As someone who’s lived in five US states, and spent a couple of years in France, I’m more than just an international fugitive. It was living in Europe that provided me with the opportunity to travel to unique locales and appreciate the history, architecture, food and cultures of the world. I jumped into the travel and tourism industry in 2015, going on to lead tours throughout the western and northeastern United States, in addition to showcasing Southern California. I look forward to sharing the many highlights of Los Angeles with you.

Sharing knowledge, experiences and places with others is my passion!  An Angeleno for fourteen years and counting, I’m a former Park Ranger, curator and project manager for museums from the Grammys to Nixon, and an active travel director and guide. LA can be tough to take in – it’s vast, diverse and always changing – yet these very same characteristics make it an extremely compelling place to explore too. From the mountains to the sea, the stories are myriad, compelling and important. I’d be honored to dive into them with you!

Hi there! Maybe it’s the German in me, but I love the idea of experiencing a city through walking, cycling and taking public transport. LA feels like it’s a treasure chest filled with lots of hidden gems & fascinating stories. When I came here in 2013 I fell in love with LA’s rough beauty, its history and architecture, and the intensity of the light here, so I find it hugely exciting to share my passion for this amazing city. It would be my pleasure to be your host on a tour. Come join us on a special journey through Los Angeles!

Hi! Like many people you meet here I’m a transplant, moving to L.A. from the great state of Iowa in 2015. I got the travel bug when I was 19 years old, traveling to Italy with my best friend. Since that first excursion I’ve returned to Europe twice and backpacked around most of the continent, in addition to traveling extensively around the United States, Central and South America. Recently I visited Australia and New Zealand. I enjoy sharing my passion for travel and my love for Los Angeles with all who come on my tours.

I’m from the UK and majored in History at the University of London. Travel has always been one of my greatest passions and I lived in Germany, Spain and Australia, before moving to L.A. in 2008. Since then Los Angeles has simply become my home. I love its dynamism and multiculturalism, the many cultural offerings it has, the friendly nature of most people here and, of course, the beautiful weather. In many ways the reason for founding The Real Los Angeles Tours was to give visitors the chance to fall in love with L.A. like I did.

I was raised trilingual (English, Danish and German) in Denmark, leaving when I was 19 years old, curious to discover the world and wanting to cross multicultural bridges. My first destination was Los Angeles and I spent five super fun years here, before leaving on more globetrotting adventures. I lived in Australia, Singapore and several European countries, but the lure of L.A. drew me back in 2011, by which time I was ready to hang up my boots. I’m always eager to share my passion for the secret spots of the city I love and call home.

Hello there! I may look like a 14 year old, but I’ve been working in tourism for over a decade. I studied acting in Chicago and after college I needed a job, so I became a tour guide. I led deep dish pizza and cupcake tours, but before long I was writing and leading architecture, history and food tours of the windy city. Then, like many actors, I moved to L.A. When I got here I was blown away by the city. I walked the streets and read a ton of books and now I’d love to share the incredible history and architecture of Los Angeles with you!
