    I have now had the pleasure of experiencing two different Six Taste food tours and had the best…read moretime at both! I did the DTLA one for my 30th birthday with friends, and then threw a 60th birthday party with family and both were so much fun. Both guides were wonderful and fit right in with our groups, and the food was fantastic (DTLA was really special and I crave the pasta regularly). I was born and raised in LA and still find this to be so much fun and have discovered new spots each time. Highly recommend if you're from LA or just visiting - such a fun way to spend an afternoon or evening!

The…read moreexperience felt thoughtfully curated and relaxed, and we loved getting to try a variety of local spots in the Arts District all in one afternoon. Our tour guide, Sally, was wonderful. She shared interesting stories about the neighborhood and the restaurants, which made it feel more like exploring the area with a knowledgeable friend rather than a typical tour. The food was delicious and plentiful, and we even met some really nice new friends along the way. Our very first Six Taste tour was actually the Arts District tour back in 2016, so it was special to return ten years later and experience it again. Over the years we've also enjoyed their tours in Downtown Los Angeles, Hollywood, Santa Monica, Thai Town, Koreatown, and Little Tokyo. Every tour has been a fun way to discover great food and learn more about the neighborhoods of Los Angeles. Highly recommend!

Totally not the guide's fault, but there was a bit of huddling under awnings and leaping over puddles throughout the evening. Also, there were times we wished that the guides waited to tell stories when we were inside, instead of standing in the weather. We were a big group and they split us into two - we started in different places and met up halfway through. Several members of our group had food allergies. The best part of the evening was the diligence our guide took making sure he accommodated the special diet needs, including some bizarre allergies. There were no slip ups or mix ups, and there was a couple of things everyone could eat at each place. The stories we did hear were very interesting, although it was really limited to a couple of anecdotes here and there. There was more socializing and sampling than touring and learning the area's culinary history, which was fine. We felt like the delivery could have been more engaging and the tour more interactive but overall it was really enjoyable. Good variety of different restaurants, and this was one of the only tours we could find that could do an evening slot instead of just daytime. Food was pre-ordered, and all the choices were really good. A great way to learn about the area and try a lot of different things, while spending quality time with groupmates.

So many things I have never noticed before. Things that I passed by hundreds of times and never paid attention to. Jenny was our tour guide and I could have not asked for a Better guide. I have gone on these types of tours in different cities and always felt very rushed. Jenny was awesome about time she didn't push us to make every location at a specific time. We did the entire tour except for the bike portion and our group was okay with not going that. So we ended up grabbing some dinner and drinks! I will be booking the different tours in the future!

We had an amazing experience. Let me start off by saying I have done this tour twice in the past but my experience this time was great. Jody the new owner was our guide and we all left with a new outlook on the city of Pasadena and its Old Town history. Second, new locations were added since my last tour. OMG! We had Sipping Chocolate & Venezuelan Chicken Empanadas from Amara Cafe, Chicken Wraps & Pickles from Sincerely Syria, Samosa's & Veggie Pakora from Tibet Nepal House, Garlic Naan, Curry Chicken & more from New Delhi Palace, Scones & Two Pots of Delicious Teas from Chado Tea Room. The Chado staff also gave us a complimentary Iced Hibiscus Tea to try. Last but not least we had wonderful Chocolate Candy from Mignon Chocolate. We were even allowed time to shop for goodies in the great Old Town specialty stores. There is plenty of parking in a garage less than five minutes from the starting point. If you are looking for a fun-filled day, reserve your spot with Melting Pot Tours. Wear comfortable shoes as you will be walking for 3.5 to 4 hours. Stay hydrated. Have fun.

Jody told us about the vendors and food. We were part of a small group which allowed us to take our time and really feel like locals. I highly recommend their tours if you want to eat, explore and learn about LA. So fun being tourists in our own town. Can't wait to try one of the other tours. Come hungry because you leave stuffed. And these are just a couple of the goodies we tried.

She shared some history and tips about MB I never would have known on my own. My bf and I were able to bring our dog, which was a huge plus. The town is dog friendly to begin with, so 6 out of the 7 places we stopped at we could bring our fur baby. Each stop, we ate something unique. By stop 4 I was stuffed, but the food was too good I couldn't stop eating. There was a wine tasting which was a great addition. I would definitely do this again and bring colleagues, friends or out-of-towners!

Lauren and Amanda were our tour guides and from start to finish they blew us away with their knowledge of the city and the various eateries. Though this is primarily a food tour, I was very impressed with the time they also took to explain various unique spots throughout the city. From small shops to murals to writings on walls and the ground, they pointed it out and had unique tidbits about them. I could really tell that these ladies took their time to research to make sure this tour was exceptional and exceptional it truly was. I'm from the South Bay but I learned so much on this tour that I didn't know before! I also loved that they chose a variety of different restaurants. It was a very diverse offering and I thought this too was a great way to showcase the city. They really chose some family owned restaurants as well as restaurants that have a lot of history to the city. Everything we tried too was excellent. At the end they asked what our favorite was and I couldn't pick. Chicken wings, tacos, ice cream sandwiches...ahh I loved it all! I even loved some mahi sliders we got to try (and mind you I don't eat seafood but I made an exception for this tour because I trusted Lauren and Amanda's expertise and taste. I'm so glad I did because the sliders were delicious! Yes, if a tour can get me to eat seafood ...then it must be a good tour ;). I definitely would recommend this tour to both locals and visitors. You'll be sure to learn many things as well as get to eat some of the best cuisine in town.

    Daisy's Black LA Food Tour was such an amazing experience! My two friends and I experienced this on…read morea very hot Saturday. I honestly didn't know what to expect, but from the moment we arrived, the energy was welcoming, organized, and full of excitement. The tour was originally planned for three buses, but there ended up being enough people for a fourth. What I loved was that even though the additional bus wasn't expected, Daisy and her team were prepared and handled everything seamlessly so everyone could still be accommodated and enjoy the experience. And the FOOD! We experienced something from several Black-owned businesses, including Red's Flavor Table, Honey Kettle Chicken, Court Cafe, Tal's Cafe, The Serving Spoon, and Sol y Soul. At Tal's Cafe, we had pancakes, eggs, sausage, and bacon. The pancakes were made from a secret recipe and had me trying to figure out exactly what I was tasting! Court Cafe served fried chicken and waffles. But Red's Flavor Table was the standout for me, the shrimp over smothered potatoes was AMAZING. It wasn't your traditional shrimp and grits; there were tender crawfish and possibly grits in the dish, but the smothered potatoes were what really made it special. They had the perfect texture, firm enough to have some bite while still being soft. That was easily my favorite dish of the entire tour! Sol y Soul gave us a delicious cornbread-style treat with sweet butter and peach jam. We also enjoyed food from Honey Kettle Chicken. Each stop had its own experience, and the chefs and restaurant teams personally came out to introduce themselves and share the food with us, which made it feel even more special. But honestly, one of my favorite parts was the bus ride itself. This wasn't just a food tour where you sit on a bus and wait for the next stop. We played games, laughed, talked, exchanged socials, and actually got to know the people around us. It felt like community was being created right there on the bus. Daisy is an incredible host, and her love for food, people, and Black-owned businesses was evident throughout the entire experience. Her team was just as wonderful, knowledgeable, polite, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Even when I was one of the last people to receive my cocktail, they made sure I was taken care of and didn't make me feel forgotten. What really stood out to me was how welcoming everyone was at each business. You could feel the excitement when the tour arrived. It reminded me that LA really is about community, connection, love, and supporting one another. I would absolutely recommend Daisy's Black LA Food Tour! This would be PERFECT for a birthday celebration, girls' day, a group outing, or anyone who wants to experience multiple food spots without having to worry about driving from place to place. And if you're looking to meet new people while eating good food and learning more about Black-owned businesses in LA, this is definitely an experience worth having. Daisy has created something truly special. I had an amazing time and would happily do this tour again!

Daisy posted a Gospel food tour and I jumped and bought tickets. My mom had never been on a tour, and we drove from San Diego without her knowing where we were going so her liking it was a gamble. Mom's review: Daisy's Black LA food tour is something that you cannot afford to miss! The price is right, the food is right, and the congregation is even better. Daisy has a personality that you will never forget. She makes you feel comfortable, at home, and expects you to relax and have fun.

A full Two hour guided tour riding around the back lot on a 15 passenger electric cart. Super knowledgeable driver / tour guide (Zack) talks you through the various backlot sets and sound stages with video presentations on the monitors mounted in the cart. There are several stops where you can get off to experience and hear details about shows and movies that used these specific sets. Very interesting seeing the building facades and landscaped grounds and the history of the studio. Our tour included a snack / continental breakfast and a lunch at the Friends Central Perk cafe restaurant. Both offered a decent selection of food and drink items. In the morning they served juices, coffee, tea, water, chips, cookies, danish to munch on before the tour started. Caveat is you only have 15 minutes to relax and enjoy before leaving for the tour. Lunch break happened at the end of our two hour guided tour. The tour package lunch included a hot or cold entree, side dish and drink. We were surprised at the selection and quality of the food. Various hot and cold sandwiches, salads, chips and a full selection of hot or cold, large or small coffee drinks. Even some blended coffee drinks. We ordered the hot Cuban sandwich, Cobb salad and a large iced coffee latte drink. The Cuban was hot but a little bit soggy but still tasty. Cobb salad super fresh and healthy. Coffee drink was solid with creamy topping. After lunch you begin the self guided portion of the tour which is inside stage 48? Where the restaurant was located. Film technology and costumes on display with various interactive display to participate. Harry Potter, Batman, Superman and other blockbuster movies artwork, costumes and videos on display. So much to discover. Easily spent 2 hours in there. Surprisingly they told us we also had entry into the Superman Experience. We did not know this was part of the tour. It is not mentioned in the marketing online. Unfortunately we ran out of time and had to skip this. Too bad as I think it is super popular. Regardless the tour was unexpectedly very entertaining and enjoyable. Weather was great not too hot. Highly recommended for folks looking for a break from the theme parks. Totally different in a good way from Universal Studio tour.

    Hmmm I thnk I may have initially posted my LA reveiw on the San Francisco page. Oops…read more On April 19 I was invited to attend the YOU ART WHAT YOU EAT event (callmemochelle.com/2017/...). I enjoyed it so much I wanted to find out more about Avital Tours. I found out they've been featured on national magazines and television shows from CNN to Travel Channel, and rank high on Yelp and TripAdvisor. I also discovered that the company started off in San Francisco. They're a food tour company that's built by locals for locals. So you don't have to be a tourist to take a tour. In fact, most of the people in the event I was at are all LA locals, who work and live in Southern California. The Los Angeles tours are broken down into 3 tour versions: - To a tourist visiting LA, looking for more than touristy destinations - To a local who wants to learn more about our great city - To a company who wants to do team building I decided to select The Local, which is a 3 hour walking tour. looking They offer 4-course progressive prix-fixe dining experience that begins with a welcome drink and then visits 4 restaurants in 3 hours - two appetizers, one entree, and one dessert, with a sprinkling of culinary history and stories in between. There are 2 walking tours to choose from: - Downtown LA - Venice Beach They also added a Korea Town Food Tour which is limited to 12 people. Prices for the 3 hour tours are (16+ yrs): $79.00, or with alcohol (21+ yrs): $95.00. If you need a unique gift, they offer gift cards. It's quite an ideal event for a girls night, celebration, or even a group outing where you can re-discover Los Angeles as a local, hosted by a fellow local. Private events are available, with a 6 person minimum.

I don't want to ruin the surprise and reveal the spots we've visited but I can guarantee that you won't be disappointed. Some tips: - The entire tour took 3 hours. - Parking in the area is really tough - I recommend Uber. - Food allergies + restrictions can be accommodated.
