We took the Brothels, Bites and Booze tour the afternoon of Valentine's Day (after all, romance was…read morein the air, so it seemed like a good fit). This was, hands down, the best walking tour we've done, and we do these regularly around the world. We met our guide, Blerta (aka B) under the Gaslamp sign, and promptly started our tour. Our first Bites and Booze stop was at Meze Greek Fusion, were we sampled sangria and an interesting Greek quesadilla (sounds strange, yet it worked). We learned a bit about the company that owns Meze, and then continued our tour through the Gaslamp, learning a ton about its history. Our second stop was at Double J's BBQ, where we enjoyed an in-house lager and a pork belly taco. For those who "know" BBQ, and think that there's no way a BBQ joint works in CA, of all places...think again. This was damned good. We continued our tour, again learning more about the history of the Gaslamp. Let me interject here and say that Blerta was a fountain of information, delivered in a way that you can tell she loves doing these tours. Our third stop was The Field - an Irish restaurant that we've visited in the past (when one is married to an Irish woman, you can sort of expect that). It's always fun to walk through the restaurant, where the decor is over 100 years old. We tried an Irish Mule (go figure) and a Shepard's Pie. For me, the bite wasn't my thing...but then, I'm not Irish. Our last stop was a stunner - Cali Cream. I'm not a sugar person, so rarely have ice cream. But Blerta gave us the rundown on how they make the ice cream every morning, so when it was time to place my sample order, I went with Rocky Road (truly the Champaign of ice cream, IMHO). My wife with with Pistachio. The samples were HUGE, and incredibly delicious (easily the best Rocky Road I've ever had). Bottom line, GREAT way to spend an afternoon exploring the history of the Gaslamp (who knew there were so many brothels in Gaslamp in the 1800s?) The booze and bites selections were well done, Blerta was simply awesome, and we'll definitely be giving So Diego Food Tours another go. HIGHLY recommended.

It was fun and we had a group total of 7 with our tour guide being Benedict. He was a great tour guide with a lot of info that I didn't know about Old Town! The food and drink amount was great and well spaced out during the tour. I didn't feel too stiff and slightly was walking it off during the tour which was nice. 10/10 would go again!

Area explored: South Park…read more 3 stars because: - It's an exciting idea - It's pretty fun - It can be better My girlfriend and I were the only ones in the group who have actually been on a food tour before. The two of us had fun, but I was concerned for the others. To be brutally honest, if this was my first food tour, I might not have the greatest impression of food tours in general, which would be unfair to everyone involved. I spent the entire tour just trying to figure out not necessarily the directions to the next top, but the direction of what this tour was trying to achieve. Was it supposed to be packed with food? Because I wasn't stuffed. Was it supposed to be a culinary experience? Because it did not show much intrigue after the first place. And it didn't help that the tour ended about an hour earlier than the projected end time. Now, don't get me wrong. Everything we ate was delicious. And Annette (our guide for the day, who also happens to be the head honcho of 'A Taste of San Diego' food tours) was very nice, courteous, and knowledgeable when asked questions during the tour. The tour itself showed some of the struggles in collaborations with the businesses in the area. Translation: 'How can we show off these awesome places if they're not even available (and sometimes unwilling) for food tours?' What was good about this tour? It featured some fine places in the area that can be seen as landmark locations that put South Park on the map. What could have made this tour more interesting? - HISTORY. Tidbits about the area that aren't obvious and can't easily be found out on our own. We understand that it would take extra work to prepare, but it all invests into potentially a great tour. - STARTING INSIDE OUR FIRST STOP. This time, it wasn't an issue at all, but it can be. The location where we met could have easily sent tour group patrons far away. Thankfully, the blocks were not big. - MORE STOPS. Like I said earlier, there could easily have been a setback in scheduling and accommodation, but the amount of stops we had (3) honestly did not leave us satisfied. Three stops honestly felt like a regular night out even without a tour. In closing, what I'm basically saying is that there's so much potential for tours in these areas. I would still support them because I believe in the concept. I just think that as a patron, I would want to know and experience as much as possible from the time I'm dedicating to a tour. In the meantime, until they figure out the details of how to improve, you'd be better off at any of those self-guided walk-abouts (like Taste of Adams Avenue) to get your own free samples and have an experience that is just as good, if not better.

It started with a donut and then included two more desserts along the way crepes, and gelato. That felt excessive and unbalanced. Typically, food tours are paced more thoughtfully with a variety of courses like appetizers, soups, salads, and a solid main dish. The pasta was underwhelming and didn't feel like the highlight it should have been. You could tell the meatballs were previously frozen. Not one person finished the taste. Overall, the tour lacked variety, balance, and quality. It just didn't feel well thought out or worth the cost. It needs to be revamped. I really wanted to enjoy it, but unfortunately it missed the mark.
