Welcome to Tappi Guide, where every tour is a journey through the heart and soul of Los Angeles. I’m Eric Tappi, and my passion for this city runs deep. Having lived in LA for over a decade, I’ve spent years uncovering its hidden gems, exploring its vibrant neighborhoods and diving into its rich cultural history. 

What started as a hobby of showing friends around LA quickly grew into a career of guiding visitors who want to experience more than just the typical tourist spots.

With Tappi Guide, my goal is to offer personalized and unforgettable excursions. Whether we’re hiking through scenic trails, walking through Hollywood’s iconic landmarks, or enjoying local food spots, I want to ensure that every tour feels tailored and special. My extensive knowledge of LA allows me to bring local insider insights, making each experience unique to you.

Why Choose Tappi Guide?

At Tappi Guide, we believe that exploring LA should be more than just checking boxes on a list of landmarks. Here’s why our tours stand out:

    I keep the group sizes small, ensuring you get a personalized experience and the chance to ask questions, explore at your own pace, and enjoy more intimate access to LA’s wonders.


  • Off-the-Beaten-Path Discoveries:
    LA is more than just the Hollywood sign. I’ll take you to hidden spots that most tourists never see, from tucked-away trails to local neighborhoods rich with history and culture.

  • Local Insider Knowledge and Expertise:
    With years of experience living and exploring in LA, I know the city inside and out. Whether you’re curious about LA’s history, celebrity culture, or its best eateries, I bring you the local perspective.
