Overview

We ride where the busses, vans and walking tours can't go! The Arts District bike tour allows you to see much more of this underground, 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, rapidly changing and full of surprises like low-riders, pop-ups and film shoots. We visit instagram worthy murals, Hauser and Wirth Gallery, the Sixth Street Bridge, Bloom’s Square, Warner Brother’s Music, Art Share, The American Hotel, some of L.A.’s best restaurants and many more surprising locations. You’ll hear 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. A break at a fine art gallery, allows participants to explore on their own and enjoy nearby cafes. Perfect for visitors looking for unique Los Angeles experiences.
