B.L.T. (Breakfast, Lunch and Treat) | food tasting experience
Travel is about immersing yourself in the local culture. One way to do that is through food. Feeling overwhelmed with the more than 450 restaurant choices available in Santa Barbara?
Our food tasting tour has got you covered! Get treated to front-of-the-line service while learning about the history of each tasting venue without walking away feeling stuffed. You will also learn how to successfully navigate the Santa Barbara foodie scene like a seasoned local.
Your tour will be led by a gifted storyteller who is passionate about living "La Dolce Vita." What makes us different is that you won't be part of a large crowd following a guide with a flag. We keep our group small and intimate to allow more personal interaction.
Enjoy the "skip the line" benefit of a private table, in establishments where reservations are not accepted or extremely long lines.
