Go back in time and explore the real Los Angeles and its most important Historic Districts. These gems were built when LA had less than 200,000 inhabitants and today they are hidden inside this megalopolis of 15 millions. We will go from Angelino Heights, with its best example of pre-1900 Victorian houses; to Windsor Square, designed to be the most exclusive LA neighborhood with the largest lots, and Beaux Arts and Craftsman style homes; to Hancock Park, the dream of one of the most famous LA Mayors, known for its two-story, Palatian period revival homes—Tudor, Gothic Revival, Spanish Colonial, American Colonial, Mediterranean. We will stop also the world famous La Brea Tar Pits, with its incredible fossils collection of extinct mega-fauna of the late Pleistocene. Museum not included. The tour will end in South Carthay, a neighborhood developed in the 1930's by the Greek developer Spyros with its Spanish Colonial Revival houses, stained glass windows, tiles, and shower glass etching.

Q&A

Q: Is there any age limit for this tour? Can kids join?

A: There's no strict age limit for the Half-Day Los Angeles Historic Districts Tour. Kids are more than welcome! It's a great way for families to learn about LA's history. Just keep in mind that some of the walking may not be suitable for very young children, so you might want to bring a stroller for little ones.

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

A: Dress comfortably since you'll be walking around different historic neighborhoods. I recommend wearing breathable clothing and good walking shoes. A hat and sunscreen are a must, especially if it's sunny! It can get a bit warm in LA, but bring a light jacket if you're going in the cooler months.

Q: What if the weather's bad on the day of our tour? Can we reschedule?

A: If the weather doesn't cooperate, the tour can be rescheduled! Just contact the provider a day before to discuss it with them. They’re usually pretty understanding. It's also smart to check the forecast beforehand and plan accordingly.

I went on this tour last week, and it was fantastic! We explored Angelino Heights and saw these beautiful Victorian homes. The guide was super knowledgeable and made everything come alive. The stop at La Brea Tar Pits was a cool bonus too! I think it's a great gift for anyone who loves history. Just be ready for a bit of walking, but it's all enjoyable. Highly recommend!
