My friend and I made an impromptu plan to visit Carlsbad and take the Food and Walking Tour, hosted by Cheri. I wasn't sure what to expect, but after our first stop tasting a delicious meatball that was so large it fed four people, I was hooked. The combination of stops to sample delicious fare at family-run restaurants, with the intermingling of Cheri's insight into Carlsbad's history, was the perfect balance as it provided opportunity to get a little walking in between stops and enjoy the outdoor charms of the downtown area. I enjoyed the food so much, I wanted to come back the next day to do the tour again. Cheri is a great ambassador for small businesses in Carlsbad. Try the tour you'll be glad you did!

This was the perfect activity for someone spending a few days in Carlsbad. It was interesting and informative and the small group allowed everyone to visit. We picked up ideas of more things to do and the food was great.
