Wonderful! Ben is awesome! Learned a lot! He was very patient and thorough. He made sure we were able to see and explore a lot of new things! Loved seeing the seals and sea lions!

Enjoyable Afternoon in La Jolla

We took the La Jolla food and drink walking tour with Magda last weekend and it was FANTASTIC! This was my first time to La Jolla despite my husband visiting often when he was younger. We dined at three unique restaurants + finished the tour with the most amazing gelato. We also stopped in a gorgeous local art gallery. Magda did a great job sharing the history of La Jolla with us while we slowly walked around the town. We received a glass of wine with the first tour stop, a small margarita with the second stop, and a glass of sangria with the third stop. We definitely felt full after the tour. Pro tip - DEFINITELY follow the parking limits when parking in La Jolla - we ended up getting a parking ticket which was our fault - we were in a 2 hr parking spot for 4 hours.

Operator response

Thank you for the great feedback! We're happy you had a great time! I'm sorry about the parking ticket. They are very strict about parking throughout all of San Diego. When in doubt, please refer to our website or call us for parking recommendations.

Lots of food, no history

While we enjoyed the food on the tour, we were disappointed that our guide did not provide more information on La Jolla, history, etc.

Operator response

We're so bummed to find that the history on the tour did not meet your expectations. Our guides are trained and very knowledgeable about the history, so I'm not sure why the history was cut short. We're happy you brought this to our attention, so we can address this issue with them. We're happy you enjoyed the food, at least!

Absolute best food tour!

We were a group of six friends from high school, we have been on a lot of food tours, but this one was our absolute favorite! AnneMarie was our guide, she was so informative and fun, each place we visited was so awesome! The Art Gallery was very interesting, all in all we had a wonderful time. The other group that was on the tour with us, were so sweet, they had taken their mom who had turned 90! She could outwalk us all! Thank you for such a great tour.

Operator response

We're so happy to find that you had a great time with your friends on our La Jolla tour. It's so great hearing about your experience, and enjoying the other group on the tour. We hope you decide to join another one of our tours soon!

Just book-it! 😃 Sip, Savor and Sea

The Sip, Savor, and Sea tour in La Jolla was an incredible experience! The food and drinks at all three restaurant stops were delicious—so flavorful! The gelato stop at the end of the tour was also a real treat. Each restaurant made us feel like VIPs, and our tour guide, Annemarie, was great — she was knowledgeable, fun, and charismatic! We were fortunate to share the tour with other couples from different cities and backgrounds, which made for great conversation along the way. In addition to the great food, we visited an art gallery, where we had the chance to see some remarkable pieces and learn about the artists who created them. It really added something special to the experience! The final stop at La Jolla Cove allowed us to get up close and personal to numerous sea lions! You WILL want to experience this – as it was quite amazing! 🤩 The tour ended at a beautiful location, allowing the hubby and I to enjoy a relaxing stroll by the sea before heading back to the train station. The ocean views were breathtaking! Everything was well organized, from starting on time to wrapping up right on schedule. This was our second tour with this tour company, and we plan to keep going until we've done every one of their tours! Nicole (owner) is always a pleasure to book with - so friendly and welcoming! I even booked their San Diego Gaslamp Quarter tour for my son and his friends last year for his 21st birthday, and they had a blast! If you’re looking for a fun, delicious, and scenic experience, this tour is a must-do! If you are considering other tours with this company, just go for it! I'm sure you won't be disappointed!
