My sister and I booked a last minute tour for the 2hr Downtown LA tour. It was an intimate tour of only 3 of us and Michael as our guide. Michael was fun, informative and friendly; a total asset to the team!!!!! It was a super hot day and Michael managed this well finding is shade at every stop. It was such a great way to appreciate and really understand the downtown area. We've even recommended it to our friends who live in LA!!!

We loved this tour! Michael, our excellent tour guide, explained so much about the history of Downtown and it's evolution from the 1800's to today as reflected in the architecture, old and new, of Downtown. I'm a native of L.A. and couldn't believe how much I didn't know! I highly recommend this tour!

Our tour guide Chris was punctual and very knowledgeable about the area and sights. I wish we would've had a chance to stop for gelato or freshments during the tour since that day was particularly warm.
