When we did our first graffiti/mural tour back in 2010, we never dreamed we’d still be going strong 14 years later! Featured in the book 100 Things to do in LA Before You Die, ranked as one of the best street art tours in the world, and listed as a great adventure for locals and visitors alike in countless articles, our Downtown LA Arts District tour is a can’t miss journey into an often misunderstood part of the art world.

Your guides, all local graffiti and street artists themselves and longtime member of the Arts District Community, are eager to introduce you to this vibrant world. They will give understanding into technique and history, and share the work of their friends and fellow artists. 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.

The tour includes 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.

The tour starts with a wealth of information about urban art history and technique, as you view works from local masters and globally recognized talents.

In addition to the amazing art, the group will visit other iconic spots such as ArtShare, The American Hotel, The Container Yard, the former site of Al’s Bar and much more. Each of these locations filled with amazing art and history.

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 (your guide will be happy to give suggestions.)
