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.

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 off the beaten path, in a creatives neighborhood locals don't even know about.
