Art lovers typically visit Venice seeking street art, but Kevin Flint, owner of LA Art Tours, considers the alleys south of Downtown L.A.’s Arts District grittier and more real. Working artists lead the two-and-ahalf-hour Alley Adventure Urban Art/Graffiti Bike Tour, which includes works by L.A.’s largest graffiti crew, Under the Influence, in hidden backstreets and alleys within alleys. “It’s the stuff they won’t see on everyone else’s Instagram,” Flint says. Reservations required; $35 including rental bike, $19 with own bike. 310.503.2365, laarttours.com
