This tour was a great way to get more acquainted to Little Tokyo and the arts District. It showed us the things and places we’ve missed out on before when visiting; places I’ll definitely want to go back to! Mike was a very good tour guide and was nice to talk to since it was just me and my boyfriend. Overall I would say the experience was well worth it and a very nice walk in downtown.

This tour was so chill and fun. We hit up all the highlight of Little Tokyo and a couple little hidden spots. There was sooo much delicious food. It was all super fresh and hot. I was stuffed and happy by the end. My favorite stop was where we all went to the grocery and everyone had to go find something they haven’t tried before. It was hilarious watch each other try new things and then try to describe what they where eating. It rained a bit but it just made the city look more beautiful. Wear layers, LA can get colder than you think. Our tour guide Brooke was so nice and knew her way around really well.
