Tour description

We will begin with the history of California and the founding of Los Angeles in 1781. The city, known for its cultural diversity and sunny climate with more than 300 days of sunshine a year, stands out as a global epicenter of art, entertainment and commerce.

The first stop will be to explore the Walt Disney Concert Hall , a building designed by Frank Gehry, famous for its impressive architecture and acoustics, and home to the Los Angeles Philharmonic. You will continue to the gardens of the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) and the California Plaza , showcasing the city's dedication to art and the MOCA is one of the key points of the Los Angeles art scene.

Continue to Pershing Square , an urban park surrounded by buildings that reflect the economic and architectural development of the city. The tour also includes Angels Flight, the historic funicular that connects downtown to Bunker Hill , offering a unique perspective of the urban evolution of Los Angeles.

Finally, the route leads to Los Angeles City Hall , a symbol of the city's modernity and progress. The tour concludes at Placita Olvera , where the statues of Felipe de Neve and Carlos III are located, in honor of their fundamental roles in the founding and development of Los Angeles.
This guided tour offers an in-depth look at the city's history and culture, while also highlighting its continued importance as a global metropolis.
