Sometimes it’s really difficult to get ‘off-the-beaten’ track and away from the ‘must-sees’ and ‘must-dos’, but Esotouric does something a little bit different. It uncovers the lesser known neighbourhoods, and the hip and quirky points of interest that the buses which team down Rodeo Drive every half hour miss. How many venture off to East LA for ‘Black Dahlia and Nicotine’ flavoured gelato? From culinary oddities to famous crime scenes to points of architectural importance, this band of brainy, funny history buffs at Esotouric introduces tourists and natives alike to the hidden ingredients that make up the strange soup that is Los Angeles. Most tours, $58.
