About Us

Destination Food Tours was started on the idea that when history, culture, food, and people combine, something very exciting is born. On A Taste of Santa Monica food and cultural tour, we do just that.
While walking through the streets of Santa Monica, you will feel the breeze from the Pacific Ocean. At A taste of Santa Monica Food Tours, we would like to give guests an inside look into our beautiful town. Tourists and locals alike can learn and explore many great places that may otherwise go unseen!
