All-Star Experience - This All-Star Guided Tour of Downtown LA was an incredible experience. We saw all the architectural details, learned the history of this area, and visited some cool spots. Our tour guide Paul knew his facts and information. He filled us in on all the details. I would recommend this tour to anyone. It’s a nice walk, nothing too strenuous, and we ended the tour with a pit stop at Grand Market for some delicious eats.

Learn about LA from the ground up, walking through the heart of Downtown. - My teen daughter and I very much enjoyed the Culture and Arts Tour of LA with Paul Lockwood just hours after we flew in from Cleveland. Paul was informative and engaging, and shared much insight into the history, civic, cultural, philathropic, and urban/architectural development of LA. The best way to learn about a city is to walk it. We gained greater perspective on LA and counterbalanced the time we spent in Hollywood and Beverly Hills. Favorite stops: The Last Bookstore, the Bradbury Building, the Grand Central Market, Angels Flight, and seeing the Walt Disney Concert Hall desgined by Frank Ghery, who also designed the Peter B. Lewis Building in Cleveland (Case Western Reserve University).

Awesome tour with Paul of Downtown Los Angeles! - Our tour guide Paul Norwood, made this event sooo much fun and very informative. We had a brief history of California while it was still a Territory of Mexico and called Alta California and learned of General Don Pio Pico the last governor of this territory. We visited the Bradbury Building, an architectural landmark and other beautifully designed structures nearby. We explored the Last Bookstore (amazing!) Grand Central Market (delicious) Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Music Pavilion and finally took the Angles Flight up to what used to be called Bunker Hill, experiencing stunning views of Downtown Los Angeles. What a fabulous day...thanks Paul!

Excellent tour to get to know DTLA - We joined this tour to get more insights on Angels Flight and we got so much more out of it. Paul was phenomenal! He shared the history of DTLA, the buildings and their architecture, the story of Grandma Mason and showed us the locations of some TV shows and movies. A couple more people were supposed to join but they didn’t show up and Paul gave me and my partner a private tour. Great walking tour and amazing guide!

Awesome Downtown LA Tour - Absolutely loved this walking tour of downtown LA with our guide, Paul, who was knowledgeable, friendly, engaging, and a great storyteller. The tour covered so much more than we expected, including history, architecture, arts, culture, how and why DTLA has and continues to evolve the way it has, and fascinating stories about many of the interesting local people (some celebrities, some finally gaining much deserved recognition, and other interesting characters) that have contributed to the rich history of DTLA. Highly recommended!
