Business Description
Venice walking tours featuring vintage movie clips and glossy photos.
Spend the day with Charlie Chaplin, Jim Morrison and many others as you watch long-gone canals, roller coasters, fun houses and pleasure piers spring back to life before your eyes on the only Venice walking tour showing vintage movie clips on an iPad -- allowing you to see both film location and film at the same time.
You’ll witness echoes from Venice's grand past as you stroll with Jonathan Kaplan, tour guide for the Los Angeles Historic Theatre Foundation, writer for NYPD Blue and JAG and Venice resident for 16+ years.
Each intimate group (limit six guests) will discover where Chaplin put on his derby and mustache for the very first time on January 10, 1914, where Morrison spent a very important summer writing poetry on a rooftop in 1965...and where Jack Tripper fell off his bike in the opening of 1977's "Three's Company.
Other Highlights:
The original Venice Canals (1905-1929) where gondoliers once showed Angelenos a more relaxed alternative to the freeways.
The jewelry store where Lindsey Lohan "forgot" to take off that infamous necklace.
The house where a member of Charles Manson's "Family" met a mysterious death in 1969.
The original Gold's Gym where Arnold Schwarzenegger pumped iron in the 70s.
You'll also get to see modern Venice, with its Bike Path, Graffiti Pit, Basketball Courts, Skate Park, Muscle Beach, Murals and Ocean Front Walk.
