Always Love a Good Food Tour!!! - I always love a good food tour while visiting a new city and this one did not disappoint! Great way to see and learn about the area.....and oh yeah...maybe try some food dishes you wouldn't necessarily order for yourself! There were 10 of us in a group. We enjoyed meeting new people. All of the food stops were great! Noah was an excellent host!

Excellent food tour in the Gas Lamp Quarter. - Excellent food in authentic restaurants you wouldn't know about unless you lived in San Diego. Loved that a little history about the city was mixed in too.

Delicious food, perfect food-to-walk ratio, and a guide who made it memorable - We've been on several food tours, and this was a great one. The food-to-walk ratio was perfect to keep up the appetite, and Noah made it feel like a casual walk with friends. All the food stops were delicious and worthy of repeat visits, and we picked up some extra recommendations around town from Noah and other people on the tour. I'm not one to pick favorites in a sea of great, but the guy at Havana 1920 showed the most hospitality--and made some great cocktails to accompany our empanadas. Beyond food, we really enjoyed the stories at and between tour stops. The description calls it history, but it was really the guide making us part of the memory of this interesting San Diego district.

Great Gaslamp Food Tour - This was one of the best food tours we’ve ever taken! The tour provides a great mixture of food types including bagels, Mexican, Cuban, Thai and ice cream. Each restaurant had great food and customer service. Our guide, Noah, did a great job of sprinkling the Gaslamp Quarter’s historical tidbits in with food facts. He also was very organized and ordered food prior to the upcoming stops. This reduced our wait times at the restaurants. Our group of guests really bonded during the tour leading to good conversation and made the time feel too short. If you’re looking for a San Diego food tour, I highly recommend this one.

Foodie Food Tour - Noah , our tour guide, was extremely knowlegeable and fun. I live in San Diego and learned so much . The food was excellent except the Mexican restaurant. Fish tacos were very disappointing and atmosphere not the best. I have already booked another tour with family , will request Noah and ask for another restaurant to replace the Mexican one .
