ESOTOURIC PRESENTS: LEO POLITI LOVES LOS ANGELES

April 19, 2025

Esotouric invites you to attend a special Downtown walking tour that celebrates the life, work and passions of acclaimed author and illustrator Leo Politi (1908-1996) through visits to time capsule locations that figure in his remarkable Los Angeles story.

We’ll visit Olvera Street and the Plaza, to see the historic heart of the city and the place where Politi found inspiration and gained fame, returning years later to paint a mural of the Blessing of the Animals. And we’ll pay our respects at the beautiful olive tree opposite Union Station, where some of the artist’s ashes are interred.

This walking tour is illustrated with rare photos you can view on your smartphone.

Tour begins at 10:30am sharp, with check-in time 10am at the patio outside Grand Central Market in front of Maple Block BBQ at 324 S Hill St, Los Angeles, CA 90013. Please arrive on time and proceed to the check in table to get signed in and logged in to the smartphone slideshow. Scroll down for tour rules and recommendations.
