I don't normally write reviews but I had such an amazing tour with foodie foosteps I feel I have to! Truly a foodie experience (i.e. the food was delicious and plentiful). Our Guide, Laurie, led us to several fantastic restaurants where we sample their signature dishes along with a specialty cocktail. The homemade pasta, bread, and dipping sauce was my favorite (that paired great with the Chianti Reserva they served with it). The tour took us all over downtown La Jolla and into the La Jolla cove. Laurie gave us some history and showed us the area from a locals perspective. Could not recommend more if you like food and want a excellent tour of the town!!Shout out to Foodie Footsteps! What a fun way to spend a Sunday with friends! Beautiful walk, amazing food and hearing the unique history of La Jolla was the best. I highly recommend and can’t wait to go on another tour.

What a perfect way to experience a bit of La Jolla. I was short on time and only had a few hours to spend in La Jolla. This tour included four stops at amazing little gems of restaurants, and along the way my guide talked about the neighborhood, the history, pointed out interesting sites, and suggestions for what to do after or on a future visit. I felt like I got a very well rounded introduction to the area. The food at all four stops was spot on. Absolutely delicious and well executed in charming locations. And I couldn’t have asked for a better guide. She was charming, gracious, and I enjoyed our conversations as much as the tour.Janine was so knowledgeable of the area an gave great recommendations! The food was outstanding and we got to see much of La Jolla along the way. Would recommend!
