Esotouric Bus Adventures – Unforgettable Tours of Los Angeles

There’s nothing wrong with Hollywood or Rodeo Drive, Santa Monica Boulevard or the Wax Museum, the Walk of Fame or the Getty and on and on … absolutely nothing wrong with any of it. USA Travel Guide would never dismiss the classics. But maybe you’re looking for something a little different next time your in LA. You’ve trekked this tourist town and have started to wonder if there are any tours of Los Angeles that offer something new.

Oh, is there ever!

If by new, you mean something old. Esotouric offers the most fascinating bus tours in Los Angeles, and they’re certainly one of our favorite tour companies nationwide. Their tagline reads, “Bus Adventures into the secret heart of LA.” Just a tip: LA’s secret heart is covered in blood.

LA historian and scandal-junkie Kim Cooper and multimedia guru and all-round enthusiast Richard Schave bring you a dynamic schedule of weekly tours delving into the forgotten history of one of America’s most iconic cities. Murder, greed, lust, gangs, ghosts, backhanded deals, cover-ups, Chinese food – whether it’s LA lore or certifiable fact, Esotouric tours of Los Angeles have the skinny that only years of research could realize.

You won’t necessarily have Kim or Richard as your guide. Unlike most tour companies that roll out the same four or five tours every week (if even that), Esotouric always has something fresh in the future. Every Saturday brings a new tour and a wild new perspective on LA’s seedy underbelly. They ditched the script before they ever had one, and instead the tours are guide-driven. Tours are designed around the passion and knowledge of the day’s guide, ensuring you never have exactly the same trip twice.

The company is on break right now but will have two December tours before taking a full month off. 

• Pasadena Confidential, Dec 5 – behind the genteel veneer of this LA suburb lies a haunted history of Satanism, black magic and other assorted weirdness
• Blood and Dumplings, Dec 12 – ever heard of the Man from Mars Bandit? After you hear the story, you’ll wonder why everyone hasn’t.

Esotouric Bus Adventure tours of Los Angeles typically cost $58 per person, though price may vary by tour. Combo packs are available to help curtail some of the cost. Starting point varies by tour as well, so read instructions carefully. Advanced reservations are always recommended. Learn more.

It’s hard to recommend a hotel near the start of the tour, because it moves from place to place. Instead, here’s a convenient choice near the airport. For Los Angeles airport hotels, consider the Holiday Inn Los Angeles International Airport. The convenient location and free shuttle are an easy plus, and the hotel recently completed a major renovation, so accommodations are super fresh.

Have a great time exploring the hidden history of Los Angeles.
