LA's Art Deco & Beaux Art Architecture: Private Walking Tour

Immerse yourself in the largely unknown architectural splendour of downtown Los Angeles, and explore some of the most incredible buildings of geometric patterns, brilliant colours, and luxurious materials that characterised Art Deco and its predecessor, Beaux Art. On your private tour, you will see glimmering marble columns, an art-deco library saved from demolition, Greek temples, and buildings designed to emulate the Paris exposition of 1925. You’ll wander through the jewellery district and see one of LA’s old movie theatre companies, which still evokes the feelings of ‘Old Hollywood’. Your tour will end in Santee Alley, where your guide will take you through a bit of the market before parting with you. Your guide will be the best source of food advice for downtown, so be sure not to miss out on all the spots where you can go on a culinary adventure.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this private walking tour?

A: There isn't a strict age limit for the tour, but it’s really best suited for adults and older kids who can handle a good amount of walking. Younger kids might get bored or tired, but I’ve seen families bring teens who really enjoyed learning about the architecture. Just keep in mind that it’s a lot of standing and walking!

Q: Can you customize the tour route or focus on specific buildings?

A: Yes! The tours are pretty customizable. If there are specific buildings or styles you’re interested in, just let your guide know beforehand, and they’ll try to accommodate your requests. They’re super flexible and want to make sure you have an awesome experience!

Q: What should we wear for the walking tour? Is it casual?

A: Casual and comfortable is the way to go! You’ll be walking a lot, so wear shoes you can get around in easily. Layering is a good idea too, since LA weather can be unpredictable. And don't forget sunscreen if it’s a sunny day!

Thinking of gifting the LA Art Deco tour—any feedback?

Hey everyone! I’m considering getting the LA's Art Deco & Beaux Art Architecture walking tour for my sister’s birthday. She loves architecture and exploring the city. Has anyone done this tour? What was your experience? I’m curious about the guide and if it really dives into the history of the buildings.

Just booked the Art Deco tour! Any tips?

Super excited! I just booked the private walking tour in LA for my friends and me. We’re planning to take tons of pictures and explore the Santee Alley at the end. Any tips on what to check out after the tour? Also, how was the food advice from the guide? Worth trying?
