LA Arts District- Alley Adventure Urban Art and Graffiti Bicycle Tour

Our popular Downtown LA Graffiti and Mural tour has been taking guests through the main streets of the Arts District for years. Now we’re taking you off the beaten path, and into the art filled back streets and alleys that most people never find or even know exist.

Bring your own bike or rent one from any of the conveniently located Metro Bike kiosks at the tour start!

Your bicycle tour guide is a real artist and longtime member of the Arts District Community. They might not be able to win the Tour de France on a bicycle, but they really know street art. Living and creating art in the area for decades, each one is an expert on the history, culture, art, and artists that made the Arts District an important part of the Los Angeles creative community for decades.

The tour includes hundreds of works of art, from massive building size murals to amazing little pieces that you would ride right by if it weren’t for their expert eyes and experience. You’ll be visiting art your friends wouldn’t find in a year of searching.

The tour starts with primers on urban art history and technique, getting your feet wet before launching into the streets and alleys of Downtown LA. These aren’t all the manicured and gentrified streets of other areas of Downtown LA. You’re going to see some real grit. And lay your eyes on some of the real art being put on the walls by the real artists and crews who built LA’s legendary graffiti scene.

The tour ends back where it started, giving you a chance to enjoy dining at Zinc Cafe or one of the many other restaurants in the more gentrified areas of the Arts District (your guide will be happy to give suggestions.)

Public group tours on Sundays at 10 AM. Private tours for your group are available 7 days/week.
