In our last post, Team Building in Santa Barbara: A Taco Tour Your Coworkers Will Love, we shared why a guided taco tour beats trust falls and conference rooms. This time we're taking you behind the scenes. Here's how Taco Tour SB plans a corporate outing from the first email to the last bite, so all you have to do is show up hungry.
Step 1: We Start With Your Team
Every company outing is different, so we start with a quick conversation about your group. We'll ask:
- What's the occasion? A team bonding day, a quarter-end celebration, a new hire welcome, or client entertainment.
- How many guests? We'll plan the right flow and pacing for your group.
- What's your budget? We'll build options that fit it.
- When works best? Weekday afternoons, evenings, or weekends.
Once we know what the day is for, we can shape the tour around it.
Step 2: We Build a Custom Itinerary
This is the fun part. We pick taco stops around downtown Santa Barbara that fit your group's size, pace, and tastes. For a big celebration, we keep the energy up. For client entertainment, we allow more time to sit, talk, and enjoy each stop.
Our local partners know us, and we know them, which means your team gets a smooth, welcoming experience at every stop.
Step 3: We Take Care of Every Guest
A great team outing works for everyone at the table. Before your tour, we'll collect:
- Dietary preferences like vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free
- Food allergies
- Any mobility needs or walking limits
Then we plan tastings so no one is left out.
Step 4: We Add the Extras
Want to make the day feel special? We can add:
- Local drink pairings, like margaritas or regional wine and beer
- A private tour just for your company
- Group photo stops your team can share on Slack or in the company newsletter
Step 5: We Send You Everything You Need
A few days before your outing, you'll get a simple rundown to share with your team: where to meet, what to wear, how long the tour runs, and tips for getting there. No planning spreadsheets, no chasing vendors, no stress. [Add meeting location and tour length.]
Step 6: We Lead the Way on Tour Day
On the day of your event, your guide greets the group, shares the stories behind each stop, and keeps things moving so everyone can relax and enjoy. Your team walks through the neighborhoods near State Street, soaks up the coastal weather, and bonds over some of the best tacos in the American Riviera.
You get to be the coworker who planned the best outing of the year, without doing any of the planning.
