The best way to see DTLA is on a guided cycling tour
If you want to experience the city beyond the typical tourist stops, Handlebar Bike Tours offers one of the best Los Angeles tours for architecture lovers, history buffs, and adventurous travelers. Our guided cycling tours combine iconic landmarks, fascinating local history, and the freedom to explore far more of Downtown LA than you could on a walking tour or bus tour.
Instead of spending hours walking between destinations and seeing only a little bit of downtown LA, guests can comfortably ride through multiple historic neighborhoods while stopping to explore some of Los Angeles’ most famous buildings from the inside.

Downtown LA is huge, and that’s what makes Handlebar Bike Tours such a unique experience. On a bike, you can easily cruise from Grand Avenue to the Historic Core, through Civic Center, and all the way to Olvera Street and Union Station in a single tour, with bike lanes!
One of the highlights of our Los Angeles Arts District bike tour is riding across the stunning Sixth Street Viaduct, where guests enjoy incredible skyline views and a completely different perspective of the city most tourists, and even locals never get to see.
Because we cover more ground efficiently, there’s also time to stop, park the bikes, and step inside many of LA’s iconic landmarks.
