LA Explained Walking Tours

You’ve probably seen the nostalgic black-and-white photos of Los Angeles on LA Explained’s Instagram account. And now you can see historical sites in person on its new walking tour through the hillside enclaves of Whitley Heights and Hollywood Heights. Instead of your typical tourist spots, you’ll see often-overlooked landmarks, historic homes and hidden pathways and hear stories about the rise of the film industry. The tour will fittingly begin at the Hollywood Heritage Museum—the longest existing motion picture production building in Hollywood, which used to house Cecil B. DeMille’s office.
