This was a terrific tour! It's super easy to book a reservation, and you don't pay until you are at the tour. Our guide, Phil, was wonderful. He's knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. There were 7 of us and it was interesting for everyone. I have lived here over 45 years, and learned so much. We all thought it was fantastic and hope to do more of the tours they offer. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour for anyone living or visiting in Los Angeles county.

Excellent tour! Aaron was a great guide! Interesting and informative. Saw a variety of sites and learned a lot about local history. Even though it was hot, found shade in each location as we walked.

Great overview of the down town area, informative and very interesting. Our guide was great with offering advice on things to do and see around the area.
Recommend this tour for repeat visitors to see a different side of Los Angeles.
