Food, culture, storytelling and enriching history! - Absolutely wonderful guide! Scott had the most vibrant style of story telling and knew so much in depth detail about the land, the food, the origin of certain foods, and the cultural significance of old town in San Diego. He was fabulous and we thoroughly enjoyed our time! I was absolutely stuffed by the end!

Tacos and history - I enjoyed the mix of history and food on this tour. I was impressed with their ability to adjust for the dietary requirements of everyone on the tour. I went on an busy Saturday evening and my only complaint is there was a lot of waiting around for the food at each restaurant. I would have preferred one more food stop and less waiting around at the two sit-down stops. Otherwise, great tour, I highly recommend it.

Quick/Pleasant food and drink tour - The tour overall was good. Our guide was energetic, knowledgeable and well organized. We had a group of 7 for a work outing and really enjoyed the tacos and the margaritas. Overall I thought the content was a bit light and we didn't walk very far but it was nice to get to see Old Town with some historical facts and get tasty quick drinks and bites to eat.

Overall I was happy with the history provided, however, it did seem a bit unorganized and the timing of things was awkward. Although the 2 restaurants we went to for tacos knew our group was coming and at what time, things were not prepared so too much sitting around to me for the price and length of tour could probably be shorter if made more efficient.
