Encinitas Food Tour - I went on Encinitas Food Tour with a group of friends celebrating a birthday. Ben was a fabulous food tour guide. He took the group to many points of interest walking through the city and was very knowledgeable on knowing the history and stories behind the scenes. Bend took us to Taco City which had very unique, tasteful tacos on a fun outdoor patio. We went to Culture Brewing Company for 3 tastings while Ben brought in delicious pizza from Gelati and Picatti for the group while we were having fun drinking our beer. We went to Third Corner Restaurant and had a delicious pasta dish while we were sipping a wonderful Chardonnay. We also stopped out Broad Street where we had freshly baked doughnuts to start our food tour and ending with a stop to local ice cream store. Ben took us down alley ways to show us beautiful murals. I highly recommend this tour. Ben was fun, knowledgeable, friendly, provided the tour with lots of interesting dishes and stops. We left the tour feeling very full and had a wonderful, fun day!!

Just book it! - Ben, our guide, was super friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. He is affiliated with Carlsbad Food Tours which we also did and loved. All the samples were delicious, used quality ingredients and weren't too filling, including the beer stop. The walking was fairly easy, but definitely wear comfortable shoes. Encinitas is a hidden gem! In addition to the food, Ben also gave us intriguing facts and history which really enhanced the experience. The downtown area has interesting artwork and looked very clean overall. It was bustling due to the Memorial Day weekend but it wasn't annoyingly crowded at all. We really didn't have to wait to be served anywhere. I highly recommend this tour!

Encinitas Food Tour with Sue - Delicious Food, Interesting Facts, and Fun Conversation! - Wow! What an excellent way to learn about Encinitas while sampling delicious food and drink! My friends and I were celebrating a birthday and our guide, Sue, made sure to make the day extra special for us. She really went the extra mile. The food was delicious, the facts were interesting, and the conversation was fun! I highly recommend this tour - it was beyond our expectations. In fact, we plan to do another tour for our next birthday celebration in August.

Great Food & Beer Tour to do with friends! - My friends and I had the best time going on the Encinitas Food & Beer Tour to celebrate our birthdays. We have done a similar tour in Carlsbad, so we were excited to check out the local Encinitas eateries. Sue was a wonderful tour guide! She was very attentive and helped to accommodate our friend who is gluten intolerant. Also Sue was very knowledgeable about the history of Encinitas and the different businesses we went to. I would recommend this tour to others.
