| The Melting Pots Tour is a wonderful experience that take you through parts of Los Angeles that many residents do not even know about. On this journey you will find countless gems and be introduced to all of them in the friendliest fashion. Diane and Lisa have put together what I would call one of the most personal and one for the must see list whether you are just visiting or hail from LA. At the end, you will not be able to thank them enough and will be begging for more. |

| The Melting Pot Food tours are a unique thing to do for a day out or a vacation. All four of us really enjoyed learning about the history and merchants in the Farmers Market. Diane is truly knowledgeable and has forged great relationships with the merchants. We felt like we got to taste some of the best food from the best food booths and restaurants! |

| We love seeing farmers markets in different parts of the country and world and the tour certainly made our experience that much better. Diane was a fabulous hostess and made the day very enjoyable.
There was enough for us to skip lunch and have a great time as well! |

| An experience I cannot recommend enough.
My wife and I left the tour with not just a better understanding of the food in the area, but a much greater understanding of the city's history and an insight of a 'real' LA.
On top of the fantastic tour, the other members of our group were a mix of tourists and Angelenos, they gave a further depth to the entire experience.
My wife and I often shy away from tours, finding them touristy and restrictive. This tour broke all those stereotypes.
Fantastic! |

| We thought we could do something like this on our own, but we were wrong. There is so much info about the Farmers Market and the various places visited that it is really worthwhile. If you are a local and enjoy trying new places, this is for you. If we lived in the area, we could stay busy for a while trying all of them again. The food sampled during the tour is so varied (& tasty) that there is something for everyone to enjoy. |

| I did 5 short tours during my trip to the United States. This was the first and the best one. Nothing else came remotely close. Diane was genuinely friendly (there is a huge difference between those who are nice and those who just try to be), the tour was so well thought out, there were so many food stops and each were interesting and tasty. Even though I visit the farmer's market every time I come to LA, I still learned alot and got to try things I hadn't before. I had never ventured to 3rd street and even if I did I probably wouldn't have noticed the little gems of the stores that we stopped at. The street seems dull and mundane but it isn't. It was wonderful and definitely worth a visit after the end of the tour (which I did). This tour was incredible value for money and my being a vegetarian was well catered for (not the case with all the tours I did). This tour is a must (sounds crazy but it's true) for anyone coming to visit LA. |

| Should you find yourself in LA, this is a unique experience. Tour covers not only the Farmer's Market but also Third Street. You visit a number of stands & restaurants, enjoying their fare. Diane did a great job detailing the history of the sites visited, as well as today's food culture. |

| I took my 2 young teenage kids with me and we had a blast. We are from the area but still learned alot and met some great people from all over. It doesn't matter whether or not you are a "foodie" ... you will enjoy this tour and learn things. The guide was wonderful... personable and helpful. I really would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to do something different. |
