Born and raised in Los Angeles, our tour starts 10 minutes from the hospital where I was born. Like my city, I am multicultural and multilingual.
My mom is from Guatemala, my dad is from El Salvador, and my Spanish is Mexican. Additionally, I did study abroad in China for 1 year and speak Mandarin Chinese. Like you, I love traveling, learning, and meeting new people.
My goal is to show you a version of Los Angeles that you would never see otherwise. To bring together the modern world with our "ranchero" roots.
First of all, there aren't many people offering walking tours in Downtown L.A., so Marlon's tour is one of a few. On top of that, Marlon offers the tour in English and Spanish which was key for my family as some of them aren't proficient in English. I do recommend the tour; I learned a lot about the history of Downtown L.A., the city's development, the culture and cool aspects of the city in its modern version. I also enjoyed Marlon's way of building rapport with the people in the tour as he has prepared some cool activities for people to interact with each other during the tour. I do recommend this tour to anyone.
Interesting tour ending in the Spanish old town of LA
Marlon is smart, funny, friendly and knowledgeable. He created a game for tour, where we could look for the stickers he placed along the tour route. It’s very fun. Another perk is he speaks English, Spanish and Mandarin Chinese. I had a great time on this tour and I highly recommend it!
