Experience History ​One​ Bite at a Time

Embark on a distinctive historical exploration of culinary pleasures. ​My journey of story telling, sharing the rich history, local charm ​and delicous food commenced on the streets of Laguna Beach, CA ​in 2010 and has since expanded to encompass San Juan ​Capistrano, San Clemente, with upcoming plans for Anaheim! It’s ​been an amazing 14 year journey. Our tours allow you to explore ​these cities on foot, savoring local cuisines, and enriching each ​stop with tales about the venue owners' origins and the captivating ​towns we traverse. With Southern California's perennial sunshine, ​our tours operate year-round for an unforgettable experience. ​We c​an’t wait to show you around!

Walking ​History and ​Food Tours

Experience the beautiful views, flavorful tastes and fascinating ​history of South Orange County picturesque towns on a fun and ​leisurely walking tour. Over the course of this nearly three hour ​excursion, you'll feast on the architectural, historical and cultural ​aspects of San Juan Capistrano -- but the main focus is on the ​food! You'll duck into a few of our favorite local restaurants, ​including a few hidden gems, and sample some of their signature ​items. This tour is casual and fun and has something for everyone.

What an enchanting day! I surprised my mom with this walking ​tour and we both went home happy and boasting about the day ​we had. SJC is such an enchanting little town, laden with history. ​The people are sweet and friendly, the places we stopped at great. ​Good eats, good wine, good coffee, good pastry, great company! ​What more can one ask for? We made new friends and our ​tummies were full by the end. My mom & I stayed for an hour after ​to browse around shops we didn't have time to on the tour. ​Though only 40 miles away, we felt transported to another place. ​Highly recommended!

What a delightful afternoon spent with Laura & Jeanne! My dear ​friend and I took the tour not knowing what to expect but looking for ​something unique to do. It was way more than we expected and we ​would highly recommend it. I have lived in the area for 36 years, but I ​still had fun hearing about the history, exploring some places I have ​never taken the time to learn about, visiting local businesses and ​sampling so many delicious treats from around town. Everyone was ​very welcoming and gracious...it is obvious that Laura has done a lot ​of work arranging the visits and selecting tour guides to make these ​tours a special treat! We will definitely go back to revisit SJC soon!!

My cousin booked this as a way to keep my sister and I ​busy and out of her hair haha and we thank her for ​booking this walking food tour for us. It happened to be a ​rainy day in the OC and we were about to cancel then ​decided not too ... however the rest of our group did. So it ​was just my sis and I along for the trip. It was basically a ​private food tour!


Every place we visited they have great service and there ​was a story behind it which we loved.
