Los Angeles: Private Hollywood & Downtown Sightseeing Tour with a Local｜United States

After more than 13 years guiding travelers – first in Havana, Cuba, and now in Los Angeles – I've learned something simple: people aren't looking for a rigid itinerary or a history lesson. They want to feel free, while someone with good judgment makes sure everything flows smoothly. That's why I guide like this: spontaneous but organized, focused on the reality of the place you're visiting—its history, yes, but also how people really live here, with its difficulties and its virtues.

Classic Option (3.5 hours): We start on Hollywood Boulevard, touring the Walk of Fame, the exterior of Madame Tussauds, the TCL Chinese Theater, the Dolby Theater, and Ovation Hollywood, with a view of the iconic Hollywood Sign. We take the Metro to Downtown, where we walk Broadway past the Apple Tower Theatre, The Last Bookstore, the Bradbury Building, and the Central Market. We go up Angels Flight to Bunker Hill, and we finish in front of the Broad Museum, the Walt Disney Concert Hall, the Music Center, and City Hall.

Extended Option (5.5 hours): All of the above, plus La Placita Olvera and Union Station in Downtown, and ending the day at the Griffith Observatory — one of the best views of Los Angeles.

My name is Abdiel. I speak Spanish, English, French, and Italian. I'm not a historian, nor do I follow a script: I walk with you, show you the places, and tell you the stories that are worth telling. We talk about real life here, about the very diverse culture of the United States, from the perspective of an immigrant and a local at the same time. I'm always the tour guide — not a company with different guides rotating. It's my way of sharing the city that I now call home.
