| 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. |

| We learned a lot throught the personal interaction of the merchants Diane introduced us to----about the source of the produce, how it is best-prepared at home. Lots of time for questions and sampling. As a local, I was shown "insider" info I'd never seen. We also enjoyed a stroll down 3rd. Street to sample/learn from some of the excellent restaurants. Truly fun, entertaining, and educational! I'll bring my out-of town guests on this tour! |

| I spent two weeks in L.A. on vacation, and this tour ranks in the top three most memorable experiences. I arrived on the tour late due to getting mixed up with the bus system. Thanks to the cohesive duo of Diane and Lisa, I was able to find the tour group with no problems. Once I found them, I was immediately welcomed to the group. The tour itself was wonderful, as Diane provided the perspective of someone who truly loves what she does and where she lives. She talked not only about the food and establishments we were frequenting, but about nearby stores and other points of interests. She is certainly an insider to this corner of L.A., evidenced by her interactions with people and the degree of knowledge she holds.
The food was phenomenal - made sweeter by the others in the tour group. Having a small group provided the opportunity to get to know one another; I met someone who had the same career interests I do.
Following the tour, Diane was kind enough to spend a significant amount of time with me, given that I was late. We talked about our mutual interests, and it was uplifting to spend time with someone who loves life as much as she does. Overall, this tour fed not only my body, but my mind and soul. |

| This was truly one of the top highlights of our week long California excursion! Diane and Trish were absolutely fantastic, full of rich insights into the Market and the neighborhood, and food was stellar! It was a refreshing break from the typical L.A. touristy activities....definitely recommend this to all! |

| Enthusiastic tour leader. My 26-year-old daughter and her boyfriend had a great time with me and her father. We're local, and we'll be back to further enjoy the places we were introduced to. |

| My husband and I really enjoyed Diane and the food tour. We learned a lot about the history of and current Farmers Market, enjoyed all the tastes and got to know a small part of L.A. better. We'd definitely recommend the tour and take another one on a future trip to the area. |

| Loved our guide Diane! She was fabulous and extremely knowledgable. I live in Simi Valley and have never been to the Farmers Market, so this was such a treat for me. All the vendors were courteous and genuinely seemed excited about having us taste their products and hear about their establishments. I would thoroughly recommend this tasting tour to all.
My only draw back to the tasting, was the amount of carbs being tasted ie cookies, donuts, bread, candy etc.... The brazillian bbq was fantastic and the chinese chicken salad from Joans was to die for.
All in all a very, very nice tour....... |

| It's fun to find out more about your home town or one you visit a lot. If you like food this tour shows you all about some classic foods to find in LA. The tour is seamlessly set up so that you move easily from spot to spot and get just enough of a food sample to whet your appetite. |
