Who are the Los Angeles Conservancy Tour Guides?

Los Angeles Conservancy tour guides are highly trained individuals, passionate about sharing their love of  Los Angeles, history, architecture, and preservation with others. They come to the Conservancy with unique backgrounds and experiences, but they all have the same goal—to share the story of Los Angeles’ places with others and to inspire a love for its historic buildings.
