Fun Way To Experience Old Town - We had a GREAT TIME on our tour. Our guide Benedict, was very friendly and super knowledgeable about the history and location. I'd definitely recommend this tour and our guide to others that are looking for a fun way to experience Old Town and have some food and drink in the process ;)

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.

History and great food - This was a terrific experience! Magda was knowledgeable & made sure to engage equally with the multiple groups in our tour; she answered all our questions & recommend places to eat and shop while in San Diego. The food was excellent and the tour a nice use of our time.

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!

Delicious tacos and interesting stories - Ben was a fantastic tour guide, and the tacos and tequilas were delicious. The churro at the end was a nice surprise. Highly recommend!

Nice walking tour - Our group enjoyed this outing. All 4 of us live local so it was cool to get some background history of San Diego. We did spend a lot of time eating vs walking. And it would have been nice to go in to different historical buildings

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.

Utterly dissapointed - Starting off with the guide was an hour late. Literally stood on the street for an hour waiting. So to make up for the time the tour was very much rushed and lackluster . For the amount of money I paid for this was crap
