A short distance from the capitol sits Medieval Times' stately Baltimore Castle, where you can gather with family and friends for an 11th century feast and live jousting tournament. Eat a delicious four-course meal of chicken, potatoes and more (vegetarian options available), using your hands, just like they did in medieval times. While you're enjoying your food, you'll be cheering for one of six noble knights who take to the arena on horseback, competing in jousts, hand-to-hand combat and displays of horsemanship as part of an exciting story set in medieval Spain. And the fun doesn't stop there. Medieval Times also features an excellent bar, dance floor, Hall of Arms displaying medieval artifacts and a medieval torture museum. Knighting ceremonies are also performed pre-show. Learn More

What a fun way to spend a Saturday morning! You'll learn about amazing vendors, hear fun stories and eat a ton (come hungry!) I highly recommend to both L.A. natives and visitors looking to learn more about the "melting pot" of L.A. culture and food.

I loved this tour. I have lived in LA for 10 years, and I had never really been to the Farmer's Market. It was a great tour because we tasted food from many great restaurants, learned a little bit of history about the area, and found places I never knew were there like the Cookbook Library. I would highly recommend this tour for tourists as well as Angelenos.

This was such a great event. I have lived in LA for 10 years and I this tour helped me to come across some great local finds that I knew nothing about. It wasn't just restaurants either. The two sisters who run it are fabulous and very knowledgeable about LA having grown up here. I also got in a nice walk and got to skip my cardio session. This is definitely worth doing even if you have lived here many years or you are just visiting.
