A very informative and enjoyable tour with our guide, Phil! He was incredibly patient and took the time to show us many aspects of downtown LA, sharing fascinating details along the way. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience truly memorable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting DTLA!

Our trip was enlightening about LA. I saw and learned about things that I would not have seen if I had been touring on my own. Phil was very knowledgeable and patient. He was considerate to all the participants and genuinely shared his love for the city. Highly recommend.
