Neel is the most informative, knowledgeable guide. So many interesting facts and history of the city, which he put together for us alongside the way, due to my error in booking and turning up on day after was meant to be, he still honoured booking and went out of way to give us an hour tour. And even as a shortened and impromptu tour, it was still more than enough of the amazing sites, and so much info on city. He was patient and more than accomodating of our various 6 participants speed and lingering over various sites. Made sure he catered to everyone's interests and involved entire group. Fantastic and amazing tour, we all thoroughly enjoyed. Thankyou so much, we really appreciated the extra effort you went to for us, and talked about it for ages after. Awesome job!

I can not say enough about this tour! I have taken many walking tours, in many cities, and this one is of the best! Neil shared stories, interesting factoids, and related LA's evolution with all of our hometowns. I have an entirely new appreciation for the city and its rich history. Tours are affordable and informative, so be sure to do one when visiting LA! The downtown area can not be missed.

A totally great experience. Neal was charming and fun and knowledgeable. Two hours well spent and at a more than reasonable price. A great introduction to DTLA the acronym for Downtown Los Angeles that you'll see everywhere.
