For over 25 years, the Los Angeles Conservancy has been sharing Los Angeles' unique architectural treasures with the public through the Walking Tour program.

These tours are an excellent group activity, suitable for social club outings, schools, corporate team building activities, conference field sessions, even birthday parties and family reunions.

Groups of 8 or more can request a private docent on a regularly scheduled Saturday morning tour (subject to availability, regular fees apply), or tours can be specially arranged.

Please note that the Angelino Heights, Broadway Theatres, City Hall, and Highland Park tours are only available at scheduled times. Other restrictions may apply.

Below are some of the frequently asked questions regarding tours. For more information, and to book a group tour, contact Annie Laskey, Program Coordinator, at

Frequently asked questions:
How big a group can I bring?
Tours can accommodate 15-20 people per docent, depending upon the tour. Subject to availability on any given day, we can provide up to three docents. The Union Station tour is the only tour that can accommodate groups larger than 60.

How long in advance do I need to schedule?
Tours are subject to availability, so booking at least four weeks in advance is recommended.

What days are the tours offered?
The Conservancy’s regularly scheduled tour day is Saturday. Weekday and Sunday tours can be set up subject to availability. There is a 15 person minimum for specially arranged tours.

What time are the tours?
Regularly scheduled tours start at 10:00 a.m. For specially arranged tours, we recommend a start time between 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. so that the tour is finished before lunch. Afternoon and early evening tours can also be arranged subject to certain restrictions.

How long are the tours?
Tours as given to the public are 2-1/2 hours long. Most tours can be shortened to 1-1/2 hours if requested.

How much walking is involved?
The tours are walking tours, and generally cover a total distance of about 1-1/2 miles. The tours have varying degrees of walking difficulty, and several of the tours can be shortened if requested. Many of the tours are wheelchair accessible.

Can I customize my tour?
The Conservancy’s docents are trained on specific tour routes and information, and while there is flexibility within this format to focus the tour to your group’s specific interests, we regret that we cannot put together specialized tours.

What are the costs?
Tours are $10/general, $5/Conservancy members and children 12 & under. Specially arranged tours have a $150 minimum. School groups (high school and younger) are $5/person. Tour docents do not accept tips.

What about parking?
Parking downtown on the weekends runs $3 - $5 per car, but on weekdays is significantly higher ($8 & up). As an alternative to parking downtown, several of the tours are easily accessible by metro rail.
