The fusion Greek/mexican gyro/quesadilla was the bomb. Could have eaten two. All in all we enjoyed trying new places and enjoying being out of our comfort zone. Would absolutely recommend this tour.”

I would return to most of the places we were shown, albeit perhaps making different choices based on personal preferences such as chicken over beef etc.”

Sometimes on food tours you eat while standing and walking but it was nice to sit and take it all it. Blerta was so great! She made sure to ask us all our favorite food and then give a local recommendation to try for that food. Would highly recommend. Come hungry it’s a lot of food!!”

“The tour began with awesome communication and positive texts from the owner of the company. Then we heard from our guide about details. The tour itself showed beautiful shores through Rosarita on our way to the Valle de Guadalupe. Our guide shared first hand experiences of the area since he is from nearby. The Cava Maciel winery was our favorite with a peaceful landscape all through the property. The wonderful server talked about the family that started the business and showed us where the process took place. The 4 course meal was outstanding at our 2nd winery and our 3rd stop had a quaint family feel. Plenty of varieties of…”

“Maybe it goes without saying, but you will eat alot of sugar on this tour. By the end, it was more of a chore to keep eating than an enjoyable experience - and that says alot coming from a high-tolerance sugar enjoyer! Wade is a very nice guy and we enjoyed meeting him but we were underwhelmed with the kind and amount of information he was able to share about the area. Much more of his dialogue was personal in nature versus what you would typically expect on a tour. Our group was small though and I know he was trying to fill the silence so I cant blame him,…”

Especially of its game day at Petco Park! We could here the excitement of the game at our final stop which totally add to the evening. Stefan was mindful of the time so we could leave before the game was over. Such a wonderful experience! I'd definitely try another tour as this was so fun.”
