Chris was an outstanding guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable and made the history and content engaging and interesting throughout the tour. The food stops were excellent, and I especially appreciated that he gave us options to choose from at several locations, allowing everyone to find something they enjoyed. Chris's enthusiasm, expertise, and attention to detail made for a fantastic experience. Highly recommend!
This was our first food tour ever in any location and it was an awesome experience. Matt M, our guide, was not only knowledgeable of the eateries we visited but also of the buildings, their architecture and their history. We would recommend this tour to anyone visiting LA and if you get Matt as your guide, lucky you!!
It was a great tour. Our guide, Scarlette, was very knowledgeable about the area being a local. The food choices were wonderful and such a fun surprise of flavors. I felt that the wait times for the food items were a bit long but overall it was a great time. I would highly recommend signing up for this tour to get a different perspective of Los Angeles.
Scarlett’s food choices were widespread and interesting. We were not rushed & all of the food was delicious. She also knew a lot about the architecture and the history of Los Angeles.
The guide provided a lively informational tour. The food was amazing. I would take the tour with this company again.
We had a great lunchtime walking around LA getting a history, architecture lesson as well as many yummy things to eat.
