Local Guide

Overview

Have you ever wondered what makes Downtown Los Angeles a captivating blend of culture, history, and architecture? On this walking tour, I’ll guide you through hidden gems and iconic landmarks, sharing stories of the past, insights about the present, and questions about the city’s future. Whether you’re an international visitor, a local Angeleno, or a “Usonian” (as I like to say), you’ll gain a fresh perspective on DTLA. What to expect? - See DTLA Through Fresh Eyes: Explore with a Belgian guide offering a European perspective, honed by a decade in China and years in DTLA. - Dive Into Film and Architecture: Marvel at LA’s blend of Art Deco, Beaux-Arts, and Modernist design. - Engage in Real Conversations: Discuss urban design, politics, and how cities shape our lives. - Capture Instagram Gold: From the Bradbury Building to the Last Bookstore. - Walk in Iconic Footsteps: Hear stories of Chaplin, JFK, Michael Jackson, Johnny Depp, Taylor Swift, and Jisoo.

Excellent walking tour

Highly Recommended!

As a first-time traveler, it was fascinating to discover the stunning Art Deco and intricately detailed buildings throughout the area—many of which I would have never noticed on my own! Our guide provided in-depth explanations of the region's history and made the experience even more engaging by connecting the buildings to their appearances in films. It was an educational, enjoyable, and memorable experience. I highly recommend this tour!
