We wish to thank Summer for being friendly and knowledgeable while on our Food Tasting tour. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys food, excellent restaurants and a friendly tour guide. When the tour ended we were so full that dinner that evening was not needed. A big thank you to our tour guide, Summer. More

We started with a Thursday night tour of Old Town Pasadena and later a Saturday morning tour of Farmer's Market and Third Street in the Fairfax area. Our tour guides, Summer in Pasadena and Diane at Farmer's Market, were superb.....interesting, knowledgeable, fun.....couldn't have been better. It was a retirement celebration gift for my friend and it couldn't have worked out... More

I have been on two Melting Pot Food tours and both were superior. The selection of food we tried, the information we learned along the way, and the professionalism are unmatched. I also tried a competitor and it was unsatisfactory. Melting Pot sets the standard for others to live up to. Bravo! More

LOVE Melting Pot Food Tours!! Have been on both Farmers Market and Old Pasadena tours, and both are too much fun. Great variety of food, and so many stops! Love the olive oil store in Pasadena, and Farmers Market is so historical and charming. Look forward to more tours by Melting Pot Tours - highly recommended! More

Went on Melting Pot Food Tours' Farmers Market/3rd Street tour with several family members and had a great time. Our tour guide was so well prepared and knowledgeable about the food tastings, the places in the Market and the history of the neighborhood. Great local experience! More

It means much more to me knowing about the history of the restaurant/food outlet when there's a knowledgeable guide explaining it to you while you savor the food. I attended the Farmers Market/West 3rd Street tour and it's the best tour I've been in LA! No joke! Diane is a very nice and accommodating lady and she has been doing... More

We went to the Farmer's Market on Saturday, May 5th, to celebrate our friend's birthday. We were greeted warmly by Lisa, one of the owners, and began another wonderful, informative tour of the iconic Farmer's Market! The tastings were delicious, and Lisa is so knowledgable about all of the vendors, that she always tells you fun stories and makes your... More

Saturday, April 28m, 2012 we started our tour with "breakfast" at Home Girl resturant. Fabulous and it just go better. Our tour guide, Summer, was just terrific.
