| My husband and I had a fabulous Saturday morning tour of Farmer's Market and then a stroll down Third Street walking toward the Beverly Center. We ate samples all along the way - coffee and pastries to start the tour, then on to gourmet olives, cheese and breads, Brazilian food, Chinese chicken salad, macaroon cookies, Japanese noodles and sushi and so much more. In the Farmer's Market we learned so much history that it makes us want to come back and try several of the restaurants and definitely want to shop at the meat market and produce stands. Our tour guide, Diane, made sure to include everyone in the tour and kept up riveted with her commentaries. The Cooks Book store was the perfect ending to a foodie tour. Can't recommend it enough - especially to locals who may not know much about the Farmer's Market and the surrounding neighborhood. | ||||||

| This was a great tour to take. My husband I absolutely enjoyed this tour on our visit to L.A. because not only did we get to know the restaurants in L.A. better, but also we got the opportunity to learn about its histories and owners. Additionally, we got a chance to eat throughout the entire tour!! It was great and we were definitely full even before we got midway through the tour. Definitely check this tour out!! It's great for locals and out of town tourists! | ||||||

| It was great fun to learn and eat at the same time (two of my favorite things!). There was a lot to remember for future visits and to visits to my local stores as well. Diane was a great leader and storyteller. | ||||||

| The food tasting tour was a perfect blend of learning about the area's history, tasting and learning about some wonderful foods, and hearing the stories of the different eatery owners. It was nice that our tour had a manageable group size of ten. Our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. While we tasted a nice variety of items at the Farmers Market, my one suggestion would be to include a taste of some of the market's fabulous produce. | ||||||

| My friend and I have done all of the standard LA tours when she has visited in the past and thought this would be a great way to learn about my neighborhood and the overwhelming variety at the Farmer's Market at 3rd and Fairfax. This tour is fantastic and provides a variety of international tastings that will leave you full by the end (actually mid-tour). It made many stops along 3rd Street as well that I have been wanting to try. At the end of the tour we decided to walk back to the Farmer's Market and took advantage of the vintage shopping along the way as well as stopping back into the places the we had sampled or that were mentioned along the tour, like Kiss My Bundt bakery. We bought baby bundts that we're a hit at our dinner party that night. | ||||||

Lovely way to spend a morning in LA

| Starting off the day at the Farmer's Market, followed by an amble through food shops and a book store on 3rd St is a fine way to spend a morning in LA. Diane was entertaining and an enthusiastic guide to the foodie delights along the way. The food offerings were varied and we dscovered some places we would probably have overlooked on our own tour through the market. We came back a couple of times during our stay in LA to shop at the places she took us to. The tour is very leisurely and not that much walking. The treats provided by the Cookbook Library were especially yummy. So nice of them! | ||||||

| A small group allowed us to hear and have interaction with Diane and the vendors, who provided a variety of generous samples which were greatly appreciated and enjoyed. As a certified meeting professional (CMP) details such as parking validation, water bottle, bus token and a shopping bag were well thought out professional touches. Introduction to the market and Fairfax area through Melting Pot Tours was an eye opener as a future destination. I'll spread the word about your tour. It was a great time! I look forward to returning. I appreciate Lisa's follow-up telephone CALLS to resolve the purchase of the ticket. Audrey Hong Maryland | ||||||

| We had a wonderful time on this culinary tour! Lisa and Diane, our guides and the owners of the company were friendly and knowledgeable. It's a great way to begin your exploration of the Los Angeles culinary scene. By the way, we had so many tastings that we didn't eat again for 24 hours. We would highly recommend it. | ||||||

| My 12 year old daughter and I were given tickets as a Christmas gift from her mother. We both enjoyed the morning immensely. The guide was so personable and informative. My daughter enjoyed her company as much as the adults on the tour. We both learned ao much and enjoyed the samplings. Our favorite was the Brazilian bar-b-que in the market. | ||||||

Great way to get to know the Farmers Market

| I treated myself to this walking tour as I was unfamiliar with that particular part of town. I am glad I did. A great way to get to know that area with wonderful,knowledgeable tour guides and plenty of sampling along the way and a chance to meet most of the store owners who provided us detailed information on their shops and their products. An unforgettable experience and one that I will do again with friends and family | ||||||

| The tour was very informative and we got to taste lots of different foods. Also, we learned about places that we previously didn't know about as well as some foods that we hadn't thought of trying. The tour guides were great! Really friendly and knew their stuff. We'd been to the Farmers Market many times before but this really introduced us to traders that we hadn't paid attention to, and we just didn't know about those wonderful places on Third Street. Thank you! | ||||||

| Lisa and Diane - the two guides - have done an outstanding job setting up their business. At every stop they knew the proprietors and we were given food samples to taste. We - and everyone - really enjoyed the tour we did starting at Farmers Market and walking 3rd Street. | ||||||

Great Food Tasting Tour

| I bought two tickets for this tour for my friends birthday. We went on this tour the day after New Years and we both really enjoyed this tour. I would highly reccomend it to other people and families. The two tour guides were two of the nicest people and I had a great time getting to know them. The farmers market was a lot of fun to walk around in and I really got to know the history of the area which was very interesting. I have been to the farmers market before and didn't know much of what was around but now I know more about it. When I go back to that area I will now go back to the shops and purchase some of the yummy foods I sampled on the tour! It was a good time and I really enjoyed it and I hope that if you get a chance to go on this tour you enjoy it as well! | ||||||
