A Great Walking Tour - There was only 2 of us so we had Katie’s full attention and she was fantastic. She knows the history and the background around the area which we’re unfamiliar with so we learned a tremendous amount. The food selection was very good and the walking and stopping was just the right amount. Would recommend the tour and Katie to anyone.

Awesome Tour! - Had a wonderful and interesting tour with Faith. Learned a lot about the neighborhood and sampled some delicious food. Foods that I probably
would not have tried on my own. Faith was great!

Lovely Tour - I had great time exploring the food in the neighborhood. I happen to be the only person for the tour, which made it very special. I appreciate that the tour company still ran it! Faith was very knowledgeable about the neighborhood and the foods we sampled. I tried some that I otherwise would not. Highly recommend.

Great way to spend an afternoon in LA - The guide, Katie, had a great personality and was full of information about the area. The food at the original farmers market was especially fun because you can be as adventurous as you want there! It’s a vibrant area of the city that I’m glad I took a few hours to explore!

Farmer's Market Like You Never Knew... - This is my second tour with Delicious Dish Tours and they did not disappoint. We do not live far from the Farmer's Market but participating in the tour allowed us to appreciate this area we often passed. Our guide Jean was a hoot. She was knowledgeable of the history and I appreciated the selection of restos visited. This time I literally dragged my husband , who is not an adventurer nor curious, to come along. To my surprise, he had many questions for our guide who answered with ease. This is a perfect event to gift someone. Next month is my son's birthday and I will surprise him with a tour.

No bargain!! - Seriously overpriced for the food provided. The guide was pleasant and knowledgeable but we can’t get over the skimpy food selection.
Save your money and go on a different tour.
