    3. Capitola guided food and history tour

    4.3· 3 reviews· 2.5 hours

    Three hours walking tour of Capitola — a five-course meal with local vendors, storytelling, and insight into the beach town's culture and history.

    The walking tour in Capitola was exceptionally organized. The guides were informative and chose a fantastic variety of tastings from the area's top local businesses. Our family declared the clam chowder at Castagnola as 'the best ever.' The nuggets of local history made us feel like part of the community. I highly recommend starting any vacation in the area with this excursion for great recommendations on food, drinks, music, and scenic views.Freedom33359510567
