Great stroll through downtown LA- more than food! - My son and I had a great time on our tour. Darlene was so knowledgable. We not only got food, but some LA history and a special stop at the bookstore. My only advice would be not to double book yourself. We had early evening plans and the tour was running a bit behind (nice not to feel rushed!). That didn't work for us, as we needed to get back to the hotel before 3 (the tour was supposed to end at 2:30) so we missed the last two food stops.

Best food tour in LA - 17 hours ago New I own a food tour in Tucson, so I enjoy taking them in other cities. This is the only locally owned non franchise tour in LA, so obviously it’s the one I chose to support. This is also the original food tour in LA, owned and operated by the nicest couple. They have so much great food on this tour, there’s no way I could eat it all, and I have a big appetite! There were interesting tidbits of history, architecture, and artwork sprinkled in as well. The owner was the guide, and she had a great relationship with all of the places we stopped at (which includes the most amazing book store I’ve ever seen). I highly recommend this food tour. Research food tours before you sign up for one and make sure you support local. This would be a great team building or office party experience!

Fabulous Food Tour! - My husband and I treated visiting family members to a private downtown L.A. food tour with Sally, and the experience was a highlight of their week-long visit. Sally is an exceptional tour guide – fun, personable, extremely knowledgeable, and passionate regarding Los Angeles and the foods of our extremely diverse population. We booked the tour with Six Taste based on our own research, as well as recommendations from several friends, and we were absolutely delighted with our choice. I highly recommend this tour for incredible food, an extraordinary guide and a truly wonderful experience! (We’re already planning another Six Taste Tour.) Thank you, Sally!

10 out of 10 Going Again! - It was an amazing tour and we were able to discover/ learn about so many buildings and history in downtown. I've passed these streets my whole life and did not realize how much beauty and history we had right here at home. I plan to go to a couple more tours soon. Food was also amazing. I enjoyed it so much I forgot to take photos! thank you, Sally from the Valley.!!!!

The BEST! - Visiting L.A. from Georgia, we decided a food tour would be a great way to get to know the city a bit on our short trip. We were not disappointed!! Hethy was an AMAZING guide (& I have been on many food tours)! She was so warm, welcoming, and has an obvious a love for her hometown, the food, and the culture. We had wonderful food, visited several historic sites, and learned more about the area than I expected. I HIGHLY recommend a food tour with Six Taste. I can't wait to come back to try some of their others. It is no wonder Six Taste has excellent reviews.

An enjoyable day in Santa Monica - We had another great Six Taste Tour after having taking most of the tours offered in the past. Carolyn was a very organized, informative and helpful tour guide. We grew up in the Santa Monica area but we have not visited that much recently. It was fun to see all the changes and meet other Southern Californians on yesterday's tour. The food was varied and fun to try. Our favorites were the Italian pastas at Colapasta and the tacos at Tacos1986. I signed up for this tour to celebrate my husband's birthday and we will be taking the Koreatown Tour next month to celebrate mine. A very enjoyable day!

Discovering new cuisine in our own backyard - We took my parents on a tour of Persian Square in Westwood. We've LA natives and have lived in the area for many years but we learned about so many new and interesting places right in our backyard that we'd never been to before. We chose the Persian Square tour because it was the cuisine we knew the least about so it was a great learning experience and we're eager to go back to some of the locations to try other things on the menu. Our guide Sally was friendly, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to spend the afternoon with. Highly recommend this experience whether you're visiting the city or have lived here your whole life!

Fantastic Food Tour! - Amazing food tour of downtown LA with Six Taste! The food was excellent and so were the sights they take you to see. The pace was not rushed and we actually got to sit down and eat at all of the food tastings. Our guide was wonderful also. Highly recommended!

Great Food on an Interesting Walk - Our family had a private food tour in Santa Monica with "Sally from the Valley". She provided us with just enough history and insight to make it entertaining. The food was delicious and included vegetarian selections for one member of our group. The portions were much larger than I expected. We definitely didn't go home hungry. Our group of 7 was comprised of ages 16 to 86 and we all enjoyed the walk, the information and especially the food!
