Went on the Downtown LA Architecture Walking Tour with guide Phil. What an educational and delightful experience. Met tour group at LA Central Library and preceded to walk the adjacent areas to learn and soak in the history of Los Angeles through its architectural design. Despite being a native of Los Angeles, I had never been to the Central Library. I was so impressed of his history and beauty tucked between the tall buildings. Also enjoyed the theater district with its nod to the past studios and their theaters. Increased my knowledge of Los Angeles architecture design and its early designers. Phil lead us through the streets with ease. Allowed time for pictures, questions and conversation. Phil also relayed current information on several sites. Highly recommend your to tourists and locals.

I had great time on this tour! Phil is a friendly and knowledgable guide and did a good job of covering a lot of ground. I learned some new things and enjoyed getting the lay of the land in DTLA.
