    Guests consistently rave about the passionate guides who bring Santa Barbara to life through food, history, and local culture. Captain Kirk and Maddy both earn glowing praise for their extensive knowledge of the city's architecture, cultural heritage, and current food scene, delivered with warmth and humor that makes the experience feel like exploring with a well-connected friend. The tour strikes an ideal balance between leisurely walking and stopping at quality establishments for wine tastings and diverse food samples, with highlights including Secret Bao and birria tacos mentioned by name. The four-hour experience offers excellent value, combining curated tastings with genuine insights into Santa Barbara's character. Groups appreciate the intimate size and often mention making new friends along the way, while the guides' flexibility shines through in their ability to seamlessly adjust when unexpected situations arise. This tour works beautifully whether you're getting oriented on your first day in town or celebrating something special like a bachelorette weekend. Just come hungry and ready to walk.

    Captain Kirk was a lovely tour guide and we had the most wonderful day seeing the best of Santa Barbara. Secret Bao was one of my favs and my husband can't stop talking about the birria tacos. Just the right amount of walking and the right amount of food! Great way to see the sights and learn the history all while eating some delicious snacks along the way.
