There’s a lot to see in Los Angeles – probably, nobody would disagree with that.

But how you plan your trip determines what your street views look like. You don’t want to be stuck in Glendale poking around somebody’s apartment complex, when you really want to be out in the Le Brea tar pits, or walking the star walk, or looking inside Hollywood…

Okay, that’s maybe a little hyperbolic, but the key is that you need experienced guides to really get the most out of your stay in one of the most vibrant cities in the U.S. L.A. is amazing – if you encounter it the right way. But like other metropolitan areas, things look profoundly different depending on where you are.

Simply put, if you don’t have good guidance, your street views can be disappointing. You wake up and leave the hotel, and wonder what all the hype is about, because everything looks the same. Maybe you’re just not in the right place.

At Another Side of Los Angeles Tours, we offer specialized unique tour group guides with a twist. We know all the secrets of the city, and the city of Angels has quite a few secrets, as we can tell you. We also have Segway tours so that you can zip around on two wheels, instead of walking your tired dogs up and down the street all day. We’re savvy on local historic preservation, and we’re a partner of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, so we can tell you a thing or two about Los Angelino’s history.

One thing that a lot of people also know about Los Angeles is that this city has unique transportation challenges. You don’t want to get stuck using the Metro system without a good understanding of how it works. It’s not like Manhattan, where you can get a station every few blocks. You might end up walking for quite a long time! Whether you’re trying to navigate Long Beach, Irvine, Pasadena or the San Fernando valley (and some of those places are quite a distance away from each other) let us take you there! Check out everything that we offer at Another Side of Los Angeles Tours. Get good guidance from a small, local tour group service that’s affiliated with The Los Angeles Concierge Association, The Beverly Hills Conference & Visitors Bureau, The Los Angeles Conservancy and The Los Angeles City Historical Society – because we know Los Angeles! We’ll ensure that your trip is one that you will remember fondly for a long time, and that you come back knowing a good bit about this city first-hand.
