This was a highly...

This was a highly interactive experience and our guide was friendly and pulled everybody in so you felt like you were part of the group. By the time it was over, we made really good friends that were local to the area which was an added bonus we didn’t expect . In a lot of situations like this you feel kind of disconnected, on your own, but that was not the case here. It was fun, it was comfortable and friendly, and it was very enlightening. And of course, the food and drinks were perfect. I w...read more

Such Fun Being Capitola Foodies!

This was a very well thought out walking visit through Capitola. The team was knowledgeable and selected a great repertoire of tastings. All of the establishments were Capitola's best locally owned establishments. Our family voted 'the best ever' clam chowder from Castagnola. Nuggets of Capitol's history made us feel like insiders. Highly recommend this excursion at the start of any vacation near the area. Ideas for where to visit for good food, beverages, music, and views will be all set.

Worthwhile walk!

A great effort was made by this new outfit in Capitola. All of the restaurants were wonderful, from meeting the owners to the fabulous food they each served us. The tour still needs a little work in combining history info along the walk but they are continuously working on making improvements. Serena's passion for Capitols comes across easily and we enjoyed great conversations.

Good bites

The experience was fun overall. This is new for the guides so I’m sure they’ll get more refined as they do more tours. They really need a new, eye/appealing sign. They told us a lot of history and fun facts about Capitola. We started at a wine bar, which was a fun treat (we tasted 2 great wines) then we made our way to several restaurants. The choices of bites were good, overall. However, I think she should think about the order a bit more. We thought we would get courses of a meal, in order, st...read more
