Jenny was a great tour guide. She shared some really interesting information about Venice that I wasn’t aware of, even though I have lived in LA my whole life. The food was great, especially the fish tacos and it was fun to walk on the beach to see the painted murals, skateboarders and people from all walks of life. I definitely recommend this tour if you want to learn more about Venice and you enjoy sampling the local businesses.

What a fun way to experience Venice Beach. Jenny’s knowledge and enthusiasm in sharing the history and local perspective was awesome.

Save your money. Not worth the price.
Malecia_D, Dec 2023
Not a great experience. The tour guide was nice but didn’t seem knowledgeable about the area or restaurants. Her card declined twice and one of the restaurants refused to serve us. Due to her inexperience we ran over time. The food was good but definitely not worth the price. The best part of this tour was the scenery. I do not recommend and will be looking into requesting a refund.

A great tour!
Leah_W, Dec 2023
This was a really fun and educational experience! Denisse, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable about the Venice Beach area and its history. She also made accommodations for our group members who do not eat red meat or pork. The walk is easy (basically flat) and Denisse took us to some great eateries that we are eager to revisit in the future.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Thanks for the review, Leah! Your feedback is a testament to our team's commitment to providing excellent food tours in Los Angeles. We appreciate you joining us and we look forward to hosting you again soon!

Great Afternoon Spent
Frank_C, Dec 2023
We loved this food tour and our guide Jenny was great. She showed us some very cool art work that blended into the buildings/boardwalk. The canal with its’ multi-million dollar homes was an unexpected gem. Then there was the food- great burgers and awesome fish tacos were the highlights of the tour.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Thanks for the positive remarks, Frank! Your feedback inspires us to continue crafting memorable food tours that showcase the best of Venice. We look forward to welcoming you back on another Secret Food Tour adventure!
