History, Sights, & Food... A Fun Afternoon! - This tour ended up being a "private" tour because our little family was the only ones booked... Enjoyed spending the afternoon with Paul learning all about DTLA. Would recommend to anyone!

Do not miss this walking tour - Matt was a phenomenal, knowledgeable, warm and interesting guide. I learned so much I would have never known otherwise and there was so much more to the tour than just architecture. Highly, highly recommend for a brilliant way to delve into the history and spaces of downtown LA

Matt is amazing! - MATT IS AMAZING!! Only the 2 of us were on today's tour and Matt made the entire experience so personable! He talked about the area, history, buildings, art and of course, food. We ended at the market to finish walking with a great variety of food. Thank you, Matt!

It was great to learn the history behind the area, and to find some hidden gems I would never have seen otherwise. I'd recommend the tour to anyone visiting LA, or with an interest in history and architecture.

A great way to see downtown LA - Paul was superb. Really friendly funny and knowledgeable. We could have spent much longer with him! The only bit of feedback is the description is a little misleading - it's not really a food tour as described and the only opportunity for food is when the tour finishes at central market.
