I enjoyed this walking tour of Downtown Los Angeles. I was interested in the historical buildings and saw many of them. Our guide was very informative and interesting telling us many facts and stories about the buildings and sites we saw. He was enthusiastic and knowledgeable.

The walking tour was great. You get the full history and feel of the city. The architecture and stories behind the scenes were pointed out. Our guide, Cris is very nice and he knows what he is talking about. The tour is not hurried.

Being a foreigner in the USA, but in love with the History and the buildings of the historic core of DTLA, this tour has been absolutely a lovely experience. Julie, our guide, not only explained us all about the history of the buildings, but also she answered to all of our questions. She was very helpfull, nice and attentive. I deeply recommend this kind of tour, either for angelinos or for tourists, you will always get to learn a lot of new things about this fascinating city. Sebi.
