The Experience
What your day looks like
Enjoy a private tour of the vibrant Venice Beach, an exciting beachside neighbourhood where you can see great performers and street art, and people watch and soak up the energy in the air. Los Angeles is a sprawling metropolis – each neighbourhood has its own unique culture, with residents coming from the four corners of the globe, making it a truly world-class destination. Venice has a healthy mix of old and new; the quintessential feel of both classic LA and ultra-modern sensibilities. Get an insider’s look into one of America’s iconic beach neighbourhoods. Your private tour will capture the melting pot that is Venice and discover that the history of this place is as fascinating as the people-watching. There is an ‘ethical business’ feel that resides here in Venice, where even the upscale has maintained the laid-back Californian vibe. Your tour finishes at Salt & Straw, where your guide will leave you to enjoy the best ice cream on the West Coast.
