"Great food and a wonderful way to explore San Diego"

Thank you to our guide, Richard, for a great food tour through the Historic Gaslamp Quarter. We enjoyed a variety of tastings and especially enjoyed the Meltburger, the Tiger Eye Coffee, and the Californian Burrito. The tastings were spread apart enough that we did not get full too fast and Richard added in a lot of bonus historical and local area knowledge that added to the experience. This is a great way to get to explore the area with a local who has already scouted out some of the best local spots to enjoy. We have always enjoyed our food tours with Secret Food Tours and this was another lovely afternoon..
