There’s no excuse for a boring Saturday in L.A. Each week, we reveal a fun activity to help you can make the most of your weekends. Check out all of our 52 Great Saturdays here.
Explore the glam and seedy L.A. of yore alongside historians Kim Cooper and Richard Schave of Esotouric, whose four-hour motor coach expeditions (starting at $58) elevate liquor stores and anonymous bungalows to landmark status. The company inspects L.A. on a granular level, with trips to the iconic venues of the Sunset Strip or sites you might read about in a Raymond Chandler novel. If the gruesome details of horror movies leave you queasy, choose an itinerary carefully: Rare photographs and well-researched commentary on the pair’s true-crime tours take sordid cases—the Black Dahlia, the Night Stalker—from macabre to grisly. Most tours depart at noon from the Arts District’s Daily Dose Café; arrive early for a hearty three-egg scramble, then order an Americano for the road.
