    Los Angeles: Downtown L.A. Classics Private Tour

    Powered by Viator

    Los Angeles, CA

    With more than 10 years of guiding travelers — first in Havana, Cuba, and now in Los Angeles — I learned that what people are really looking for on a tour is not encyclopedia data : it’s understanding a city, connecting with its culture and really enjoying it. My tours have no timed script or lines of tourists following a little flag. These are private, self-paced tours where we will walk through Downtown’s most iconic places while telling you the stories that don’t appear in any guidebooks — those that only someone who has lived through two very different cultures can tell. I speak Spanish, English, French and Italian. No barriers, no taboo topics — ask what you want. A good debate is always welcome. This is not surface tourism. It’s knowing Los Angeles through the eyes of someone who came looking for their American dream and found a fascinating city that changes every day. Of course: we walk a lot and energetically. Bring comfortable shoes and want to enjoy!
