LA downtown history artfully comes alive! - My tour was exciting because it blended history, culture, and art in a way that invited my curiosity. Eloi showed historical sites and brought them to life with colorful storytelling. He knows a rich amount of history and context, and this tour was a delight, along with his sense of humor. I appreciate the downtown city so much more after having g a tour with this excellent guide!

Enjoy this educational and entertaining tour - This is not just a tour of downtown LA, it is a history tour. It was great to not only see the buildings now, but he had pictures of them in their peak and in action. I would encourage anyone who wants to know anything about this area to take this tour . I definitely could take it again because he has a thirst for knowledge and I’m certain I will learn even more going a second time I give 5 stars

The Story Behind the Story of Downtown LA - I thoroughly enjoyed Eloi’s tour - he has a love for LA and a critical eye at the same time, making for a much more engaging tour than someone just rattling off facts about historical sites. He’s interested in the contradictions and the story-behind-the-story in Downtown L.A.’s architecture, and it was a lot of fun talking through these ideas together. This was easily the best walking tour I’ve taken in the U.S. and one of the better I’ve taken anywhere.

Excellent DTLA Tour! - So good! Eloi is such a great tour guide. I took my mom and sister in August and they loved him too. He really knows his stuff and you can tell he’s passionate about downtown LA. Even if you live in Los Angeles, you’ll learn something new on this tour. Highly, highly recommend.
