The original Arts District bike tour allows you to see so much more of this under the radar, trendy neighborhood. Just past Little Tokyo, the Arts District, is full of galleries, tech-industry, nightlife, murals, history, architecture, shopping, breweries, and restaurants. Still an industrial district, but rapidly changing and full of surprises like low-riders, pop-ups and film shoots. We visit amazing murals, Hauser and Wirth Gallery, Sci-Arc, Bloom’s Square, Warner Brother’s Music, Art Share, La Kretz Innovation Campus, The American Hotel, some of L.A.’s best restaurants and many more surprising locations. You’ll hear about the origins, history, new development and current status of The Art’s District. Your guide will introduce you to the unique culture of street artists. We break at a fine art gallery, allowing participants to explore on their own and enjoy nearby cafes. Perfect for visitors looking for unique Los Angeles experiences.

Art District
Artists lofts hiding out among the industrial neighborhood full of emerging clubs, pop-ups and restaurants. We wind through the alley ways checking out graffiti writing, culture and pieces. You'll see a part of L.A. few locals even know about. Viator allows us to describe tours with known locations only-well these locations aren't known. We've discovered them through urban exploration by bike, the big bus tours won't be coming to this part of LA anytime soon.

5.00Had a wonderful afternoon cycling around the Arts District with Jennifer. We were able to see and experience some special parts of LA that would often be missed or overlooked. Jennifer was a fantastic guide and her deep connection with the tour was more than evident. So glad we ventured out. If you have the chance, don’t let the opportunity to pass you by.
Fun tour!

5.00We took a group of seventeen 11th grade students, and they had a blast! They saw a ton of murals, and got to ride over the 6th street bridge. It was a wonderful experience.
