So much fun! Blerta was awesome! - This was so much fun and a cool way to see San Diego! The food was great and I loved that we had enough time at each place to sit down and enjoy it! Sometimes on food tours you eat while standing and walking but it was nice to sit and take it all it. Blerta was so great! She made sure to ask us all our favorite food and then give a local recommendation to try for that food. Would highly recommend. Come hungry it’s a lot of food!!

So much fun..... - This was by far, one of the best tours I've been on. We all came from different parts of the US and the energy was on fire...LOL!!! Our tour guide "Benedict" was professional, fun and made sure we had a good time. There was a little disruption from some "local talent"..lol, but Benedict never broke his stride in keep his cool....hats off to him. I would definitely recommend doing this tour...oh and the food & drinks were on point too...especially at "Fred's" Taqueria.

Great start to a batch weekend - Shoutout to the Best Tour Guide Ever Ben!
Just wrapped up an incredible Tequila, Tacos, and Tombstone tour, and I have to say our guide was absolutely wonderful! 🍹🌮His passion for storytelling and local history made every stop fascinating.
With a warm smile and endless charisma, he made sure everyone felt included and entertained throughout the journey! If you're looking for an unforgettable experience, I can't recommend him enough.
Thank you Ben for making this tour a highlight of our trip! 🤗

Go with Melissa! - Melissa did a phenomenal job. Not only did she have all the insights into the local history & tour but she also had the kind of energy & knowledge you want in a tour guide. Would recommend her to anyone!

Very misleading and underwhelming - You only get a vague description of the tour and a very non humorous tour guide. We went and had a horrendous time. First we had watered down margaritas (one) and then walked around yapping and then went to the second location for the margaritas which was actually good however was a trade off offer of a horrible taco. 90% of this tour you can find on your own and would be better n exploring the old town area alone or with family. Overall not a fun experience and definitely not worth $90. You get 2 tacos, 2 margaritas, a cup of elote and a churro. For a tour called “tacos tequila and tombstones” I was very disappointed inThe tacos especially, they were not a good representation of SD tacos.
