Los Angeles Arts District Bike Tour

Overview

Itinerary

1. (0h)

   The largest concentration of murals and street art in L.A. You'll learn about the artists, process and production of these museum worthy walls. Building this tour on Trip Advisor/Viator is hard, because software only allows us to choose from well-established locations. But this tour is unique; as the nature of street art is fluid, temporary, and every pop-up, mural and underground warehouse is not a "well-established location" but an of the moment, off the beaten path part of Los Angeles many "locals" do not even know about. You will not see a tourbus as you would at other LA top locations. You might see a few other tourists looking lost at the first few stops, but this bike tour goes deeper into the Arts District than vans, busses or walking tours can go. This neighborhood hugs the LA River, and if you've enjoyed the gritty views in productions like Grease, Repo Man, Sugar and Bosch, with the LA Skyline in the background, we ride these streets.

2. (0h)

   This area contains excellent examples of graffiti writing, Warner Brothers Music, and several star chef's restaurants. The eclectic mix of street art culture can not be found on any other tour.

3. (0h)

   Our tour takes an off-bike break here. Guests have a chance to explore this expansive gallery, art book store, and nearby cafes on their own.

4. Non-profit providing below market live work studios to keep artists in the Arts District

5. (0h)

   The birth place of the modern Arts District, this historic hotel has stories to tell. Built in 1905, covered in murals, and steeped in history long before artists took it over in the 1980's. Your guide will fill in the last 150 years of history of this historic neighborhood that reigned as a produce shipping hub from the 1800's into the beginning of the last century when LA was primarily citrus groves. For the past 40 years it has been the canvas of Unite to Ignite graffiti crew.

6. We ride through Little Tokyo to access the Arts District. Full of sushi, Anime and Ramen, when the gallery is closed we take our break stop here.

7. (0h)

   Located in Little Tokyo we stop by to see Museum of Contemporary Art and the Go For Broke Monument and explain how the history of Little Tokyo is entwined with the history of the Arts District and Los Angeles.

8. One of the many under the radar cool clubs in the Arts District.

9. (0h)

   One of several production studios in the Arts District. As we ride the surrounding streets, you might recognize them as B-reel from some of your favorite movies and shows. A lot of production and filming takes place in the Arts District. We might even see a shoot in progress as we often do.

10. (0h)

    One of several chef driven restaurants in the Arts District.

11. (0h)

    We are located at LA's 100 year old food hall, a destination in itself. Our home base has over 45 food vendors to choose from pre or post ride. All bike tours are round trip from DTLA's #1 destination we're proud to call home.
