What a fun food tour of Hollywood! A very nice small group of 7 people. We started with an hour walking tour of significant sights around the Hollywood and Highland intersection, including the iconic Hollywood sign in the hills. So much Hollywood history including walking the entryway staircase to the Dolby Theater with all the Oscar winners of Pictures of the Year prominently placed on both sides of the walkway. She explained the stars on the walk of fame, and also the hand and footprints in front of Graumann's Chinese Theater. From there we hopped into Trish's van and had a 3 hour excursion of nearby neighborhood eating establishments. that only locals would know about Gourmet quesadillas, pizza, pastrami and coleslaw with a dill pickle, chocolates, and ice cream. Just enough for a good sampling of everything! I think food tours really give you a flavor of the culture and trends in new destinations, and this did just that so wonderfully. Trish was so friendly, energetic, knowledgeable, and so prepared for the unexpected. Applause, applause..... this is a great food tour.

Trish did an outstanding job of giving us a Hollywood experience rich in Tinseltown history and culinary delights. Our group of four consisted of my husband and I who live locally and two friends from Philadelphia. Although we have lived in the area for decades, we learned so much that we never knew about the Oscars and Hollywood history. Loved learning all of the scoops! The food was yummy and creatively presented from bacon to pizza to pastrami to chocolate to ice cream! Trish did a great service in introducing us to gem eateries in the area. Transportation was very comfortable. We absolutely recommend this tour for all locals and visitors!

I loved this tour, it had it ALL!!! You get a lot in one tour Trish told us the history of Hollywood, took us up the Boulevard to different famous places and then we got to experience tasting of local foods. While along the way to the tasting, we learned more about the area. She was very friendly and constantly included us in conversation so that we could feel comfortable with our tour companions. Not to be forgotten! Our bellies were full by the end of the tour.
Review by: DEBBIE S, January 2018
Even though my friends and I live in the Hollywood area; we thought taking a local tour would be fun. Trish and this tour did not disappoint. We all got to learn something new ; like baked eggs for one . And we enjoyed all the food completely. Would definitely recommend!

Great tour!! Trish was a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable of the area. We had fun with the other family that was on the tour with us and it felt like we had all been friends for a long time. It was so nice not to have to look at a menu and figure out what to eat, all the food was chosen for us. Well worth the money and time!!
Review by: Don S, August 2017
This was an amazing food tour. Small personal group! Great food stops including true traditional mexican taco's, trendy pizza awesome pizza!, and a classic deli with stops by world know chocolates and unique tastes from a Persian ice cream store. Trish goes out of her way personalize the tour and to make you feel like family. I would highly recommend this tour!!!! My only complaint would be Trish left us wanting more!
Review by: Sandra A, August 2017

Review by: Joanna A, June 2017
Trish is an exceptional guide. She is well prepared and very knowledgeable about Hollywood. The food is amazing especially the white pizza with truffle oil. I would highly recommend this tour to my friends and family. We were lucky to have the other awesome family to share the joy.

An excellent way to experience some of the best food in LA. Very knowledgable guide.
Review by: Frank B, May 2017
We lived in Hollywood in the late 70's and have returned many times over the years, but we still learned so much on this tour. We started with a walk around the Hollywood Walk of Fame, including the footprints in the Chinese Theater. Tricia then drove us around the Hollywood area in the nice minivan with more commentary. Along the way, we stopped at 5 eating establishments and tasted a bacon/cheese quesadilla, tomato soup, pizzas, pastrami, coleslaw ice cream, chocolate, and probably a few other things. All were delicious and we plan to return to several of the places when we are next in the area.

Trisha was great! She is very knwledgeable about the history of Hollywood. My husband and I enjoyed the tastings and sightseeing.
Review by: Amy K, April 2017
Trisha was amazing! Incredibly knowledgeable, articulate and so much fun to be with. She has found some delicious out of the way spots to eat at in neighborhoods that we would not have otherwise seen. Plenty of food but not too much, a terrific introduction to Hollywood history and fun facts and pop culture made the trip enjoyable for all. We would highly recommend this tour.
Review by: Vicki D, March 2017
Trish is GREAT! She provided interesting tidbits that we never would have known had we toured on our own and made it fun! She was always offering water, had a great personality and truly seemed to enjoy what she does! Just know that the first half of the tour is strictly history/sightseeing which I loved, and it's not all about the food. Although when you do get to the food portion, you will love it all! The pizza was better than any pizza I ever had on a Chicago pizza tour!
Review by: AARON E, March 2017
This was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon! I took my mom and sister, and they are true foodies they had a wonderful time. Trish is a kindly and informative guide and because of the limited group size, you will receive lots of personalized attention. The food stops on our tour were all delicious and genuinely nice places to visit. Greenblatt's Deli was a personal favorite, as was the Persian Ice Cream afterwards. In addition to the food, the first part of our tour was spent seeing sites in Hollywood highly informative. Can't recommend this tour enough!
Review by: Thomas P, March 2017
My brother and I did the Best of Hollywood Food Tour with Trish, and she was fantastic ... as was the whole tour. It is very personalized and we enjoyed both the 'traditional' Hollywood facts and tidbits as well as the tasty food tour portion of the event. The small group tour size made it very enjoyable and Trish was very open to questions. She is extremely knowledgeable and personable. Tons of fun. Highly recommend. Much better than the larger and more 'cookie cutter' type tours.
Review by: brigev, February 2017
Trish, our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and took us to taste a variety of savory and sweet foods. Really a fun day!
Review by: Bruce P, October 2016
Our tour was outstanding. the tour guide gave us great insight and shared her ideas and thoughts. The time flew by. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who has an interest in food and Hollywood. While we have been on several great food tours across the country, this was the best. Everyone seemed to know our tour guide Trish.
Review by: Therese M, September 2016
Trish was amazing.. So knowledgable without being boring. Perfect balance of fun facts and pertinent history. Great Sightseeing and yummy food. My friend had never done a Foodie Tour and she could not believe that we got so much delicious food and sightseeing with out ticket. This is a must do for all visitors and locals too!!
Review by: Rachelle K, September 2016
I have told everyone to do this tour! It was a small group, our guide was so knowledgeable and the food was amazing! We went to places and tried things that we would have never gotten on our own. Highly recommend this tour! I would do it again!

We really loved this tour - our guide, Trish, started with some neat history of Hollywood, and then took us to some fantastic restaurants with delicious food that also helped her tell a bit of Hollywood's story. It was the tour that kept on giving - in addition - she had some great restaurant recommendations that we followed up on afterwards : I would definitely recommend this tour.

So pleased I booked this tour - not only was it a food tour but also a sightseeing tour as well. Trish was absolutely awesome and so passionate about the food and ensuring that each of us had a wonderful experience. She has a great relationship with the food operators and we were treated like VIP's. I enjoyed every food stop and truly worth the money and a wonderful experience. Thank you very much Trish and I'll be recommending this tour to any friends and family heading to LA.

Review by: Leeann, December 2014
This tour was great! Maureen and Luis were amazing. I personally loved the first Restaurant which is Mexican and usually I wouldn't choose Mexican as a first choice! Thanks for the awesome tour around Hollywood too and I would recommend this if your not already doing a Hollywood tour!

Maureen was an excellent tour guide most informative not only about the food stops but also the hollywood surrounds. It was a fun group with great food stops we would highly recommend the tour.
Review by: Martin F, May 2014
We really enjoyed this food tour. Half walking/half via mini bus. The guide was really pleasant and provided lots of info, not just about the food stops but also the sights we passed along the way -- we even hit some unexpected traffic on Sunsent Blvd and she was able to keep everyone interested in the sights making even the traffic worth while. Oh, and the food was great too -- chocolates, pastrami and some finer dining!!
Review by: cindy, April 2014
I booked this tour for myself, my son, and his girlfriend while visiting them in LA. It was so much more than what I had thought!!! The food was wonderful, great variety, quality, and quanity. Our guide Trish was perfect. I have been to Hollywood many times, but she told stories, and showed us things, I never knew before. Our driver AJ also made the day quite fun!!! What a great value and a fabulous day with perfect memories :)
