As a traveling partner of this display name, I had a lot of issues with the extremely crowded market areas we were taken to. I would have preferred much smaller venues and far greater attention and respect for health and safety, particularly as I explained my miserable previous experience with Covid. The tour guide was knowledgeable and informative, but it was clear to me it was all about his choices in venues, safety and lack of respect for the threat of infection that was pervasive. His personal mask wearing and distance while speaking were more than inconsiderate. I do not understand this attitude. I would have preferred wider food choice options as well. This tour could have been a great deal safer without compromising the goals of the guide.

Thank you for your feedback. We take the safety of our guests very seriously. Our guides and customers wear masks when walking between the food stops, and to listen to the guide's spiel. Downtown LA is bustling and back to its former self. People are comfortably eating at Grand Central Market and have been for months now. Our guests should gage whether or not this is the right activity for them, since we are out and about in a public market and on public sidewalks. We appreciate your feedback.

Our family of 4, including 2 young adult foodies, really enjoyed the information presented and the variety of foods we tasted. Chris was a very knowledgeable guide and the tour moved along at a great pace. Look forward to trying some of the other tours offered and would recommend as a fun activity for anyone visiting LA.

This was such a rich experience. I got to learn lots about the history of LA but I also got to eat lots of amazing food! We were stuffed by the time we got home. This is my new main activity for future vacations and trips. Let sidewalk food tours do the planning for you!
