Delicious Venice Beach experience

Denisse was fantastic! She took us to unique local spots, with wonderful, delicious food. We had plenty to eat! Denisse was fun, kind, enthusiastic, knowledgable, and personable. So much more than food, a true experience. Our teenage daughters had a blast as well!

Fun afternoon

We did the Santa Monica food tour and it was a really fun afternoon. It ended up being just my husband and I on the tour and Cassie made it a great experience. We're locals, but thought it would be a fun way to explore things that we hadn't tried before and it delivered on that - with a Croffle (a croissant waffle) and a Japanese hot dog. Both were really good! There were 6 stops on the tour and it was the perfect amount of food overall. We hadn't done a food tour before, but this made us want to try it again exploring other neighborhoods!

Food culture of Venice Beach (+history too!)

Great introduction to food culture of Venice Beach; and added bonus was the guide's deep knowledge of the history of the Venice Beach community. …and the food was delicious!

Definitely do again!

Great experience! Denisse did a wonderful job of sharing her love of Venice and knowledge of its food and history. The food selections were diverse, tasty and we can’t wait to try some of these places again

Great Way to see Venice, CA

Cassie was super friendly and knew all the best spots around Venice Beach. We hit some cool places on the beach and some hidden gems off it. I usually stick to vegetarian, but those meat empanadas were seriously good! The Japanese sweet potato at the end was amazing. Definitely worth it if you want to try stuff you wouldn’t find on your own. Learned a lot about the town and got to eat yummy food!
