While not as big as neighboring LA, Long Beach offers a number of amazing things to do and see. This tour will walk you through some of the most popular parts of Long Beach, and along the way you’ll learn about everything from history to local nightlife.
The tour starts at Shoreline Park, near the mouth of the LA River. During the tour, you’ll learn how this historic waterway shaped (and reshaped) LA history.
The Port of Long Beach is the busiest port in America. You’ll hear all about it as you pass the aquarium and hotspots to shop near the waterfront.
Before you know it, you’re in downtown and seeing historic buildings and cool restaurants everywhere. The thriving art scene here means there’s always a vibrant mural for that perfect photo or selfie.
After exploring downtown, you’ll head back toward the Pacific to see a bit more of the waterfront and hear some bone-chilling stories about the notorious Queen Mary, which we’ll pass on the way.
Before you leave, your guide is happy to share more tips about the best things to see and do if you have more time in Long Beach.
