Truly exceptional food tour!

Honestly don’t know where to start with how incredible this tour was! We originally had a downtown La food tour booked with a different company who cancelled last minute but delicious dish tours were able to organise a tour for us last minute on the day! Denisse was our tour guide and having done 10+ food tours in different countries around the world I can easily say she was the best tour guide we’ve ever had. Engaging, fun and dynamic she really made the experience both memorable and fun beyond compare. The food itself was also amazing, you could tell the tour was created around food spots the company had tried and truly loved vs just googling trendy spots in the local area which led us to try places we’d never normally go into, but would go back to now everytime we are in la. Highlights were the incredible tacos, Banh mi and gyozas with plenty of other suprises. A huge thanks to denisse and the company for organising the stout so last minute and we will sure be back next time we are in LA! In one word all we can say is: HUEVO!!!

Food Tour

Nice tour but should perhaps spend more time around Spanish district. Our guide Alejandro was friendly and enthusiastic.

The Best Food Tour to Date!!

Our guide Romayne, was absolutely incredible and exceeded our expectations. She was so friendly, so knowledgeable and a delight to be around! We learned so much history of the city and different cultures. We laughed and shared stories and she felt like a close friend that we’d known forever by the end of the tour. We were sad to part way with her!!
