It is said that simply tasting enlightens ones senses .... this tour does just that - it captures the true essence of the foods sampled and the venues visited. Bravo to Angee for offering a fun filled afternoon.Michelle G. San Luis Obispo, CA

This was awesome- PERFECT afternoon activity for both SLOCals and out-of-towners. Angee is the perfect host- bubbly, funny, and has an awesome grasp on SLO's culture and history despite not having grown up here. As a 20+ year resident, it was so much fun to get out and walk and discover spots I hadn't heard of, hadn't tried, or hadn't thought of in a long time. Thank you Angee for a delightful afternoon of amazing food and libations- and the good walk. I'll be back for sure!Holly H. San Luis Obispo, CA

I've lived in San Luis Obispo for over 3 years and this food tour introduced me to so many restaurants that I had no idea existed! Angee, our tour guide, was awesome and super knowledgeable. The tour lasted about 4 hours and during that time we went to 6 different restaurants. Total value too, as both my husband and I were stuffed from all of the delicious food we ate! Whether you're a local or a tourist, put this on your list of "must do" in SLO!Sabrina G. San Luis Obispo, CA

For the full San Luis Obispo experience Taste of SLO Walking Food Tour is a must. Walk along down town San Luis Obispo with a group of food lovers to multiple locations where you will taste SLO local favorites. Enjoy food and drink from some of the most talked about restaurants, down-town breweries, and wine bars. Angee the owner and tour guide, is incredibly knowledgeable about the business that she takes you to and her fun-loving personality make for great entertainment. Bring along your best friends and make new ones as you bond over good food and drink. Hands-down one of the best experiences. I would recommend this to anyone looking for something fun to do on the Central Coast.Kasey S. Corvallis, OR
