Dianne was a wonderful, knowledgeable guide for this one of a kind walking tour. We met many of the food business owners and managers and sampled some great and unique foods. It was a fun and educational way to see and learn about the Farmer's Market and surrounding area. I would highly recommend it to both visitors and those living... more

Must do!

My husband and I enjoyed the Food Tour immensely. We were warmly greeted and our hostess, Diane, was very personable and knowledgeable. The length of 3 1/2 hours was perfect and we were able to try out 11 different kinds of ethnic foods. We were delighted by the owners of several places taking their time to tell us about their... more

My sister and I took this tour. Lisa, the tour guide, was very knowledgeable and fun. She took us around to some very yummy food tastings and told us about the architecture and history of Pasadena. So much I did not know! I have been to Pasadena before but never really ventured off of Colorado Blvd. The food tastings were... more

I only had 2 days in LA and I wanted to make my 2 days unforgettable. This tour definitely did it for me. While doing my research I read about the melting pot tours. Being a foodie myself, I just couldn't pass on this since it has such good reviews. My expectations of this tour were high... and it definitely... more

As a sole traveller I found the Melting Pot tour a great way to orient myself with the 3rd and Fairfax area. Diane is a wonderful tour guide and the food samples were yummy. The Red velvet cupcake was my favourite. Highly recommended! more

My husband surprised me with this tour on my birthday, 8/21/09 and it was wonderful! I had no idea what to expect because he had done all the research and knew what it was all about but, I think that made it fun for me as I am usually always the one planning and in control. :) Diane is such... more

My wife and I had just two days in LA. We had never been here before. The first day we booked a VIP Bus Tour of the city....it was fun. The second day, we booked this Melting Pot tour based on the reviews found in this website. We were VERY GLAD WE DID !! It was a 3 1/2 hour... more

As foodies, we knew we'd love the Melting Pot Tours and we weren't disappointed! My husband and I took the LA Farmer's Market/3rd Stree tour as well as the Pasadena Tour. We're just waiting for the company to add others (Chinatown, Santa Monica). It's the perfect combination of a little walking coupled with a delish variety of tastings. Plus, we... more

I participated in the Old Pasadena tour in September 2009. This apparently is a tour just added this summer but it did not feel that way. The guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. The length and pace of the tour was just right. The restaurants and merchants all seemed like old friends. The surprises were the incorporation of wonderful stories about... more
