    My husband and I loved this tour! Jannine was a phenomenal guide - very polite, personable and knowledgeable about all things LA, not just the food scene. I think we lucked out, as we were the only two on the tour but I know she would do equally as well with a group, maybe even better with more questions to feed off of. Food tour included Chinatown, Olvera Street (Mexican marketplace and location of the birthplace of LA), Little Tokyo, and Historic Downtown (including Grand Central Market). There were so many other unique highlights like a traditional tea service, the oldest house in LA, the restaurant from the movie Rush Hour, the establishment where the French Dip was invented and the gorgeous and historic Bradbury Building. These were all bonuses to us because we ate a ton of delicious and diverse food.

    Jannine was great. Really nice experience. She was flexible with stops the group wanted to make (precision espresso!) and was really knowledgeable of the area. I'd certainly do another trip with Culinary Backstreets and another with Jannine as well

    This was a great tour - as much history as delicious food and both were quite good. Ulysses, our guide, kept it interesting and paid attention to the three of us on the tour to make sure we were comfortable and well cared for. I’ve visited LA many times but I’ve never spent time Downtown and I am so glad this tour gave me the opportunity. We loved it.
