Amazing! History-art-artists - The LA Art Walk was an incredible experience! Exploring the vibrant streets of the Arts District felt like stepping into an open-air gallery. It was exciting to see such a diverse range of murals, sculptures, and installations, each telling a unique story. Learning about the history of the district, from its industrial roots to its transformation into a creative hub, added depth to the art itself. The guides were knowledgeable and passionate, making the tour both fun and informative. It was amazing to witness firsthand how art continues to shape and inspire the community. Highly recommend!

Great tour - Neil was a terrific guide. The tour was very interesting and I learned quite a bit about the history of the area and the amazing murals. Our friends are locals and they found the tour equally fascinating.

Hats off to Robert and his fount of knowledge! - Toured the Arts District with Robert last week and was very impressed! Robert's knowledge of the area and the amount of research he had taken the time to do was evident each time we crossed a street or went around a corner. He had something to share about the long ago and current history of the Arts District and he made the tour very interesting and the two hours went by quickly. A very worthwhile way to spend an afternoon!

Super informative and interesting tour - I love comtemporary art and the street art scene and Robert was the perfect guide. We had a pretty much personalised tour and it was me and one other, Robert is so knowledgeable about the scene and took us to lots of wonderful places. I especially loved the story of the American hotel and at the end of the tour took Robert's advice to check out Seaton street (?) which had the most amazing murals.
