Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Santa Barbara Ice Cream Tour?

A: There’s no strict age limit for the Santa Barbara Ice Cream Tour, but it’s mostly geared towards adults and older kids who can appreciate the flavors! Younger kids are definitely welcome, but they might not have the same taste for the more unique flavors. Just make sure to check with the provider about the specific guidelines when booking.

Q: What should we wear for the tour? Any suggestions?

A: Casual, comfy clothes are the way to go! You’ll be walking around, so wear something light—especially since Santa Barbara can get warm. Closed-toe shoes are a good idea since you’ll be strolling along palm-lined streets. Plus, don’t forget sunscreen and sunglasses if it’s sunny out!

Q: Can we reschedule if there's bad weather?

A: Yes, you can reschedule! AFK Food Tours is super flexible. If the weather looks bad on your tour day, just reach out to them, and they’ll help you find another time. It’s best to keep an eye on the forecast, especially since Santa Barbara weather can change pretty quickly.

Thinking about the Santa Barbara Ice Cream Tour for my friend’s birthday!

Hey everyone! I’m considering gifting the Santa Barbara Ice Cream Tour to my friend for her birthday. I love the idea of trying different ice creams and strolling around the city. Four stops with full scoops sounds amazing! Has anyone done this tour? How was the experience? Any favorite stops I should look forward to?

Just did the Santa Barbara Ice Cream Tour—so good!

I went on the Santa Barbara Ice Cream Tour last weekend, and wow, it was such a fun experience! We hit up four places, and the contrast between the flavors was spot on. The guide was super knowledgeable and kept things interesting as we walked around State Street. I’d recommend it for anyone looking for a chill afternoon. Just bring your appetite!
