Discover the murals, street art, and graffiti of the Downtown Los Angeles Arts District on a guided walking tour. Explore the area with a local street artist and learn about the history, culture, and art of the district.
Meet your guide, a real artist and longtime member of the Arts District Community. Living and creating art in the area for decades, each one is an expert on the history, culture, art, and artists that made the Arts District an important part of the Los Angeles creative community for decades.
Start with a wealth of information about urban art history and technique, as you view works from local masters and globally recognized talents. See over 100 individual works of art, from building-sized murals to amazing hidden treasures that you would never find without a knowledgeable expert leading the way.
Your guides are all local street artists, taking you through their world, their own art, and the art of their crewmates, collaborators, friends (and even rivals.) Learn a bit of technique, a bit of history, all while viewing a wealth of amazing art…from the tiniest art tags and yarn bombs to building-sized murals by the world’s best artists.
In addition to the amazing art, visit other iconic spots such as ArtShare, The Container Yard, Arts District Co-op, The American Hotel, Joel Bloom’s Spot, and the former site of Al’s Bar. The tour ends back where it started, giving you a chance to browse the Arts District Co-Op or head to one of the many dining options in the area.

Sergio nasz przewodnik rewelacyjnie opowiada o sztuce ulicznej , pokazuje techniki , opowiada swoją historię życia, swoje dzieła . Jego pasja do sztuki i chęć podzielenia się nią , pełen szacunek. Mega plusem było zobaczyć nowy mural wykonany przez lokalna gwiazdę. Podobało mi się tez ze nie było problemu odpowiedzieć na pytania i spokojna wycieczka . Bardzo pozdrawiam i polecam z czystym sercem nie tylko fanów street artu .
The guide acted like is was an imposition to be there. He started off by saying don’t tell me your names. I’ll forget them. He didn’t answer questions when asked just said I’ll get around to that. We all felt like it was a therapy session for the guide. We heard all about how poor he was, how much money he made in his corporate job, his cat, his sick friend, his dead wife, how expensive it was to do a wall, etc. the art we say was basic and nothing like the incredible graffiti in Miami or Barcelona. Save your money and walk around the art district on your own.
He was 20 minutes late. Talked too much about himself. Did not have a broad perspective on the subject matter.
Sergio was a great guide. Knowledgeable and fun to be with.
Great
Very immersive tour with an actual graf artist, who is working continuously to make the place live and teaches this art. Very good explantions, artists presentations, and art decoding to make you understand and feel this art. I strongly recommend this tour and this guide !
Amazing and knowledgeable guide!
Die Tour war an sich ganz informativ. Wer aber richtige Graffiti Bilder sehen will die gibt es nur vereinzelt. Größtenteils hat uns der Guide Schriftzüge gezeigt.
Kevin was an excellent guide. As a fellow street artist Kevin, was very knowledgeable about the style, history, and the other artist. Definitely recommend the tour if you enjoy street art.
