Reflecting on the trip I truly can not pick a favorite day because they were all so unique and amazing. This was the perfect way for me and my friends to explore Europe for the first time. Buzz has been giving tours through Europe for 25+ years and it is evident in all the information he knows and how he can navigate 250+ students through Europe. It is so fun to walk through cities from Switzerland to Italy, where locals will stick their heads out of windows and will welcome the Buzz group to their towns because of the close connections Buzz has formed all throughout. I could not recommend this trip more. This trip prepares young adults to be independent and get ready for college! You make so many friends along the way. The best is now having new friends that I will be going to college with!

They are dog friendly so we brought our dog in a stroller (as one does). This is fun to do alone, or with a group! It was really cool getting to learn more about North Hollywood especially since my husband and I have lived here for several years. Our tour guide, Avery, was so personable and had great energy! They were so knowledgeable about the history of North Hollywood and it was fun to see them use the energy reader and copper rods! Avery did a great job sharing personal stories mixed with history! There were some interruptions, but Avery handed it well and was friendly overall! We had a special surprise run in with a former employee of one of the haunted buildings we were standing in front of! They were able to share about their ghostly encounters! Definitely not guaranteed, but a nice treat! It's about a 1.5 mile walk so wear the right shoes! I highly recommend if you're a Valley native, visiting, or are in the surrounding LA area!

The usual meeting place is at the Village of the Ed Gould Plaza, an extension of the LGBTQ Center of Los Angeles, is located on 1125 North Mc Cadden Place, Hollywood. However, for this time only, we were asked to go to the headquarters of the Lavender Effect on Sunset Boulevard which in some ways is the home base for Out & About Tours. The tour starts at 11am, but we were asked to get there between 10:30-10:45am for a pre-tour "cocktail" where a Crement/sparkling wine, Freixenet, a Spanish Cava, was served as an eye opener. I accompanied it w/ peanut butter crackers since there is no lunch break, the tour ending around 2pm. This was a good time to get to know Andy of Lavender effect & Jim, our tour guide, both of whom were friendly, hospitable, fun loving which put us in a playful mood through out the tour. Jim is originally from Southern New Jersey closer to Philadephia, and so has a rapid fire, witty, fast way of talking. Lots of juicy tidbits such as Hollywood Gay lore, talk about Studio One on La Peer which "selectively chose" club goers by having rules such as no open toe shoes (to filter out women) or 3 pieces of ID to keep out "minorities". So strange that Gays who were & are actively discriminated against, discriminated against others. To the rescue, Jewel of Catch One & Circus Disco opened its doors to all. Hollywood was also home to Morris Kight, Gay activist, who among many things helped establish what was to become the LGBTQ Community Center in Hollywood as well as helping to start the Gay Parade which marched for the first time in 1970 on Hollywood Boulevard. Tongva people of the Chumash Native Americans are the original inhabitants of Los Angeles, and they were a most enlightened group which allowed its people to actualize their potential whatever it may be. Diversity was encouraged & abetted so that the different strengths & talents of the Tongva could help the community grow & prosper. Later w/ the Spanish conquest & introduction of Catholicism more restrictive & draconian rules destroyed the wise customs of the Tongva. The last nail on the coffin was the arrival of America with its antiquated Victorian "morality" whose anally retentive & repressive laws placed untold hardship on not just the LGBTQ community, but other minorities as well with the condescending attitude of "the white man's burden". DTLA was probably the first location for Gay Euro based activity going probably as far back as the 19th Century. LAPD was well known to be aggressively anti-Gay & anti-Minority so much so that even Gay patrons giving each other a kiss on New Year's Eve could be reason for an arrest. Things had gotten so bad that there was a wide spread, peaceful protest against the LAPD in early 1966 when the Black Cat was raided almost 2 years before the more famous Stonewall Uprising . Although DTLA had seen a decline of Gay establishments in the last half of the 20th century, there has been a come back of sorts with 3 new Gay bars, Mattachine, Redline, Precinct. Silverlake has always been a bohemian, avant garde district. Harry Hay, who was one of the founding members of the Mattachine Society which was "homophile", and sent out a publication that even proposed Gay Marriage as far back as the 1950's. Jim, our tour guide extraordinaire, told fascinating non stop stories & facts throughout the 3 hour tour. I can not recommend Out & About Tours enough to those who want a grand survey of Gay History of Los Angeles to take the VIP Motor Tour or take the separate walking tours which apparently encompass Hollywood, West Hollywood, Silverlake, & DTLA. 5 Yelp stars.

Each year, the Bungalow Heaven Neighborhood Association (BHNA) hosts a self-guided walking tour featuring 8 selected homes. The event took a pause last year due to the Eaton Fire, but this year our party attended the 35th Annual Bungalow Heaven Home Tour in April 2026. [Parking]: Street parking only (free), but our party had no issue finding available street parking in Bungalow Heaven near McDonald Park. [Admission]: Advance tickets = $25 per person (plus online fees), but tickets were available on the day of the event for $30 per person. Visitors checked in at McDonald Park (1000 Mountain Avenue) and the staff handed out a guidebook and wristband. Visitors were supposed to show wristbands to enter each home, but honestly not all volunteers were actively checking them. [Check-in tent & food / drink options]: The tent offered complimentary snacks, water, and lemonade. The staff was beyond generous with the snacks and visitors were encouraged to grab as many homemade cookies (over 35 different options!!!) as they wanted. Heck volunteers were even selling baking books with recipes for the same cookies. There was no complimentary coffee, but there was a coffee truck where visitors can purchase drinks. In addition, I noticed the Kogi food truck and few other food trucks too. [Experience]: The event started at 10 AM and our party stayed from 11:45 AM to 1:45 PM (2 hours) and toured 4 homes. Most of the homes our party visited were Craftsman-style bungalows. Between homes, visitors can also stop by various sponsored pop-up tents. Unfortunately, there were not many places to sit and visitors had to stand in line while waiting to enter each home. The lines were noticeably shorter after 2 PM, but keep in mind the guided tour only lasted until 4 PM so plan accordingly. Definitely expect to stay 4+ hours if visitors want to see all 8 homes + the home with a miniature railroad in the front yard. There were few porta-potties available for anyone who needed a restroom break. Each home had volunteer tour guides explaining the history of each home and some current homeowners were present and available to answer questions in their backyards. [Rules inside of each home]: No interior photos, no food or drinks, no smoking, and no high heels. [Conclusion]: This is a solid tour for anyone who is into historic houses. Some tips include wearing sunscreen, comfortable walking shoes, and breathable clothing. And yes I think those complimentary cookies were well worth at least half of the admission price alone.

If you live in an older home and/or you are a fan of historic homes, the Bungalow Heaven Home Tour in late April every year is an event not to be missed. Be ready to be amazed with the exterior as well as the interior of 6 to 7 featured homes in Pasadena. Most of the owners of these homes have meticulously restored their home's historic glory, and their commitment and dedication to their homes will definitely make you think twice about today's cookie cutter modern homes. Thank you so much to the Bungalow Heaven Home Tour committee for organizing such a wonderful event for the home showcase volunteers for letting strangers see their beautiful homes! Buy tickets online ahead of time to get a discount. A map of all featured homes will be given to you at Check In at MacDonald Park, and this park is the perfect check in area since it's pretty much in the middle of Bungalow Heaven. You set the pace and the route since the tour is completely self-guided. Bring a lot of water and snacks, and make sure to wear comfortable shoes. Yes, you can also drive yourself from home to home, but part of the charm is walking through the beautiful streets of Bungalow Heaven. Walk and enjoy the views of this historic neighborhood if you are able. Several food trucks are at McDonald Park for a lunch break, and there are also different opportunities to enjoy live music performances along the route. In the 2023 tour, the first one to take place after the pandemic, the tour also featured craftsmen who live in the area along the route, from quilt makers to painters to furniture makers.

I honestly didn't know what to expect, but from the moment we arrived, the energy was welcoming, organized, and full of excitement. The tour was originally planned for three buses, but there ended up being enough people for a fourth. What I loved was that even though the additional bus wasn't expected, Daisy and her team were prepared and handled everything seamlessly so everyone could still be accommodated and enjoy the experience. And the FOOD! We experienced something from several Black-owned businesses, including Red's Flavor Table, Honey Kettle Chicken, Court Cafe, Tal's Cafe, The Serving Spoon, and Sol y Soul. At Tal's Cafe, we had pancakes, eggs, sausage, and bacon. The pancakes were made from a secret recipe and had me trying to figure out exactly what I was tasting! Court Cafe served fried chicken and waffles. But Red's Flavor Table was the standout for me, the shrimp over smothered potatoes was AMAZING. It wasn't your traditional shrimp and grits; there were tender crawfish and possibly grits in the dish, but the smothered potatoes were what really made it special. They had the perfect texture, firm enough to have some bite while still being soft. That was easily my favorite dish of the entire tour! Sol y Soul gave us a delicious cornbread-style treat with sweet butter and peach jam. We also enjoyed food from Honey Kettle Chicken. Each stop had its own experience, and the chefs and restaurant teams personally came out to introduce themselves and share the food with us, which made it feel even more special. But honestly, one of my favorite parts was the bus ride itself. This wasn't just a food tour where you sit on a bus and wait for the next stop. We played games, laughed, talked, exchanged socials, and actually got to know the people around us. It felt like community was being created right there on the bus. Daisy is an incredible host, and her love for food, people, and Black-owned businesses was evident throughout the entire experience. Her team was just as wonderful, knowledgeable, polite, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Even when I was one of the last people to receive my cocktail, they made sure I was taken care of and didn't make me feel forgotten. What really stood out to me was how welcoming everyone was at each business. You could feel the excitement when the tour arrived. It reminded me that LA really is about community, connection, love, and supporting one another. I would absolutely recommend Daisy's Black LA Food Tour! This would be PERFECT for a birthday celebration, girls' day, a group outing, or anyone who wants to experience multiple food spots without having to worry about driving from place to place. And if you're looking to meet new people while eating good food and learning more about Black-owned businesses in LA, this is definitely an experience worth having. Daisy has created something truly special. I had an amazing time and would happily do this tour again!
