If you want to truly understand LA, you need to visit downtown. This is where it all began! Over 3 hours, you'll learn so much about LA and the downtown area. We'll discuss history, architecture, food, city planning, shopping, art, and more! Guests frequently walk away from the tour amazed by how much they underestimated downtown LA.
This tour focuses on a few major parts of DTLA. We will cover the Historic Core, Little Tokyo, the Civic Center, and Bunker Hill. These areas will give you a deeper understanding of how much variety there is in downtown. Every block in downtown has its own unique feel.
In Little Tokyo, you'll get to try traditional Japanese sweets from a family owned confectioner that has been around since 1903! This is the only tour in LA that visits this legendary institution.
See LA in a Day offers the best walking tours in LA, heavily researched and delivered by guides with a passion for sharing the city they call home. See you on the tour!

Chris was a fantastic tour guide! His knowledge of architecture and the history of Los Angeles was so informative. I learned so many interesting facts. I recommend this tour to anyone who loves to learn about Los Angeles; the real stuff. You can take this tour even if you are not a tourist. It was fun to learn more things about this city.

Chris was a fantastic tour guide and had tons of knowledge about some really interesting LA buildings and neighborhoods. I’m an LA local and not even I knew most of what he shared with my group. I highly recommend the tour to visitors and locals alike!

Our guide, Chris, was very friendly and knowledgeable and kept a good pace. I wondered if 3 hours would seem too long but the time went quickly and we were able to see a lot. I worked in downtown LA for 6 years back in the 90’s and never thought of it as a place to tour but it is. I would recommend this tour to locals, not just tourists.

Such an interesting tour that turned my perception of DTLA on its head, and showed that Los Angeles truly does have walkable pockets that are worth exploring. Chris’s stories about the buildings, their architects, workers, inhabitants and the land that they’re built on, made them come alive. Great way to see DTLA and spend a few hours learning about the city, whether you’re a tourist or a local!

Fantastic tour. Just the right length of time and sightseeing. Highly recommend if you want a quick glance of downtown LA (DTLA) highlighting the most beautiful buildings and eclectic areas. I do caution people that there are lots of stairs. Maybe not the most convenient for strollers or wheelchairs, but could be done.

We have taken dozens of tours around the world and Chris might be the best tour guide we ever have experienced. He took a somewhat challenging subject matter - Downtown LA - and made it extremely interesting to anyone who loves history, people, urban development, and culture. We highly highly recommend Chris and this tour to anyone remotely interested, I cannot imagine there is anyone better.
