Secret Food Tour of Venice Beach, Los Angeles w/ Private Tour Option

Tour guide was personable and knowledgeable. Neighborhood was very interesting and good for people watching. We particularly liked the Venice Canal neighborhood. Food was acceptable but not memorable. Ceviche was featured twice which we don't happen to like, but the guide tried to find an alternative each time; it seems like one time for this food would be adequate. No fresh fruit was featured - seems like the papaya sprinkled with red pepper we happened to see on the street might be an option. We were told at the beginning of the tour that it would be about 2 1/2 to 3 miles; walking was much much more than this and even though we're in relatively good shape for our age, this tour is not for most people close to 70. There wasn't enough sit-down time and not enough bathroom options either. One last observation: I particularly liked the Teddy's Red Tacos restaurant but would have preferred an actual taco to the open-face appetizer we tried.

Stephanie was a great guide. Informative & fun. Even took pictures of each group at a couple of stops. 6 food stops. Good food, even for our vegetarian daughter! Hearing about the history was interesting. Very enjoyable time! Our son has lived in the area for 2 years & was glad we took the tour. Highly recommend.

Sarah was awesome! So fun, and she had so much to share with us - both history and great food. We never would have found the places that we stopped at without this tour!
