Los Angeles Downtown Self-Guided Audio Tour

Discover Downtown Los Angeles through the stories of its Historic Core, from its rise and decline to its revitalization. This self-guided walking tour lets you explore without a group, following audio that brings the neighborhood’s past and present into focus.

The route uses GPS playback and turn-by-turn directions in the VoiceMap app. Begin at the designated starting point, then follow the audio as you walk. The experience takes about two hours, but you control the pace: pause, restart, or linger at stops along the way. Producer Phil Biedron, an actor and tour guide, shares the stories that inspired him to create the tour. You can also try the virtual tour option from home.

Download the app and enter the code on your confirmation ticket before you set out. Audio, maps, and geodata work offline, and your tour access is available for lifetime use. Bring your own smartphone and headphones; attraction admission, food, and transportation are not included. Choose the Los Angeles Downtown Self-Guided Audio Tour for a flexible way to explore the city’s Historic Core.
