A Vegan Food Tour You Don't Want To Miss!

This was our first experience in San Diego, and Ben made it great! Right off the bat he was hilarious. The random little facts he knew about the downtown area and its history was neat. He knew so much about the art, history, food, and vegetarian/vegan history. We had fresh juice, pizza, tacos, chips & guac, jaritos, and ice cream. We were stuffed by the end. The tofu potato mushroom tacos at Pokez were so delicious. It wasn't expected, but hanging out with Ben felt like hanging out with an old friend. Highly recommend this tour and his others!
Delicious for all eaters

Had a fabulous time on the vegan food tour. I’m an SD local and my vegetarian friend was visiting from out of town. Was great for both of us! The food was AMAZING, so great to learn new places to go in a really cool neighborhood. Was stuffed and had delicious leftovers. Planning to take my vegan friend next time she visits! Ben was great.

We had a great time and ate amazing food on our walking vegan food tour of North Park. Ben, our tour guide and the owner of the company, was exceptional. He is warm, friendly, has an encyclopedic knowledge of local history, art, and food culture, and clearly has great relationships with the restauranteurs on his tour route. We received personal attention at each stop, including one of the restaurant owners joining us to present their food, eat with us, and tell us the background on the dishes and his family’s restaurant. And the food… delicious and plentiful at each stop, even for two non-– vegans like us! It opened our eyes to how good vegan food can be. I’d give our tour an extra star if I could.

I pick my tours thru Marriott Bonvoy because I trust their partnerships. This tour with Ben was exceptional. The second restaurant we went to Rancho Cocinas, the owner Edmundo Mouet spent time with us, talking about the dishes and recipes. Ben also was a good conversationalist, super polite and the restaurant partners clearly enjoyed him bringing guests to their establishments. We learned about bean Diego’s neighborhoods and saw several murals created by local artist. Enjoyable and well worth the money.

The food was great, the area was cool but by far Ben made the tour what it is. So amazing, what a great guy with tons of knowledge on art, history of the area and veganism in general, also has some dope dad jokes as well. He even surprised us with a birthday candle for my wife's birthday. Ben is the man!
Wonderful food tour

I would highly recommend this tour. San Diego is truly a culinary destination and Ben’s perfectly curated itinerary introduces us to great spots. It is a very manageable walking pace and Ben does a great job sharing wonderful historic anecdotes about the city. You will definitely not be hungry afterwards; there is so much food! Thank you Ben for this unique experience!

This Vegan Food Tour was so good, I can't stop recommending it to everyone I meet. I was wondering if I would be hungry after this tour...NOT EVEN! We ate so many delicious meals, I was stuffed. I went back to two of the restaurants we ate at the same week, I can't get enough. Special shoutout to our guide Ben for his enthusiasm and knowledge. I learned and laughed a lot 10/10!!!
Fantastic guide and food

This was a perfect food tour to try 3 great restaurants in San Diego and I was definitely full after this experience! I traveled solo and Ben was an excellent & friendly guide. He stopped and pointed out things along our walk between restaurants and had a lot of local knowledge to share.
Perfect activity in a new city!

Ben hosted a fantastic outing, which was my first ever food tour. His communication, professionalism, and organization were all perfect- even while he was extremely approachable and easy-going. I’m not vegan, but I thoroughly enjoyed Ben’s food selection! The way he blended in history of San Diego, the gaslight district, as well as vegetarianism and veganism was brilliant! I highly recommend Ben as a tour guide, and Ben’s curation of food, historical info, and locale, as a way to get a true taste of San Diego.

Ben was a fun and enthusiastic tour guide, and he provided pro tips and kickass food for our vegan family! We learned a bit about San Diego history, enjoyed some street art and architecture, and tasted some of the best pizza any of us have ever had. We then sat down for overflowing tacos full of savory tofu and topped it off with creamy oat milk ice cream from another great location. Ben gave us a well rounded activity and was a great resource for us. We enjoyed our time so much that we booked another tour with him for the following day!
