Santa Barbara Funk Zone Small-Group Guided Food and Photo Tour

When you stumble upon an eye-catching mural or beautiful photo opportunity, listen to your guide as they share a few helpful photo-taking tips. As you walk and snap, take a break to enjoy a small sampling of the Funk Zone’s range of tasty foods and drinks. Hit three restaurants, a brewery, a wine bar, and more enjoying a mix of the best gastronomic delights Santa Barbara has to offer. Best of all, benefit from your guide’s useful food photo tips.
