My wife and I were the only two people on the tour so we were able to interact with Phil, our tour guide. He showed us many historic spots in DTLA, explained their history and patiently answered our questions. We learned a lot and really enjoyed the tour.

Our Tour Guide, Phillip, was so knowledgeable on current and historical facts regarding downtown LA. My impression has changed immensely from not really interested until now seeing and hearing all about different buildings, hotels and loved the market. Phillip was more than happy to answer any questions I had and have a few tips. I loved the advice he gave to visit inside of the Biltmore Hotel. Very impressive! I will certainly recommend this tour to anyone visiting LA. Thank you Phil!
