This new tour that features two unique destinations with international flair and flavor begins with a guided tour of Watts Towers, Los Angeles' world-famous monument to human ingenuity. Learn about the history, cultural significance and artistic processes involved in their creation as a knowledgeable docent shares little-known facts about this group of 17 sculptural towers and mosaics built over a 33-year period by Simon Rodia, an Italian immigrant and tile-setter. Built with his own two hands, the Watts Towers are the result of Rodia’s artistic fantasy – fanciful spires pieced together from steel-reinforcing rods and wire mesh, colorfully decorated with seashells and fragments of broken dishes and bottles. Enjoy time at leisure to explore the Watts Towers Arts Center, featuring rotating exhibitions of contemporary art. Later, we’ll enjoy time at leisure to stroll through Marina Del Rey’s Fisherman’s Village, the charming, waterfront complex with nautical-themed architecture, quaint shops and a collection of sea lions and seals that are generally providing the entertainment. 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.
To ensure a healthy and enjoyable travel experience for our guests, this tour will operate with additional health & wellness measures in place.
