This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to LA. Our guide, Brandon, was very knowledgeable and had the answer to all of our questions. He even took the time to show us some sights that weren’t a part of the tour (such as filming locations from American Horror Story and Blade Runner) purely because he knew we had an interest in them. If you find yourself in LA and have the time then I would definitely recommend taking this tour, the stories were engrossing and it was a great opportunity to see a different side of LA.

A very nice and informative tour of Downtown. I learned a lot and deepened my appreciation for the area.

Easy stroll around Downtown LA with Phil who informed our small group of the history and how LA was developed over the decades. Good value, recommend as you come away more knowledgeable

Super fun way to learn about DTLA for visitors and locals alike! We covered expected sites like the Cecil and Biltmore as well as less well-known areas. Our guide was highly knowledgeable and a great storyteller!

We were very lucky to have Phil as our guide - he was not only extremely knowledgeable about Los Angeles but interesting and entertaining as well. The two hours passed really quickly. We learned so much about buildings and history we would never have found out by walking around ourselves. Highly recommended. Ask for Phil.

Brandon was an awesome tour guide! He is a fantastic storyteller so each tale comes alive as it unfolds. He is entertaining and has gone above and beyond with his research for each story. He is also an amazing person who took the time to make sure everyone got back to where they need to be at the end of the tour so no one was stranded in an unfamiliar area. We’ve been on two tours already and will be back again soon for another!

Brandon was a great tour guide- knowledgeable and entertaining- and we had a blast! Would definitely recommend.

Thanks to our tour guide Brandon for a fascinating story. It is clear that he is very enthusiastic and tells interesting stories.

Awesome tour of LAs downtown area. Tour guide was very charismatic and had plenty insight in the history of the city. A must for anyone interested in getting a taste of some of the city's coolest hidden spots or any travellers concerned about being safe in the downtown area. Definitely ask the guide about other places to check out before or after the tour, as they know about other cool spots that are in walking distance

We had a very happy and interesting Historic Los Angeles walk tour with charming and most informative guide Phil. Would always recommend it.

We learned so many fun facts and excellent places to visit in downtown LA on this tour! Our cool guide Phil was terrific—truly one of the best we’ve EVER had (and we’ve been on many tours!). Phil’s knowledge base and his love of LA was evident, and he was able to follow our lead as far as pacing. He knew so many facts about areas we walked through and even other areas we walked by when we asked him questions. we look forward to many more tours with him when we visit LA! If you’re on the fence about whether to do this or not, we highly recommend you do it!

I worked for the City of L A for almost 3 decades and hesitantly planned this for my friend’s birthday. We learned so much and we’re pleasantly entertained! We parked in Pershing Sq and started the day at Bodega Louis and spent a few hours at the Last Book Store before the tor and it was a perfect day!The streets have been cleaned up a lot and we never felt unsafe or uncomfortable due to street conditions. Phil was great!

Phil was a terrific guide. His sincere interest in the city's history and it's architecture informs the whole tour. Our group was 5 in total and we enjoyed one another enough to have lunch (Phil included) at the end of our morning. We learned fun facts about the development of LA and enjoyed the 90 minutes much more than if we had just strolled the area without a guide. The walk is paced just right - certainly not strenuous. Highly recommend for all ages. One caveat: The area is not very wheelchair accessible, mostly because of the Central Library's multiple tiers of gardens and old sidewalks. Inquire directly if you need more information about accessibility.

The tour was very good and I doubt there could be a more informed guide than Phil. I've lived in the surrounding LA area for nearly 50 years but was not familiar with the downtown area. Many interesting structures with deep backgrounds. Pleasantly surprised that the streets and sidewalks were so clean. No homeless encampments in the tour area, very safe surroundings.

Phil was excellent!!! Tour was on time, at the right place, enlightening, historic and amuzing for all.
