🚶‍♂️ Learn local history, architecture, and culinary culture on a guided 3.5-hour walking tour through Downtown Los Angeles

Starting at the historic Union Station, this experience blends food, history, and city lore into one engaging afternoon. You’ll hit seven top-rated eateries across key neighborhoods like Chinatown, Little Tokyo, and Grand Central Market—sampling everything from LA-style tacos to Japanese fusion dishes you won’t find anywhere else. Along the way, uncover the deep roots of the city’s culinary scene and get a closer look at how immigration, old Hollywood, and urban evolution shaped Downtown LA’s food landscape.
This isn’t just about eating (though there’s plenty of that); it’s a chance to explore the city through its flavors and hidden stories. You’ll stop at iconic landmarks like the site of the first Academy Awards, ride past Bunker Hill, and learn why LA’s streetcar system vanished—and what that has to do with City Hall. With transportation between tasting stops and non-alcoholic drinks included, it’s a stress-free, flavor-packed tour that’s equal parts delicious and educational. Perfect for locals, visitors, and anyone who thinks they’ve already seen what LA has to offer.
