Crazy expensive for what you get. We stopped at five places, and at each one you only receive small bites and drinks. If you don’t drink alcohol (like me), it’s even less worth it. The last stop was a dive bar and was pretty mediocre. You could easily spend half the money and do this on your own.
There wasn’t much history shared, and Carole didn’t seem very enthusiastic or engaged as a tour guide. Overall, I’d save your money. The only standout was the clam chowder at The Lobster Trap—but even that was just a small cup.

We had the best time on our Catalina food tour! Our guide, Carol, was incredible. She grew up on the island and had all the inside scoop — it felt like walking around with a local friend. She knew everyone who passed by and was genuinely excited to share stories, history, and fun little nuggets of information that you won’t find in a brochure.
The food and drink selections were delicious and thoughtfully chosen, and every stop felt unique. It was the perfect mix of culture, flavor, and local charm.
This experience is a can’t-miss when visiting Catalina. Highly recommend! 🌴✨
