Noah, our tour guide, was phenomenal!! He was patient and filled with fun and interesting history! I grew up in San Diego… it was fun walking around downtown. However, the highlight was visiting spots I’ve never been to and getting a taste of cuisine I would’ve never stopped at on my own. I will be visiting all of the restaurants we went to again. I’m already planning spots for my anniversary weekend!! Amazing experience!! 😃

Great experience nice tour through the neighborhood I had become familiar with just days prior. The tour stopped at many of the restaurants that I had written off during my prior walks around the neighborhood. Lydia was an excellent tour guide and kept the tour engaging and fun in spite of the poor weather we were experiencing in the area. Best of all was the Havana 1920 restaurant were we enjoyed the best empanadas. Great tour , I highly recommend for visitors to the area👍🏿

We had an amazing time on the San Diego Sidewalk Food Tours! Noah was fantastic — informative, friendly, and engaging. He made the whole experience feel like a fun exploration rather than just another tour. The pace was perfect — not rushed, but energetic. Every stop was delicious, and we learned so much about San Diego’s culinary culture. If you’re looking for a memorable, tasty, and educational way to experience San Diego, go with San Diego Food Tours — and ask for Noah! Highly recommended.

Had a wonderful food tour experience with Lydia L in San diego. We went to 5 different locations, starting off with a coffee/bagel place, then a lumpia Filipino restaurant, then Havana 1920 Cuban place, taco Centro, then lastly an ice cream place. I loved the Havana and bagel locations but I think the other places lacked uniqueness and history compared to Havana 1920. I think the tour could be more unique if other locations with more history were picked.
