Phil was wonderful and he showed and told us things that we never knew. We are born and raised in Los Angeles.I would do it again with Phil the same tour

Excellent time touring with Phillip! Highly reccomend to anyone looking to learn a little about LA’s architectural history; whether you’re a tourist or have lived here your whole life.

The best tip I can give to someone is to get Phil as your guide, his knowledge, energy, and love for his work is unsurpassed. We should be paying doubt and tipping generously for his talent and knowledge.

Small sized tour of historic downtown LA spots you would never find / notice on your own. Phil was an excellent and knowledgeable guide.

Knowledgeable guide walks you through the heart of historic downtown Los Angeles and describes its many transformations.

The inside of the Bradbury Building was my favorite part. The guide was very knowledgeable and it's so fun to find "surprises" such as the inside of the Bradbury Building. Without a guide telling us about it, we would just walk by it. The guide also provided some suggestions for dinner, which was appreciated. Great Time!

Phil Rocks! We did the Old and New Downtown LA walking tour with our tour guide Phil and it was fantastic. Phil is extremely knowledgable about the history, architecture and cultures of LA. He is well researched and has great qualifications for this role. The tour was extremely informative and well worth the two hours at a reasonable price. This was one of many walking tours we have done in other cities and we highly recommend this one for the quality and experience.
