A Variety of Day Itineraries Shared by Our Local Angeleno.
Cousin Mark loves to share his version of LA with family and friends. More than the sightseeing, he gives us a glimpse of the local scenes.
My ideas of LA as a child, were of glimpses of Hollywood and Disneyland. But experiencing it with a proud Angeleno changed our perspective of the city. Somehow, LA’s celebrity homes and amusement parks dont do justice to this city’s real definition. Its authenticity lies on its open, eclectic and hip vibes. To the why’s why people like to live here.
Since our son relocated to LA for work, we have had the opportunity to stay longer than usual . Each visit gave us the pleasure to savor the city and its surrounding communities spontaneously. No hype… no rush.
It’s funny how Mark whips up his “Premiere Day Tours” organically. He’s gotten so used to entertaining guests that he has designed main stay itineraries combining attractions and current events to see nearby. Because this is what it’s all about, experiencing the flows around the city!
If you’re heading to LA, consider these options to enjoy the city for its varied personality, interesting stories and ever entertaining sights. Be informed of the local scenes during your visit. An in depth vacation make it’s more memorable!
