We came to LA with family and we decided we wanted to take this tour to learn more about the history of downtown LA. We had an amazing time and learned so much! Phil was our guide and he is beyond knowledgeable about everything that we saw and then some. You can tell he is passionate about history in general, but his enthusiasm to share his knowledge about the area was awesome! We definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn more about this historical place.

Stopped in LA for a walking tour before heading back home and this tour sounded interesting. No other people booked so we had a private tour with our guide Philip. He was a great source of knowledge about the area and the history. Learned so much about the area that we would have never known if we didn’t take this tour. I highly recommend!
Negative review.

They fact that they offered a refund and then refused to refund money. Seemed very deceptive and disappointing.
Response from Host , May 2022
This person was given a full refund as they were unable to attend.
If the person reached out directly to us or Viator the refund would have been processed without issue. However, the customer likely made the refund request to another sales agent and instead of reaching out directly to us, the tour operator, chose to post a negative review having never taken our tour.
We reached out to the customer privately. They received the refund once we knew the issue. This negative review did not impact our resolution. This is not a justified review, but sadly the customer chose to keep it up even when given all their money back.
Can a downtown survive?

Neel was a great guide, high energy while being approachable, and clearly very knowledgeable of the area and history. I would TOTALLY do a tour with Neel again.
The walking tour was a great work activity where people who have been working from home/virtually for the last two years got to see each other face to face, and have impromptu conversations as we walked from street to street.
Best way to see the city!...

Phil was amazing, knowledgeable and personable! Pace was just right. Loved seeing the historic buildings DTLA. Although COVID restrictions made it impossible to go into most areas, we could still peek thru windows to get a sense of the grandeur. We toured jewelry district, Bunker Hill. Old theaters, jewelry district, Pershing Square and more! Thank you.
Well worth the time!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
