Don't Eat Before This Tour Starts!

Our tour guide Riley gave us a personal tour because we were the only 3 people on the tour! He was very informative and chose very good food stops. Everything was delicious. You will not be hungry at the end of the tour. We had tickets to a Padres game after the tour. Riley was able to "speed up" the stops a bit more because it was just the 3 of us. We were able to get to the game just as it started. I would recommend this tour.

Delicious food!

Great food! Eric was a wonderful guide. The Gaslamp area is like most downtown areas - not very clean and a lot of unhoused people. But the restaurants are clean and staff is very nice.

Operator response

Your feedback is always welcome. It’s great to know you enjoyed the tour. We look forward to seeing you again with Secret Food Tours!
