Private Taco Tasting and Film Locations Tour in Downtown LA

Overview
Join us on an afternoon tour of Downtown LA – tasting flavorful tacos, visiting filming locations, and learning about Hollywood. Starting in the birthplace of Los Angeles, at the El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument, you’ll hear about California’s Mexican origins dating back to the 1700s as your local guide leads you through downtown.

Naturally, you can’t talk about Mexican influence and not experience one of the country’s most famous culinary exports: the taco. You’ll get to try several tacos with your guide, as well as a couple of other delectable dishes.

In addition to Los Angeles’ history, you’ll also explore the beginnings of modern-day Hollywood. Your guide will fill you in on the locations and buildings you’ll pass by that have been part of movies, TV shows, and music videos for decades – you’re sure to recognize some of them!

When your tour comes to a close, you’ll have a new appreciation for the origins of the LA and of Hollywood, and, be full of tasty tacos!
