A beautiful outing in Santa Barbara with friends. Joseph knowledge of Santa Barbara’s history was interesting.

Joseph the tour guide was nice but the food was not I expected. Half a sandwich and 1 macaroon??!! It's not worth 40 dollars per person. So hungry after the tour.

Nilda,
I am sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. As the owner and guide of this recently started small business, I am always looking to improve the tour, so I value your constructive feedback. The intent of the tour was to provide a "skip the line" experience where a visitor would taste food from three locally owned small businesses while learning more about each restaurant and the easily walkable area of Arlington Plaza. The portion size of each of the three tastings are designed to allow room for lunch at the end of the tour at either of the three restaurants or at any of the recommended restaurants we discussed during the tour. That is the reason why we have the tour time slotted from 10am to 12pm so you would be ready for lunch afterwards. I apologize for not making that point clear.
In regards to pricing, the cost of the food, the tip for each of the three food tasting locations and the booking platform fees are all included in the $40 price. The value is the "skip the line" experience with a reserved private table at restaurants where lines are extremely long and seating is at a premium.
Thank you for your transparency and taking the time to write a review.
For anyone reading this review, please note that Nilda only lists two food items. There are actually a total of three food items included in this tour: one for Breakfast, one for Lunch and one for Treat (BLT).
