LA Tours

In the city

My nerdy‑ish tours dive into the history and architecture of Los Angeles, with a playful twist of pop culture — because after all, this is L.A. I research the historical events that shaped the city we live in (or visit), and I make sure to include perspectives from groups whose voices are too often overlooked, especially racial minorities and women.

The history of Hollywood and its cinema

About the tour

Step into the story of Hollywood and discover how a quiet California community became the world capital of cinema. Beginning long before the arrival of the film industry, we'll explore the history of the land and the communities that called it home before following Hollywood's transformation into the center of the global entertainment industry.

Through the lives of a handful of influential figures, we'll trace the major transformations that shaped Hollywood over the past century. We'll look beyond the facades of famous landmarks to uncover the stories they hold and occasionally step off the beaten path to discover places and people that are often overlooked. Whether you're a film enthusiast, a history lover, or simply curious about how Hollywood became Hollywood, this tour offers a deeper look at the people, ideas, and institutions behind the myth.

Venice, a history of reinvention

About the tour

Come discover sides of Venice that go beyond the beach and the canals. On this bike tour, we’ll ride through the neighborhood and explore how a developer’s dream of creating an American Venice evolved into one of Los Angeles’ most eclectic communities.

We’ll visit the famous canals, explore Oakwood and its history as a historically Black neighborhood, and discover murals, architecture, and places that tell the stories of the people and communities who shaped Venice.

Along the way, we’ll explore Venice’s evolution from a seaside resort to the diverse and ever-changing community it is today. After exploring the neighborhood, we’ll make our way back to the coast and finish with a ride along the beach.

Expect a mix of history, local stories, architecture, culture, and a little California sunshine—all on two wheels.
