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!!

Food tour in dtla

Denisse was an outstanding tour guide who made our entire group feel genuinely cared for. From the start, she took the time to learn everyone’s names and used them throughout the tour, which made the experience feel personal rather than generic. With a group of 8 people and very different personalities, that’s no small feat — but she built a real connection with each of us and did her best to accommodate everyone’s individual needs along the way. Her energy and humor kept the whole group engaged from beginning to end. You could tell she genuinely wanted everyone to have a great time, and it showed in every interaction. She even took the extra step of making sure we had sunblock so no one got burned — the kind of thoughtful, above-and-beyond care that really stood out. If you’re looking for a tour guide who combines professionalism with warmth and genuine enthusiasm, ask for Denisse. She turned a simple tour into a memorable experience for all of us.
