We take a break at Olvera Street, with time to wander L.A.’s oldest neighborhood. This tour visits the top 10 tourist destinations, and hidden gems, of DTLA. Our guides focus on history and cultural narration, with a little true crime and movie industry lore on an easy, 2.5 hour bike ride. Handlebar Bike Tours, in business since 2017, is the best way to see the historic and cultural heart of Los Angeles. The bike ride is designed for casual bike riders, with much of the tour in bike lanes. If you want to see bucket list icons and filming locations in a few hours this is the tour for you.
