Overview

What makes the LA: Food + History + Design tour different? There are no cupcakes or amuse bouches – just "real" food that's authentic to Los Angeles and California, and real history.

Food: We start with a true LA dish – the French Dip sandwich. From there we'll take you to one of the best spots on Olvera Street for some great street tacos. Tour finishes at Grand Central Market, one of the top food destinations in the U.S.

History: Many of LA's oldest buildings are still standing and you’ll even go inside one them on this tour. Thought LA was just movie stars, beaches and Beverly Hills? Think again, we have a rich history going back to 1781.

Design: DTLA has some iconic and beautiful buildings – Union Station, City Hall and the Bradbury Building to name just three. On this tour you’ll experience and learn about them, as well as viewing some great public murals.

Join us on our LA food tour and TRULY experience the best of Los Angeles.
