Culture, Cuisine & California Charm: A Leisurely Day in LA

 

Come along with us for a captivating day exploring some of Los Angeles’ most iconic cultural treasures — including world-renowned museums and one of the city’s most beloved destinations, the Original Farmers Market. Situated on more than 30 acres next to The Grove shopping complex, this historic indoor/outdoor marketplace draws locals, travelers, and even celebrities with its incredible food stalls, artisan shops, and lively atmosphere.

 

During the day, passengers will have the opportunity to enjoy lunch on their own — whether at the Original Farmers Market, at one of the restaurants located within the museums, or at a nearby eatery in the surrounding area.

 

From here, we journey to Museum Row, a three-block cultural corridor along the famed Miracle Mile. Choose your own adventure among an extraordinary lineup of attractions: step back in time at the prehistoric La Brea Tar Pits, marvel at the stunning design and legendary vehicles inside the Petersen Automotive Museum, immerse yourself in world-class art at LACMA, or celebrate the magic of filmmaking at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.

 

Spend a relaxing, inspiring day discovering the places that speak most to you — whether you’re drawn to science, art, history, film, or simply the vibrant spirit of Los Angeles.

 

Note: Museum admission is not included in tour fare.
