The Ambassador Hotel’s infamy rests on it being the scene of Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1968, an event that literally changed history. Today his son has been nominated to become US Secretary of Health and Human Services, so it's an appropriate time to look at the tragic events surrounding his father’s death, and think briefly about what might have been.

Real Experiences of real Los Angeles

I love travel. In the past there was nothing I enjoyed more than visiting a city and getting lost wandering its streets. However, during a trip to Europe in 2012, I discovered a guided walking tour and realized that it’s a much better way get to know a city. I got a quick history lesson, saw most of the best sights and was able to ask all the vital questions I had (like where to have lunch) from a local expert. It was the highlight of my trip and I began doing walking tours in every city I visited.

When I returned to Los Angeles I looked for a walking tour, but all I found were bus tours of Beverly Hills, which isn’t where the “stars” live nowadays, and Rodeo Drive, where Angelenos like me never go. So, as a historian, traveler and lover of L.A., I decided to start a new company, offering totally different tours, that would allow visitors to properly experience this amazing city and learn its fascinating history. I was also passionate about creating eco-friendly tours, to raise money for environmental causes.

The Real Los Angeles Tours launched in 2013 with one tour and I was the only guide. Since then we’ve grown a lot – we now have ten tours and five guides and we’ve launched a tour company in San Francisco. However, one thing has never changed and that’s our mission, which is to give our guests a genuine and entertaining experience of the real Los Angeles. Join us on a tour and we promise it will be the highlight of your trip.
