Colorful alleys and secret thru-ways spice up our walk as we seek out spectacular ethnic eateries and sweet-stuff havens on Melting Pot Tours‘ historic Old Pasadena Tour. Enjoy all the fascinating stories behind the foods when you explore this historic district, once just a sunny haven of bountiful orange groves.

Whenever possible, we’ll be met and hosted by our special merchants who proudly share their incredible offerings with us. The tour concludes back at our original starting point. The food samples along the way are filling enough so that for most people lunch afterward is not necessary.

Ethnic Eateries

What's Not Included?

Parking at the starting point is not included. Rates for parking are 90 minutes free, $2 for each additional hour, $6 maximum per day. Gratuity to the tour leader is customary, especially if you had a great time & would like to recognize the tour guide for a job well done. A 15-20% tip is considered standard and is greatly appreciated!

We also highly recommend you bring a bottle of water with you, especially if it is a warm day.

Our tour guide Sabrina was great, we learned a lot about food and the history of Pasadena and, most importantly, ate so many yummy things! There were so many places we went to that I would have never tried by myself but am so glad I did! Would highly recommend.

When visiting LA, Old Pasadena doesn’t jump to mind first. Thanks to this Food Tour it should be one of your top 5 spots. Enjoy a nice variety of world tastes and products offered by friendly and diverse local business owners (they all have an interesting story and our guide knew them all!) [...]

Barbara from Melting Pot Tours is an amazing guide...learned so much from her about Old Pasadena. The different choices of ethnic restaurants was fabulous! Had a great day with Barbara! Highly recommend the tour!
