We loved our food tour with Ben! Great stories, history of Carlsbad, and tasty offerings at each stop! Bonus: doubles as a mural tour!

We did a family Food Tour to celebrate my birthday, and it was fantastic. Our tour guide was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and thoroughly seemed to enjoy his work. The restaurants and food choices were perfect, and we had a great time. I highly recommend it for tourists AND locals. And we will go back to the places we visited. It was terrific marketing for them.

The Carlsbad Food Tour and Wine Tasting was an exceptional experience that exceeded all expectations. Each stop offered a delightful variety of flavors—from authentic Italian dishes and Mediterranean bites to a decadent strawberry shortcake and carefully selected wines. The tour was well-organized, and the pacing allowed plenty of time to savor each tasting and enjoy the charming atmosphere of Carlsbad. Our guide, Ben, did a fantastic job leading the group with enthusiasm and deep knowledge of both the food and the area’s history. Overall, this was a first-class experience that I would highly recommend to anyone seeking a memorable culinary adventure in Carlsbad. Excellent job, Ben and team!

Well I'm a food reviewer from Denver I was staying in North County for 8 nights. The food tour we took with our tour guide, David was absolutely the best food tour I've ever been on. And I've been on a few in different parts of the country. The history of Carlsbad and the information and the food itself we're just Way Beyond my expectations. My wife and my older son and I had so much fun. I can't say enough about this experience. We spent the next few days going back to Carlsbad from where we were staying in Oceanside and trying some of the restaurants and all were good recommendations and they were all excellent. I've never met a more personal knowledgeable or passionate person who gave me a tour of anything is a phenomenal experience and I can't say enough about our guide.

We had a great time with David as our guide. We had 6 different tastings and was plenty of food for a meal. David had all the insight of local cuisine but most interesting was the history and culture of Carlsbad. We have done similar tours in Europe and it was fun to join while we had a month in Carlsbad.
