Q&A

Q: Is this tour suitable for kids? What's the age limit?

A: Yes, the tour is suitable for older kids, but it might not hold the attention of younger ones. Generally, ages 10 and up would be best. Just keep in mind that it’s a walking tour, so they should be comfortable walking for 2.5 hours. Also, check if they’d enjoy the history aspect!

Q: What should I wear for this tour? Any specific recommendations?

A: Comfortable shoes are a must since you'll be walking a lot! I'd recommend lightweight clothing, especially if it’s warm, and maybe a hat and sunscreen. Since you’re exploring downtown LA, layers can help since it cools down in the evening. Don’t forget to bring a water bottle!

Q: What happens if it rains? Is this tour rain or shine?

A: The tour runs rain or shine! They usually have umbrellas available for guests, but it’s best to check the weather ahead of time. If the rain is really heavy, you can contact them to see if they’ll reschedule. Just come prepared for the conditions!

Just did the Explore the Heart of Black Los Angeles tour—AMAZING!

I went on the Black LA walking tour last weekend and it was such a rich experience. Starting from Union Station, I got to learn about incredible figures like Biddy Mason and see places I didn't even know existed! The guide was super knowledgeable, and the stop at Hilltop Cafe for some local flavors was a highlight. I got a tote bag too! Def recommend this for anyone wanting to understand the city's history more deeply.

Thinking about gifting the Black LA tour—any thoughts?

I'm considering this walking tour as a gift for a friend who loves history and culture, but I’m unsure if it would be engaging enough for them. Also, is there anything specific I should know before I buy the tickets? Would love to hear from anyone who has done it!
