Our tour was AMAZING! Janine was fun, helpful, extremely knowledgeable and our day couldn't of been better. Her idea of showcasing how different cultures are mixed in the Chinese and Japanese neighborhoods was fascinating. And so much wonderful food to eat and people to meet. I am afraid we disappointed Janine bit because we couldn't eat at the last stop She is a true asset for Culinary Backstreets. Tom G

Fantastic tour of Chinatown, Japantown, Olvera Road and some Korean and Vietnamese food. Food was excellent and more than we could eat. Great guide.
