Come with an appetite and comfy sneakers! - I learned so much about the history of Los Angeles and I've lived there off and on for decades. Who knew? Our tour guide Annalise (name?) was such a treat. She was upbeat, friendly and a pleasure to spend an afternoon with. The nibbles were okay. Guisados was delicious. I look forward to returning for lunch or dinner.

Fabulous guide, food, and history! - Alaina was fabulous! We loved how she interspersed LA history and architecture with our food stops. All the food was delicious, too! Worth it!

A Tasting plate of the very best LA has to offer. - If you love food and like a bit of architecture and some great history stories, then this tour is fantastic. I never would have been to so many fantastic eateries in LA without this tour. A tasting plate of the best downtown LA had to offer all within a 3 block radius. Great to work out where you’ll return for a more in depth meal later on. Our tour guide was amazing and very knowledgeable.

Great experience in Downtown LA - Would highly recommend this tour and our guide. I especially loved visiting the Market and learning about the history of the area. There were some great restaurants here that I would not have known about but will explore the next time I visit LA. Also, the size of the group was perfect and it was nice getting to know some of the other participants.

Fun tour with delicious food and history - The tour was great. We went to five food stops and they were all delicious. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about downtown LA and I enjoyed learning about some of the history of the area as well as the different restaurants we stopped at. Would def recommend and make sure to not eat too much before because there is a lot of food!

Nice! - Scarlet was nice, but the tour itelself was mediocre. We've taken many food tours, and this wasn't the best. There should've been more food tastings at the Grand Central Market, instead of just one item.

Commentary good, food disappointing - Jean Michael was friendly, spoke we'll on the tour and was very helpful especially with directions after the tour. We felt the food experience was very disappointing. We received half a croissant, 2 kebabs, 2 gyozas, a quarter toasted sandwich, a very small taco and a donut. Most of the food was shared and served on a paper napkin. Some water provided but no other drinks. For $150 each we felt this was not good value for money.
