We biked 8 miles! Our guide Jennifer was a teacher and boy was she good. We did a tour of downtown and learnt a lot about LAs hx. It was amazing!

Your bike tour begins at the iconic Grand Central Market and features the highlights of Downtown Los Angeles. We narrate the different eras of Los Angeles as we ride through Grand Park, to Broadway’s classic theaters, The Broad and MOCA Art Museums, Bradbury Building, Music Center, Disney Concert Hall, Union Station, and City Hall. We break at Olvera Street, with time to wander L.A.’s oldest neighborhood and marketplace. This tour visits the top 10 tourist destinations, and hidden gems, of DTLA. Our guides focus on history and cultural narration, with a little true crime and movie industry lore on an easy, 2.5 hour bike ride. We return to Grand Central Market in time for lunch. Taking our bike tour is the best way to see the many attractions of downtown, in a short period of time, without the hassle of parking and traffic. The bike ride is designed for casual bike riders, with much of the tour in bike lanes. If you want to see and learn a lot in a few hours this is the tour for you.

When planning this trip everyone said skip downtown, but it was my favorite day in LA. Checked off all our wish list site seeing: Grand Central Market, Disney Hall, Bradbury Bldg, Angel's Flight, Crypto Arena, and a lot more I wasn't aware of. My kids were whining about going in the morning, but ended up loving it. If you're doing downtown the guide/bike tour is a must for navigating, and honestly the best way to get around. Nice to get out of the car, and not have to think about driving for a few hours. Had a fun lunch in Grand Central Market after where everyone could get what they want. Well run tour with good bikes.
