Our tour guide, Mike, was absolutely amazing. The food was so good. We wanted to make a second round. He gave us all of the details of DTLA and history. He also described each food stop before we got there. So we were not just enjoying the delicious dishes. We were experiencing the community and the establishment. It was absolutely amazing! I would definitely do this tour again! And those macaroons!

Great walking food tour of downtown LA! We have taken food tours in NYC, Chicago, San Francisco, and this food tour is one of the best. Probably because we had a fantastic tour guide in Colton, who was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of downtown LA and the food we were tasting. He was a lovely person to spend the afternoon with and gave us great recommendations for places to go/eat for the remainder of our stay in LA. The food we tasted was all delicious, our favorite being the tacos from Guisados; truly the best we have ever had! I always love a good macaroon and Bottega Louie did not disappoint. We were more that full after all our tastings, so it was a perfect way to spend an afternoon in downtown LA!

Thank you so much for your thorough review! We so appreciate the feedback. We're glad you had a great time in DTLA - you can't go wrong with those tacos, can you? (Jonathan Gold thinks so, too, so you're in good company.) Thanks for spending your afternoon with us! :)

The tour guide (Mike) was very knowledgeable about the historical sites visited and very personable in his presentation. All six food sites provided great-tasting food. A good introduction to DTLA.
