What To Expect

Walk Through LGBTQ+ History. Celebrate Community. Experience West Hollywood.

Step into the heart of West Hollywood’s LGBTQ+ legacy with an expert-guided walking tour. From historic activism sites to cultural hotspots, immerse yourself in the stories that have defined one of the most influential queer communities in the world.

West Hollywood has long been a beacon for the LGBTQ+ community—a place where activism, culture, and nightlife intersect. The Rainbow Road Walking Tour was created to preserve and celebrate the resilience, progress, and spirit of West Hollywood’s LGBTQ+ history.

We believe that history isn’t just found in museums—it’s written in the streets, the spaces where protests were fought, love stories unfolded, and milestones were achieved. By walking in the footsteps of activists, visionaries, and icons, you’ll uncover the untold stories behind the places that helped shape LGBTQ+ culture.
