Got to have Faith!
Fantastic! Faith was very entertaining with great stories and information and just out right nice. The food was yummy with full portions. In addition to scrumptious things like great dumplings and amazing Sharma, also had unique write home things such as the mushroom taco and persian cucumber ice cream. The locations were notable including posh superba. The tour guide Faith made the day special - make sure to ask for her!
Operator response

Best for Foodies
Our guide, Penelope, was extremely sweet and knowledgeable about the Hollywood area. My boyfriend and I are pretty introverted but Penelope was a great conversation starter and kept everyone engaged. Would do again!

Not worth the money, not gourmet more fast food
Waste of money. Don’t waste your time or money.
It was more street/ fast food tasting.
First stop was a dumpling venue where you get one dumpling only, second a tiny half of a Shawarma, third a fast food taco outlet where you get one of the tiniest soft mushroom tacos. fourth an actual restaurant where the only offer was a Kale salad shared between four people, the fifth was a Thai takeaway that was closed for renovations, the alternate venue turned out to be permanently closed, ended up at the Roosevelt pool side bar with a bowl of Korean chicken shared again between four people. I had to buy more food at that venue as everyone was still hungry. Finished at an ice cream shop.
Not Gourmet at all, more of a scam really at a cost of $240 each and only about $70 food purchased for the whole group.
Niall the guide, was friendly and informative.
Operator response
We’re sorry this experience did not meet your expectations. Our Hollywood tour is designed as a curated tasting experience highlighting the diversity of Los Angeles food culture, including immigrant-owned and neighborhood restaurants. We select dishes for quality, flavor, and cultural relevance—not simply convenience or ambience.
One scheduled stop was unexpectedly closed that day, and our guide provided a replacement venue and additional food so the tour could continue. At the Hollywood Roosevelt, guests received two dishes, Japanese-style fried chicken and tuna crudo, at a historic location connected to early Hollywood and the first Academy Awards.
Because we design the tour, select the restaurants and menu items, and verify our restaurant charges after each tour, we are confident the guest’s food-value estimate does not align with our records. We appreciate the kind words about Niall, and as a small locally owned business, we take feedback seriously and strive to address concerns professionally.

Hollywood food tour
Good food tour with Aphrodite. Included lots of facts and tips about the area as we walked through the neighborhood. Enjoyed the afternoon. This is my last attempt at reviewing this experience. If I'm forced to create an account, I will abandon this review. Thanks!

The Best Food Tour Ever!
The guide was incredible! We have been on food tours all around the world, & this was head & shoulders above the rest. Originally from France, the guide had an amazing knowledge of the local food scene in LA, as well as of the local culture & history. Kind, thoughtful, super knowledgeable & super informative. She wins the Oscar for best tour!!!
