5.00A truly fun and memorable walking food tour. It was great to try tacos we've never tried before and each one was delicious. Time spent at each taco spot was well paced, with plenty of time to enjoy the ambience and scenery. Courtney is the best tour guide - a lot of fun, very knowledgeable of the history and the downtown area, and shared not-to-miss spots for the rest of our stay. Truly enjoyed this tour. Strongly recommend this tour for anyone interested in a unique downtown walking tour.

5.00Taco Tour Santa Barbara was the best thing to do while visiting this beautiful city in south west California. My friends and I loved our tour guide Courtney. It was like a walking history tour with a lot of laughter. The tacos were delicious, we couldn't even finish the last one, the margaritas were sublime! Will definitely return!
