Personable small group tour
Wonderfully personal tour! Carol made it feel personal with her stories and history of Catalina as we tasted delicious food-fish, potatoe tacos, chocolate cookies and empanadas with each stop serving a drink (some alcoholic ). I would highly recommend this small group tour.

Great and Fun Tour
My boyfriend and I had an amazing experience on the Catalina Food Tour! It was one of the highlights of our trip to the island. We visited several wonderful local spots and enjoyed a variety of delicious food and drinks that we probably would not have discovered on our own. Beyond the food, we really appreciated learning about the history of Catalina. The information and stories shared throughout the tour gave us a greater appreciation for the island and truly enhanced our overall stay. Our guide, Janet, was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the entire experience fun and memorable. She did a fantastic job sharing Catalina’s history while creating a fun and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the tour. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Catalina. It’s a wonderful way to explore the island, support local businesses, and enjoy some incredible food and drinks along the way. Thank you, Janet, for helping make our visit so special!
