The Best Food Tour to Date!!

Our guide Romayne, was absolutely incredible and exceeded our expectations. She was so friendly, so knowledgeable and a delight to be around! We learned so much history of the city and different cultures. We laughed and shared stories and she felt like a close friend that we’d known forever by the end of the tour. We were sad to part way with her!!

Food tour in dtla

Denisse was an outstanding tour guide who made our entire group feel genuinely cared for. From the start, she took the time to learn everyone’s names and used them throughout the tour, which made the experience feel personal rather than generic. With a group of 8 people and very different personalities, that’s no small feat — but she built a real connection with each of us and did her best to accommodate everyone’s individual needs along the way. Her energy and humor kept the whole group engaged from beginning to end. You could tell she genuinely wanted everyone to have a great time, and it showed in every interaction. She even took the extra step of making sure we had sunblock so no one got burned — the kind of thoughtful, above-and-beyond care that really stood out. If you’re looking for a tour guide who combines professionalism with warmth and genuine enthusiasm, ask for Denisse. She turned a simple tour into a memorable experience for all of us.

Operator response

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear how Denisse made your group feel so welcome and cared for—we’ll definitely share your wonderful feedback with her. We’re always looking for ways to make our tours even better, so if there’s anything we could have done to make your experience a 5-star one, we’d love to hear it!

Average Food Tour

Cassie was an engaging guide who answered all of our questions about LA. The food was mostly good (the Thai dish at the end, candy and ice cream were just ok), but there was way too much of it (full portions provided), no beverages other than water provided and the pacing of the food was odd-3 items at the last stop and no water provided at this last stop. We enjoyed seeing the historic center of town, Chinatown, Little Tokyo and the Grand Central Market, but only some historical and/or current information about some places were provided (never were told about history of Grand Central Station for example) and hardly any information provided about the food and why it was chosen. For example, stopped at a candy shop and were given two pieces of prepackaged candy with no explanation as to what/why we were eating it or when given the Thai dish we were simply told what it was but nothing else such as about the Thai population of LA, if the dish was representative of Thai food in LA, etc.). My mother felt that with all of the great food, diverse populations, etc. in LA it was an odd selection/representation of food from LA. Lastly, none of the food was preordered which I have never experienced on a food tour and so the pacing/management of the tour was off. At one point we waited 20-25 minutes at table for the guide while she went to pick up food.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful and detailed feedback. We're glad you enjoyed exploring Downtown LA with Cassie and appreciated her knowledge of the city and her engaging style. We're sorry the overall experience didn't live up to your expectations. One of our goals is to connect each tasting to the history of the neighborhood and explain why it was selected as part of LA's diverse culinary story. From your comments, it's clear we didn't provide enough of that context during your tour, and we'll be using your feedback to reinforce that expectation with our guides. We also appreciate your comments about the pacing. While some vendors—particularly inside Grand Central Market—don't allow us to pre-order, we recognize that extended waits can interrupt the flow of the experience and are always looking for ways to improve. In your case, we also customized several stops to accommodate vegetarian preferences within the group and to avoid repeating locations that some guests had visited on one of our other tours the previous day. Although we strive to personalize the experience whenever possible, we're sorry those substitutions didn't feel like the strongest representation of Los Angeles' food culture. We sincerely appreciate your feedback. Reviews like yours help us continue improving, and we'll be taking your comments into account as we refine both our storytelling and the overall flow of the tour.

Great experience for 1st timers or LA natives

We had Romayne as our guide and it was an amazing experience. We are not strangers to LA but she showed us areas and history that we had not heard of. The food at each establishment was fantastic and the portions were big. At the end of the tour we left feeling like we had just been hanging out with a friend that knew all the cool spots and had the best stories

Operator response

Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re so glad Romayne helped you discover a new side of LA. Hearing that it felt like exploring the city with a friend is one of the best compliments we could receive—we’ll be sure to share your kind words with her! 😊
