Took this tour just as something to do with my in shape and athletic friend that didn’t involve hiking (so I wouldn’t pass out lol). It was a really nice paced bike ride looking at murals in the Arts District of Los Angeles. Jen, our guide, was excellent about her knowledge. Even when some random walking yahoo attempted to challenge her info, she corrected him politely and accurately. She was also very courteous and let our group stop for any pics we wanted to take. I highly recommend if you’re into the art scene or just want a cool bike ride.

We are a New Zealand family of four (twins aged 12) whom have recently toured Los Angeles and the west coast of Mexico. Having been to LA previously we were seeking to see and do something different away from the typical tourist 'traps'. Long story made short was that this tour was one of our highlights. Total value for $$$. The Arts District is awesome as is the art. Jen's commentary was excellent and gave us an increased understanding of the area, the history and loads other aspects. The biking itself was on flat terrain and very safe...even given the downtown LA streets. Don't pass this up...the tour is excellent and out only dissapointment was not having enough time to do another tour with Jen.
