We loved this tour! Off the beaten path (no walk of fame for us!). Our guide was so knowledgeable which is commendable, given the street art changes almost daily. I would do this every trip and highly recommend.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. It was a pleasure meeting you; keep an eye out for Sef murals back in Peru. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in L.A.

First off, rest assured that this is an easy bike ride. I was worried about biking downtown, but it was very do-able, even for my MIL, who is pretty new to biking. The tour itself was phenomenal. I came into it knowing nothing about LA’s art district, and I learned a ton. Jennifer not only knows about the art you’ll be seeing, she knows many of the crews and artists, as well as the history of the district. It truly felt like a docent tour. And, because the art changes pretty frequently, you could repeat the tour in a few months and see all new art.
