LOVED the tour! We have recently discovered tours as an option of things to do while we visit various cities, and Renee's tour of the Farmer's Market was so wonderful. We nibbled on various foods from savory to sweet and got to see so much and learn so much about the area and it's history. I can't wait to take... More

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves throughout the tour learning of the local history and tasting the food. We had just the right amount and variety of food and the tour was also just the right length and time. I would strongly recommend it not only to visitors but more so for locals.

We all had such a great time that we are already planning our next tour. Barbara was a great guide. She knew all the history of Old Town Pasadena. That really added to the whole experience, besides that she was fun and enthusiastic, which also added to the enjoyment. When the tour was done we tried to decide which stop... More

This food tour starts at Farmers Market and continues after a short bus trip up 3rd Street. It features good food, interesting venues and a historical overview of the area. Renee and Lisa were our personable guides. If you are a foodie and enjoy an easy walk, take this tour. Highlight of the tour was when Richard Simmons winked at... More

As I am fairly new to Pasadena, (just over a year) I wanted to really learn about where the great places to go in my own neighborhood were located. Barbara was not only very knowledgeable in this regard, she also shared a wealth of facts on the history of Pasadena. As I am in the hospitality business in Pasadena, I... More

First time I took a food tour and this experience was the best and will be the gauge for all others. Our tour guide, Barbara, was awesome on the Old Pasadena Tour. Best part was eating our way through Old town and learning history. Can't get any better. Good variety with a few twists of local crafters. If you have... More

We did the Farmers Market tour back in November, courtesy of my wife's American cousins: what a terrific experience! We were lucky to get a nice warm, sunny, day; our guide was fun, enthusiastic and knowledgeable, the venues visited were welcoming (well, it IS America), and the food delicious. Completely great with a wide range of different cuisines; we'll do... More

I was given this food tour (Latin Foods) for Christmas. We rode the Gold Line from South Pasadena...so easy... met the tour group at the China Town Station. We enjoyed every minute. Loved the tour guide, she was awesome, and loved that she gave us so much history of the area. The different food stops were each special in their... More
