I highly recommend this tour! Chris was awesome. So knowledgeable. Our group loved learning the history of LA River snd all the cool facts about some of the surrounding areas.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you for taking the tour and exploring the area around the LA River with me. It is such an interesting and underappreciated part of our city and its history.

Best-in-class tour guide

Chris is a best-in-class tour guide and the sites and material covered in this tour were magnificent. Seriously.

Had a great 3-hour...

Had a great 3-hour walking tour of Frogtown, Silver Lake and Echo Park section of Los Angeles. Chris was our guide and very knowledgeable in the areas he showed us. Lots of early LA development and the river history making it possible. Would definitely recommend this tour for a "hidden" perspective that's right out in the open!
