Rock 'n Walk Tours, West Hollywood

I'm a huge rock/metal fan and so are my sons. I brought two of my sons, ages 16 and 19, to L.A. for a music-themed trip. I knew I wanted to spend time on the Sunset Strip exploring the rock history so I decided to take this tour. I was blown away! The owner/guide, Jon, was incredibly knowledgable and also a very cool dude. Also key was the fact that he knows people at all the venues, bars, restaurants, and other cool spots so he has access to get into places that we never would have otherwise had, including, for example, backstage at the Whisky, in the secret party rooms at the Rainbow, and swanky, exclusive clubs and bars. My head was exploding from all the history he shared with us. This tour ended up being the highlight of the trip. I could not recommend it more if you're into the rich music history of the Strip.

Great tour! If you want to see the history of rock music in LA, this is the tour. Jon seemed to know everyone in the area from the owners of clubs/restaurants/hotels to even the UPS guy as we were passing by. You go backstage in lots of clubs (Whisky, Rainbow, etc) and to the tops of multiple famous hotels. He has more information about this area than anyone else could ever know. There would be no way to see all this stuff in your own. I did the day tour this time and will probably do the night tour when I come back.
