I had never done a food tour before so I was really excited to go on this adventure. I brought along my mom for a mother/daughter outing on Mothers Day. The tour was excellent! A blend of history, and culinary experiences that were all different and unique. Combine that with perfect weather, we couldn't have asked for a better time.... More

My sister Danielle and I joined Ventura Food Tours for their first run of the "Morning With The Chef" tour. We gathered at the Certified Farmer's Market in downtown Ventura, CA where we met our tour guides, Allison and Chef Cindy Liu of Loo Hoo's Aisan Comfort Food. This tour was in perfect timing with the Chinese New Year, so... More

I've taken food tours in several cities and Allison is up there with the best of them. She is very knowledgeable and the price is very reasonable for all that we did. It was the first chef-led tour and had we not been told, I would have assumed she had done many of them. We had a thorough briefing on... More

As a long time resident of Ventura County downtown Ventura was not a place to go. Boy have times have changed. We started at the farmers market and learned the difference between farmer markets and ended with a food demo with the chef in a Spice store (spice topa). All along the way we had tasting of food witch included... More

We took this tour with Margaret and we were the only 2 people on her tour that day and yes it became a private tour; she was so punctual meeting us at the exact time and we had so much fun and at the end of the tour you feel like you've known her for a long time; she is... More

Allison and Margaret put on a great afternoon of walking, sharing Ventura history and tasting for my group of 40 managers. It was a beautiful day, we enjoyed great food and drink and the pace was casual and unrushed. Allison spent many hours planning the day in advance so every detail was flawless. I would highly recommend the Ventura Food... More

We just moved here and Ventura was closer than LA to explore. So we booked a city tour with Maureen and we had an excellent time. A bit of history of local landmarks, mixed with "ready when you arrive" samples of delicious food. We did not feel rushed to our next venue and it was a perfect way to explore... More

Such a great way to spend a Sunday. It was like being IN one of those Travel Channel food shows. I liked talking with the chefs/owners, learning some history of the foods and the locations, and of course the tastings. Would certainly recommend this activity.

This was a wonderful experience. We were met in the lobby of an old hotel by Allison Costa. she is a terrific tour guide. She explained what we were going to experience and provided us with history of the buildings and area we were touring. The event was well planned by her as each venue we entered was waiting expectantly... More
