Insightful Tour on the Rich - not often told - History of South LA - What an amazing tour this is, led by a passionate historian with a deep love for South LA. Janae - our tour leader - was exceptionally charismatic, and I must say, hilarious! She made sure we had the utmost possible knowledge about South LA both past, present, and emerging. Also, for any questions we had during the tour that she was unable to answer, she promptly followed up with the answer. If you are thinking about taking this tour...do it!

Black History Tour - This was not only a great tour but an important one! There’s so much Black history in LA that has been lost in translation. It was great to see and learn about all the Black artists, civil right leaders, and icons that laid the foundation of LA. The tour guide Janae is a true historian. This is a must if you’re visiting LA or inquisitive about Black history!
