EASY – Walking tours are designed for a leisurely pace but may include uneven sidewalks, some stairs and a combination of walking and standing for up to two hours.

On our food tours you’ll discover our unique Carlsbad cuisine, sampling delicious specialties from local eateries, bakeries, restaurants, and culinary landmarks. Our menu shifts depending on seasonal availability. Each tour has 2-3 savory tastings, 1-2 wine or beer and 1-2 desserts.

We do our best to accommodate the special dietary needs of our guests, however we can’t guarantee all stops will be able to do so. When you book a food tour, let us know about any dietary needs/preferences (e.g. allergies, vegetarian, kosher, gluten-free) and your guide will help identify items you might want to avoid.

Our food tastings and portions are generous and roughly equal to a good-sized lunch. We recommend coming on the tour with an appetite as most guests leave comfortably full.

We present tours rain or shine, bring your umbrella or jacket with hood.

Our tours cover approximately one mile of walking, and we move at a relaxed and leisurely pace. On our food tours, you’ll have regular opportunities to sit down during tastings.

Our professional guides are skilled public speakers and work hard to make sure everyone can hear during the tour. If you are hard of hearing, please let your guide know and we’ll ensure you get a front-row seat.

For Downtown Tours:
There is free street parking spaces throughout the village. There is also parking at the Carlsbad Village Train Station at 2775 State Street, Carlsbad, CA 92008, located next to the meeting location.

We offer both a flexible date change service at no additional cost and a fully refundable cancellation policy for our Food Tour.

Our #1 priority at Carlsbad Food Tours is giving great tours. If you don’t have a great experience, let us know and we promise to make it right with a full refund or voucher for a future visit.

There are restrooms available along the tour route.

Yes, we only offer tours in English currently. Please email or call us if you would like to plan for your own interpreter to join the tour.

If you feel your tour guide has provided a great experience, gratuities are encouraged— and welcomed—at the end of your tour. We believe that recognizing excellent service is a personal matter, though 15-20% of your booking fee is a good rule of thumb. Gratuities for your guide are always appreciated, but never expected

Advanced purchase is strongly recommended, as tours often sell out well in advance. To maximize your chances of getting the day and time you prefer, please book well in advance.
