Thought there isn’t much history in L.A.? Think again! There’s a lot of history in L.A. and one of the best things about it is you can still see it. Many of Los Angeles’ oldest buildings, from when it was the wildest of the Wild West, are still standing and you’ll go inside them on this tour. We’ll tell how and why the tiny farming town appeared on the far reaches of the Spanish Empire towards the end of the eighteenth century. Then we’ll explain how it took off in the 1870’s, before bringing you up to date with modern L.A. classics like the Broad Museum and the Walt Disney Concert Hall. We’ll also stop at three really cool, interesting, historical places to get some great Californian food on this tour.

Our tours can sell out. If you cannot make a booking because of that email us at [email protected], telling us when you want to do the tour and how many guests are in your party, and if we can squeeze you in we’ll let you know.
