Have questions? Here's the most frequently asked.

Yes. We call in food orders to all of our tasting locations one hour prior to the start of the tour, so ticket sales close 1 hour prior to the start of the tour.  The Food Tour has become very popular, so please make sure to book in advance as group sizes are kept small on purpose (16 guests or less per tour time).

Yes.  There are restrooms at the base of the Green Pleasure Pier, right next to the starting point.  There are also restrooms at every dining location we visit.  Just ask your guide for their location in each establishment.

Absolutely!  Don’t forget your camera or phone.  Our biggest advice – take pics before your start eating at each location.  Empty plates are nice, but not as fun to share…

Walking time to common locations:

  • Cabrillo Mole Area: 7-10 minutes
  • Basketball/Volleyball/Old Ben Park Area: 3-4 minutes
  • Green Pleasure Pier/Island Tour Plaza: 1-2 minutes
  • Casino Building: 7-10 minutes
  • Descanso Beach: 15-20 minutes

You know it!  This is a food tour, so all of the food and beverage is included in the cost of the ticket.  It will be enough food for lunch.  Most people report being pleasantly full at the end of the tour.
