Urban Adventures: Beverly Hills: Beyond the Botox

Written By Admin

Highlight:

• Start your morning with breakfast and a cuppa joe at a classic 1960’s diner
• Stroll through Beverly Hill’s gardens and lush neighbourhoods
• Get a sugar fix at the world’s first cupcake shop
• Discover an impressive, museum-quality family-owned art gallery ( with Rembrandts and Dalis!)
• Nibble on rich chocolate and rustic cheese from beloved local gourmet shops
• Explore a unique hidden media museum dedicated to radio and television history

Full Itinerary:

A haven for art, beauty, and gourmet fare, Beverly Hills’ Golden Triangle offers much more than just window shopping on Rodeo Drive. Just off the tourist path lie diners, gourmet shops, galleries, and museums often missed by the average tourist. Join us for a Los Angeles tour that favours the less-travelled side streets to introduce you to the realities of the 90210 – all its quirks and local spots that prove there’s more to Beverly Hills than meets the eye.

Your LA tour will also be chock full of sweets and treats, with visits to some of our fave shops – rustic cheese and gourmet chocolate, anyone?! We’ll hit up the original cupcake bakery and dig into some samples while learning about their sustainable practices and celebrity status.

Keep your sugar high in check, because next up on this Beverly Hills tour is a rather impressive family-owned art gallery. Get up close and personal with Rembrandt, Renoir and Dali masterpieces before checking out one of LA’s most fun and underrated museums, a unique media museum that you probably wouldn’t have found on your own.
