See some of the city’s most treasured museums and architectural jewels in Downtown LA while you learn about its rich history and culture. Angels Flight, The Bradbury Building, Walt Disney Concert Hall and the beautiful Union Station are among the many interesting sights you’ll see along this 2 hour walking tour.
There is no lunch break but you will get several great food recommendations during this tour.
It does not. We start at Pershing Square and end at Union Station. You are welcome to purchase a metro ticket (with the help of your guide) at the Union Station for your ride back, or you can continue your journey onward from there.
It is important to arrive at the tour starting location at least 10-15 minutes prior to the start time, as we do start the tour promptly. It would be unfair for the others if we need to wait for those that are late. We cannot guarantee you’ll be able to find your tour group if you are late.
You can cancel a tour up to 48 hours prior to your tour date without penalty and receive a full refund. Also prior to 48 hours of your tour date, you can reschedule your tour without penalty. Tour spots are limited.
We only cancel the tour during extreme weather conditions. Otherwise the tour goes on. Please check the weather report and be prepared.
Tips are always appreciated by our guides, but never expected. They should be given if you believe your guide did an outstanding job, and further, if you as an individual want to demonstrate your appreciation to the guide for that job well done.
