This was one of the best tours I have ever been on. I still use the “training” for taking pictures of food that I learned on the tour.

The food & drinks on this tour were fabulous - especially at We Want the Funk! Dillon as our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. A great way to try some different foods and learn more about beautiful Santa Barbara!

Camilla was a great tour guide. She took my girlfriend and I to parts of Santa Barbara we had no idea existed. She has a robust knowledge of the history of the Funk Zone. We went to a balanced array of places and Camilla ensured we did not wait or lose time. She even proactively cleaned tables, when needed, to save time. It was my girlfriend’s birthday and she had a great time. We definitely would recommend. They even accommodated our preference of no pork.

A must-do! A great way to kick off a trip to Santa Barbara! Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and we had a great time eating our way around the the funk zone and taking pictures along the way. Definitely go on an empty stomach because we were in a food coma afterwards! Our guide gave recommendations for eating and drinking through out Santa Barbara, which we took and were not disappointed. Can’t recommend enough.
