Thank you to Intuit for creating an unforgettable experience for our teacher summit group. My experience with the Foodie Footsteps Food Tour in La Jolla was nothing short of delightful. From start to finish, the tour was expertly curated to showcase the culinary gems of this charming coastal town. The tour included a diverse selection of local eateries, each offering unique flavors and specialties. From freshly caught seafood to artisanal cheeses and gourmet desserts, every stop exceeded expectations in both taste and presentation. Highlights included a succulent lobster roll at a seaside cafe and decadent handmade chocolates at a boutique chocolatier. Our guide, Laurie, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about both food and La Jolla's history. She provided fascinating insights into each venue we visited, sharing stories about local chefs, the origins of dishes, and the neighborhood's cultural influences. Her enthusiasm was infectious, making the tour not just a culinary journey but also an educational experience. The tour was well-paced, allowing ample time at each stop to savor the food and soak in the ambiance. Walking between locations was manageable and gave us a chance to appreciate La Jolla's scenic beauty. The tour was also well-organized, with seamless transitions between venues and thoughtful arrangements such as reserved seating and pre-arranged tastings. Foodie Footsteps Food Tour in La Jolla surpassed my expectations in every way. It was a perfect blend of delicious food, informative insights, and enjoyable company. Whether you're a local wanting to explore hidden culinary gems or a visitor eager to taste the best of La Jolla, this tour offers an exceptional experience that's not to be missed. I highly recommend Foodie Footsteps Food Tour for anyone looking to indulge in a memorable gastronomic adventure while discovering the vibrant flavors of La Jolla.

The Taste the Flavors of La Jolla food tour was a one of a kind experience! I have been living in San Diego my whole life, but had never been to the restaurants Laurie picked out for the tour - and they were all SO wonderful! Each place we arrived at had all of the food and drinks already prepared, and Laurie had so many fun, interesting facts to share about each restaurant, the food, and the history behind the locations. I learned so much about La Jolla history and what makes La Jolla so special. Whether you're a tourist or a local, this tour is incredible. I would highly highly recommend and would attend again!

Wonderful exploration of La Jolla Village! We visited three award-winning restaurants with unique stories that are building blocks of the Village. It was fabulous to visit these venues for my first time! With Lauries’s knowledge of so many areas on our walk, it completely enhanced our walk and dining on this sweet and savory adventure. There were many conversations along the way about art galleries and historical details as well. Laurie is a fantastic guide and delightful to share the evening with! I highly recommend this as a way to enjoy some relaxing dining and chatting with friends and family!
