We absolutely loved our Culinary Backstreets tour in Los Angeles. It was an incredible value for the amount of food, history, culture, and local insight packed into the experience. We ate amazing food at places we never would have discovered on our own, and we came away feeling like we had learned so much more about the communities, traditions, and people behind what we were eating.
Our guide was perfect—knowledgeable, warm, engaging, and clearly very connected to the neighborhood. One of our favorite parts was seeing how she interacted with the restaurant owners and people we met along the way. It was obvious that she was genuinely respected and welcomed in the community, which made the experience feel much more personal and authentic than a typical food tour.
This was easily one of the highlights of our time in Los Angeles. If you love great food and also want to understand the culture and history behind it, Culinary Backstreets is absolutely worth it. We would recommend it without hesitation.

Absolutely Incredible Experience
Such a fantastic value for the money. Our guide, Desiree was so friendly and knowledgeable. She provided a historical and cultural context for the city that changed the way I see Los Angeles. The food we ate was all incredible and I learned so much. I will look for other culinary backstreets tours anytime I travel because of this experience. 5 stars!

Locals and visitors will love this!
Sometimes it’s fun to explore a place that you thought you knew…having grown up in So Cal, we have spent plenty of time exploring LA. This tour takes you through tourist areas, yes- but our guide Jannine introduced us to local business owners, and shared the history, the culture, and the pride of our diverse downtown communities. They say nobody walks in LA, but it can be done! Great variety of stops along the way. Excited to go back and deep dive into some of these spots on our own!

Extraordinary food tour
Our tour was AMAZING! Janine was fun, helpful, extremely knowledgeable and our day couldn't of been better. Her idea of showcasing how different cultures are mixed in the Chinese and Japanese neighborhoods was fascinating. And so much wonderful food to eat and people to meet. I am afraid we disappointed Janine bit because we couldn't eat at the last stop She is a true asset for Culinary Backstreets. Tom G

LA Food Tour
Fantastic tour of Chinatown, Japantown, Olvera Road and some Korean and Vietnamese food. Food was excellent and more than we could eat. Great guide.
