On this private tour, you will explore the largely unknown architectural splendour of downtown Los Angeles, focusing on the buildings that shaped Art Deco and its Beaux‑Arts predecessor. As you move through the city, you will see glimmering marble columns and an art‑deco library that was saved from demolition. You will also encounter buildings designed to echo the Paris Exposition of 1925 and structures that recall Greek temples.
Along the way, you will wander through the jewellery district and pass one of LA’s old movie theatre companies, which still evokes the feeling of Old Hollywood. The tour will finish in Santee Alley, where your guide will take you through part of the market before parting company. Your guide will also be the best source of food advice for downtown, so you will have recommendations for where to go on a culinary adventure.
