Wow!! Phil was our guide, who was outstanding.. Fascinating tour. We have been to LA many times and had never seen any of the special places we saw on our tour. Highly, highly recommended (and we are architecture tour snobs!)

Neel did an outstanding job sharing the history of DTLA. His use of an iPad showing old footage was great. Very knowledgeable and I would absolutely recommend it to others.

Awesome tour with Phil. He was informative and knowledgeable about the area. He answered every question we had ,by the way, since it was just my spouse and I the tour was a private one. We learned about the history, architecture and events that occurred in the past. Highly recommended
