Phil took us to fascinating parts of downtown LA we would have zoomed past in a car. The tour was the perfect mix of history and architecture. Highly recommend.

Our guide, phil. Was really really terrific. I've done walking tours in Europe Latin America and Asia and this was one of the best. A great combination --Really insightful, humor and interesting conversation. I didn't want it to end after 2 hours .I'm a Los Angeles native who moved away long ago and I was amazed at how much I learned in 2 hours .

Phil was a fantastic guide in our walking tour of downtown LA! I’ve lived in the area for years, as well as one other guest, but the third was from NY. We all learned a lot and we got to go in the lobby of my two favorite buildings - the Fine Arts and Oviatt buildings. Fun way to spend the morning before we had a tasty lunch at Little Sister!
