Fun outing for local or tourist - We planned a day trip to LA via the Metrolink train. The day before the tour, a text was sent out with location, guides name and number. Great communication! Finding the meet spot and guide (Neel) was super easy. Neel was full of energy, sharing many fun details about buildings, sites, and streets we were walking through and by. He would show us film shots or clips of the locations we stopped to view. Although there were many movies I had not seen, it was still fun to see how they were used. He is very knowledgeable about the film industry's use of LA streets and buildings. It is very evident that he enjoys leading the tours, being very personable with each person within the group. Our group was about 10, so by the end of the tour, each person had a chance to talk to him or ask any questions one-on-one. During the tour, he pointed out many locations that would fun to go back and visit when you have more time to enjoy (including many local food/drink spots). I already have a list started for my next downtown trip. The 2-hour tour was a perfect amount of time to get a good taste of an interesting part of downtown. I am ready for another of their tours.

Had a blast - This was a great walking tour which shows the different movie locations around downtown LA. The guide was great. She was like a library of information. Importantly she was very down to earth and friendly.

This time I was the only guest as well, so I got a customized tour, as I have seen some of this places in the architecture one. It was again a great tour with lots to see and Neal is very knowledgeable of the area and gave also good advices what to do, when coming back on your own. I highly recommend every downtown walking tour!</p>
