This is a great tour, mostly thanks to my guide, Phil. Very easy registration, and the drive to downtown wasn’t bad. I even found parking for <$10 all day. DTLA sent a couple of texts to contact beforehand, Phil was right on time. I was the only guest, so it was two hours of personalized guidance, beginning with a solid history of LA and ending with recommendations for more to see on my own afterward (Biltmore Hotel & Intercontinental Hotel lobby for a panoramic view of the city. Again, Phil’s knowledge and personality made this tour great. Highly recommended!

We had a really small group of three people on the entire two (four with the guide). The guide was informative, and a professional that has been doing tours like this for years. She was able to answer questions and comment on many things outside of just what was on the tour. I don't travel often, nor take tours like this. Was surprised when my fellow tour guests provided a tip at the end, I didn't realize that was a thing. I felt bad for not doing the same, and while she did a great job, I am still of the opinion that I had paid for a service, and the service was delivered. End of transaction. There was never a guilt trip or any mention of a tip, so no issues there. Just be prepared for it. Would recommend this tour though.
