On our Secret Food Tours: San Diego, you'll explore the downtown area while enjoying dishes with influences from Mexico to the Far East.
Your guide will take you on a mouth-watering food journey exploring diverse cuisine that has evolved over generations. Feast on the freshest seafood, succulent pork, grilled tuna, sweets and of course our delicious Secret Dish!
At the end of your tour, you'll have sampled some of San Diego's most delicious dishes and gained a better understanding of our culture and history.
All the food will be served with water and at times, a non-alcoholic beverage. Or if you prefer, a thoughtfully curated Upgraded Drinks Package is available.

The downtown area is one of the best places in the city to see the roots of all the cultures that have contributed to our cuisine. With old hotels, historic buildings, and our colorful areas like Little Italy, this area is truly emblematic of the rich cultural heritage that make up the fabric of San Diego history. As you stand on these historic streets, you'll be able to see the nearby downtown highrises and get a sense of the evolution in architecture and culture that has developed over generations.

Unfortunately, the weather is unpredictable in San Diego. We do not issue refunds as per our terms and conditions. We also inform you that we never cancel a booking even if we have only 2 people! However we do reserve the right to cancel the tour if we feel the weather is extreme, and we cannot run the tour due to this for more info see our Terms and Conditions: https://www.secretfoodtours.com/terms-and-conditions/
You must book directly on our website. We do not accept cash payments. Our online payment is safe, secured and SSL protected.
The booking fee that you have to pay is up to our ticket provider and we can't change it. All our clients need to pay for it upon booking. The booking fee charged contributes to the cost of the ticketing system to provide an excellent service to our customers.
A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund this fee as a gesture of good will.
