Excellent tour for locals!
Sat, Sep 12  9:30 AM rdvergel Male 30-39 Local Other
When you go to other countries you take their tours to learn more about that region. This is an excellent tour for people who want to learn about their own backyard. I learned a lot and had a fun time tasting all the great food.

Discover L.A.!!
Fri, Sep 11  9:30 AM JaneOuweleen Female 50-59 Local Group of Friends
Diane is an amazing tour guide--extremely knowledgeable and enthusiatic about all the locations we visited. This tour would be a fun event for out-of-town guests and also for locals who want to learn more about their community. I had no idea there were so many great restaurants/bakeries/tea shops in the area.

Informative and Fun

I really enjoyed the Farmers Market and Third Street walking tour with Diane. I have lived in Los Angeles since 1991 and frequent the Farmers Market and yet I still learned a lot about its history. It was very personal and Diane is extremely well-informed and well-equiped to answer questions. For something fun and different, I highly recommend this tour, and it's great as something special to do with out of town guests.

Melting Pot Tours are Delicious and Fun!
Sun, Sep 6  10:30 AM judybob Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
My husband and I are foodies and we knew this was an activity for us. We were not disappointed! These tours are a wonderful value for your money. By the tour's end, we felt like we were area insider's! We sampled a huge variety of interesting and tasty food--we left with full tummys! No way could one get the information, history, and food samples on their own. The operators are passionate and enthusiastic. They did the work and we just went along for the walk and munching! It was a great way to spend a half day--our group never ran out of comments and discussion. We learned so much about food prep, fascinating ethnic tidbits, and background information in a very lively format. But, best of all we had the pure fun of "small tastings and bites". The tours couldn't have been more delish!

Excellent food and presentation

First of all kudos to our guide Trish who made this expirience very positive and memorable. We had a couple visiting us from Texas and thought that walking 3 hours from eatery to eatery would be a great CA expirience. We weren't wrong. Trish made it fun, the food was great and our guests left happy. I highly recommend, worth $50 for sure.

Melting Pot tasting tour is great for Foodies!
Sat, Sep 5  9:30 AM judybob Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
I would highly recommend this tour (we went on the Farmer's Market/3rd Street in LA tour as well as the Pasadena one). The leaders were passionate and enthusiastic. Not only did we taste a huge variety of food samples, but we learned many local facts--historical as well as tidbits of local interest. We had an easy rapport with the tour leaders; it was fun to pick their brains about local happenings and get recommendations for further "studies" of the area. The tour directors were quick to hone in to our needs and interests. They had done their homework well. Please consider these walking tours. The pace is leisurely and the food is delish!

Good food & fun day
Sat, Sep 5  9:30 AM JNeedham Female 50-59 Local Group of Friends
I did not know what to expect on this food tour, but it was more than I could have ever imagined. I learned a lot about the Farmers Market, its history, the history of the area and L.A. too. I also learned some food tips and a lot about all the restaurants we visited as well as those we did not visit. Our tour guide Diane was a delight and made us all feel welcome. She was very knowledgeable and took an interest in us as well. I would recommend this food tour to anyone who is new to L.A. as well as to locals who don't know much about this area. You'll be well fed (the food was delicious) and well entertained.

Would recommend
Sat, Sep 5  9:30 AM tiannetran Female 20-29 Local Couple on a Date
We had a fun time on this tour and would recommend to family and friends of all ages, local or not. Diane was very informative and friendly, the small groups were great, and the tour length is not too long and not too short. Price is fair and we enjoyed learning about other points of interest within the city. The only thing I would change about this tour is the fact that about half of the stops are pastries/sweets and I would take some out and replace it with other tastings as the sweets were getting overwhelming for both of us. Would recommend.

Great experience
Wed, Sep 2  9:30 AM lisanorris Female 40-49 Local Family With Children
Our group included an 80 year old and a 14 year old, and we all had a great time. Diane, our tour host, was entertaining and charming, and we learned a lot about the history of the Farmers Market and the various shop owners while sampling a wide range of delicious foods. This is definitely the best introduction to the Farmers Market and Third Street.

Very Informative and Very Personal
Wed, Sep 2  9:30 AM nnaylor628 Male 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
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.

Hot but wonderful
Sat, Aug 29  10:30 AM lauriecoggan Female 50-59 Local Group of Friends
I think we picked the hottest day of the year to take this tour. However, we still had a fantastic time. Lisa made the tour fun and the South Pasadena history was very interesting. I would highly recommend this tour for folks visiting or for LA residents.

Great time, even with the heat
Sat, Aug 29  9:30 AM cjrenner Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
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!
