| Get ready for an unforgettable journey through the vibrant art and culture of Los Angeles accompanied by professional L.A. guide Curt. We’ll begin with a captivating exploration of the city's dynamic art scene, exploring multiple neighborhoods including the Civic Center, the Figueroa Corridor and the burgeoning Arts District. Formerly barren industrial areas have been transformed into thriving hubs of creativity, teeming with art studios, lofts, galleries and striking street art. Each installation features a unique history and provides deep insights into downtown L.A.'s ever-evolving artistic landscape. Get your best shot with the latest public art including breathtaking statues, sculptures and murals that pay tribute to iconic L.A. sports legends like Kobe Bryant, Mookie Betts, Wayne Gretzky and others. Enjoy time at leisure exploring The Broad, the $140 million contemporary art museum financed by billionaire philanthropists and art collectors Eli and Edythe Broad. This repository for some of the most expensive artwork on the planet – most of it from the Broads’ personal collection of over 2,000 pieces – is one of the most prominent holdings of contemporary art worldwide and includes pieces by Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. With only 250 pieces on display at any one time, each visit here presents new opportunities to question, debate and appreciate. This evening we’ll arrive at Casa Sanchez, the upscale Mexican restaurant featuring unique family recipes that have been passed down through generations. After an included three-course dinner with choice of entrée, we’ll experience a live mariachi performance. Sit back and enjoy the soul-stirring melodies of a mariachi band featuring violinists adorned in silver-spangled trajes de charro (horsemen's uniforms) of black, white, orange, and green, a guitarist and a trumpeter – each contributing to create a mesmerizing musical symphony. |
