We did this tour with Magda and had a great time! Our group was fantastic and the entire tour was well-paced and so much fun. We left with full tummies, an appreciation for Old Town and some great recommendations for a future trip. My spouse doesn't drink alcohol and was perfectly accommodated throughout. Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to review our tour in Old Town! We're so proud of Magda for continuing to hit it out of the park with her San Diego knowledge and love for hosting and food!
I took my employees out for a team builder and this was the best experience. We live in San Diego and learned so much history we were not aware of. Our guide Benedict was the best! Planning to do this again with my family.
Woohoo! We're so happy you had such a great time with Benedict on our tour! Thank you for bringing your team, and we look forward to seeing you again with your family!
My husband and I really enjoyed it. Our tour guide Ben, was friendly, easy to talk to and very knowledgeable and Great personality. The food was excellent and the drinks were fabulous. We would recommend this 10/10.

Blerta was so knowledgeable and a lot of fun! Great tacos!
Hooray! So happy you enjoyed yourself!
Old Town San Diego has a rich and interesting history. Tacos and Tequila were great! Ben was a terrific guide. Very knowledgeable and personable and not just about Old Town San Diego. He had a number of great recommendations in the greater San Diego area. Great tips on the little extras we could do around the things we already had planned.
Thank you so much for the amazing review on our tour and our guide! We appreciate you sharing!
Benedict was a great tour guide. He was informative and friendly
Thank you so much! We are so happy you had a great time in Old Town with Benedict!!
Our tour guide, Magda, was well informed about the food, the sites we visited as well as the whole San Diego area. My family and I felt she gave us an authentic look at “Old Town” and its history and current happenings. The food was amazing and we enjoyed margaritas, overall very fun! Definitely recommend this tour and Magda!
Thank you for taking the time to review our Old Town tour! We appreciate the love, and we're thrilled to find you had such a great time!
We had Magda as our guide. She was great - lots of info on the old town area and very nice :) Food was sooooo good! We would for sure do this again! Our group was mixed with couples and families and it works for everyone.
Thank you for the 5 stars! We're so happy you enjoyed your time with Magda!
We had a great experience with Ben, we had a small group and learned a lot about San Diego’s history between having some casual easy going conversations with the group. We were really pleased with the food and drinks and we did not leave hungry or totally sober. We got a great taste of old town and Ben was a fantastic tour guide. Thanks again
Thank you so much for the great review! We appreciate you mentioning your feedback on the food and drink quantities and qualities, and we love that you had a great time with Ben! Thank you for joinings!
We were looking for something a little different for our visit to San Diego, a web search brought up Tequilas, Tacos, and Tombstones. Reservations were super easy, follow up from the company was immediate and consistent. Apurna met us promptly at the appointed time. Courteous, friendly, and professional, we were immediately comfortable with Apurna. For the food portion, we were perhaps a bit skeptical that a couple tacos and margaritas with chips and salsa, some elote, and a churro, would be enough. It was plenty. More importantly, Apurna as a guide was fantastic! Apurna has obviously spent considerable time learning San Diego's history and did an amazing job of presenting it to us. Apparently Apurna has been doing guided tours all over the world for over 20 years, and her experience and expertise showed. This was a very chill experience, got to have same tasty food and learn some San Diego history.
Thank you so much for the thorough review! We appreciate you choosing our tour, and for taking the time to talk about your overall experience. Aparna is a remarkable person, and she's one of 8 wonderful guides we have on staff! We hope you will consider another one of our food tours in San Diego for your next visit. We offer them in Little Italy, La Jolla, and Gaslamp in addition to Old Town.
