My lady and I signed up for the Ojai Food Tour and were immersed in such delicious foods that we ended up returning to most of the restaurants the following day before heading out of town. We were the only ones on the tour which created a intimate environment that was a definite plus. Our guide Melissa was great and... More

I had seen the interesting review of this tour in our local paper last summer, and we finally made reservations and drove the short distance from our home in Thousand Oaks to Ventura. Our guide was Maureen, and she was extremely knowledgeable and friendly! She also provided a lot of fascinating history of the Ventura area, including historical photos. We... More

Guide Allison Costa's recipe for a Saturday afternoon outing combines conversation sprinkled with... More

We had a great tour and want to go back to spend more time in this lovely little historic town. The downtown area is just packed with shops, restaurants, and historic sites, many of which will be introduced to you by the Ventura Food Tours tour guides. You just can't see and do it all in one day! More

We learned everything you could want to know, from where and how the coffee is grown, how it travels, how it is roasted, the optimum time to... More

Allison was a fantastic guide that was extremely personable and knowledgeable. We returned to two of the shops after the tour to buy some goodies for later that would remind us of our enjoyable...
