Loved this tour!! The food was amazing! Our guide Brooke was fabulous, and I got to explore parts of LA I didn't even know existed! Whether you are local or from out of town, this food and history adventure is definitely worth it! I felt like I was traveling again, and it was so refreshing. Go hungry because there are loads of tastings waiting for you!

This was the first time my boyfriend and I had an experience like this and it was wonderful! Our tour guide Brooke was FANTASTIC! She was so knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I loved our little tour group; the experience felt very intimate and catered to each of us. I learned so much about the area and discovered so much I hadn’t seen before, even as a native of LA! It was wonderful and I can’t wait to book another!

Mike was an amazing tour guide. Although we covered a lot of sites, we never felt rushed. There were lots of photo ops along the way. As well as amazing food and surprises throughout the tour. I would recommend this tour.
