Best Historical Tour I Have Ever Experienced! - I am so happy to write this review. This was one of the best tours I have ever been on, and I have traveled all over the world. The wealth of knowledge that Janae, the owner and operator of the tour, has is unmatched. Her understanding of historical facts and the various areas around Los Angeles that pertain to black excellence is unmatched at the college level. I learned so much in a short period. I recommend everyone take this trip. I have lived in Los Angeles for over twenty-two years and was not aware of the rich history of black, Latin, and Asian people. It was a wonderful history lesson, and to see the houses and organizations of notable black, brown, and Asian people was incredible. The price for such a unique and dedicated tour is a steal. I recommend and will bring all my friends and family who visit Los Angeles on this tour. She goes through various historical areas throughout Los Angeles. Not only do you get to see the rich entrepreneur community, but you also get to see civic leaders, athletes, actors and actresses, architects, historical churches where Martin Luther King visited, etc—highly recommended. You also get a goodie back with info about the top places visited. I am waiting for Janae to write a book about all the topics discussed on the tour. I know it will be a best seller!
