here.

San Diego Food Tour - Benedict was an excellent guide! Our plane was delayed by over and hour and we were about 45 min late showing up. However, he was very understanding and communicative over the phone. We met with our group at the first stop and he was sure to bring us up to speed on what we missed. Great tour, good people and fantastic food!

Great - Ben telling the history is quite educational and somewhat entertaining. We had a big group from many places and had a chance to chat while having food and drinks.

Not able to take the tour - My reservation was canceled as i was the only person. Minimum of 4 people to do the tour. I was disappointed, but fully refunded. It was too late to find something else, even though they offered an alternate tour, which was the same time as another tour i had already paid for.
