Museum walks of DTLA - Wear your walkin shoes! - Tour of the Arts district of DTLA - You’ll meet outside of the Ahmanson, Mark Taper around, and Dororthy Chandeler (you don’t get to see inside of these buildings sadly), get a peek inside but mostly the views outside of the Disney Music Hall (lots of walking and stairs), then some hidden views around by the shortest tram and the grounds by the MOCA and new Music/Dance School (pretty cool), Then off to the Broad which was pretty impressive with a lot to see. The Tour guide is amazing and has a lot of knowledge of the area and will take his time with you as needed for the group to explain anything. Highly recommend. Wear your walking shoes!!

Sam was great! The tour... - Sam was great! The tour offers a nice combination of sightseeing and museum access. Worth it if you are looking to make the most of your time. If you choose the later your be aware of what time The Broad closes. If you want to spend more time there after the tour ends maybe book the earlier tour.

A walking tour of joy - Our guide Angelica is very professional and knowledgeable. Both of my husband and I learnt a lot about LA architecture and art. She also gave us a broad overview of the city and people. Strongly recommend this short walking tour .

Very Fun Tour! Relaxed, informative and well-paced - awesome time on this walking tour! group was small, and made it feel really personal. Our guide Paul was super knowledgeable and easygoing. Learned way more than expected and got to see some hidden spots around LA near the concert halls. best part was the balance, it was guided but still had room to explore on our own and we got to check out some cool museums and a gallery, before the guide dropped us off so we could keep the adventure going at the BROAD. Everything was well-planned, fun and a great way to experience the city - 10/10 definitely recommend :] Also shout out to D-Town Burger Bar <3

Uphold on Downtown - Good weather, small group, extremely well-informed and engaging guide, Angelica, who showed us a lot that even frequent visitors and LA natives never see, though most of that we saw is open to the public.

Friendly expert! - Angelica was the perfect tour guide. She has a degree in art history; I work in an art/architecture library and I still learned so much! She was so friendly and warm. Couldn’t have been better.

The perfect way to connect with DTLA’s Music, Art and Architectural spaces - I had taken this tour with a couple of my best friends, and Anjelica was a fantastic guide, weaving Downtown’s artistic, musical and architectural, story to us. The pacing of the tour was great, and we really appreciated how intentional Anjelica was with the order in which we saw everything. She’s extremely knowledgeable and personable offered clear explanations of what we were seeing and where we were going. One of the highlights for us was visiting a “secret spot” (my own words haha) within the grounds of the Walt Disney Concert Hall - I won’t give it away since it was such a great surprise! I’ve lived in Downtown for years, and yet I learned so much from her about the city I love so much. I walked away with a new found appreciation for Downtown, so thank you Anjelica! I would definitely take the tour again and think it’s perfect for friends and family visiting LA and could very well be a unique date option as well!

We can be more artistic in this place - I visited this place with my good friend. This was my first time visiting this place and for me I was very excited to visit an art museum that I had been dreaming of. There is a visiting fee for visitors that can be purchased online. I came when the children were on school holidays so it was quite full with visitors but still moderate, not too crowded. Visitors can take pictures in this place but must still keep their distance from the artwork so as not to damage it. We are not only presented with paintings but also installation artwork from artists which for me are very amazing.
