Overview

Visit Historic Old Town Eureka with the benefit of a local and knowledgeable guide! Home to over 100 street art pieces, Eureka boasts more artist per capita that anywhere else in California! With so much creativity nestled along the Humboldt Bay waterfront, our tours encompass the best the area has to offer. With spectacular bay views, stories from the gold mining era, and artistic abundance all in one guided tour, you cannot go wrong with us!

We begin at the historic Mendenhall Studios, an artist space with history. Our tour then uses the old main street "Opera Alley" to visit some of the best murals in town. After exploring Old Town Eureka, we stop by Historic Chinatown and learn about the people and culture that were once banned in the county. As we continue sightseeing and finding murals, we make our way to the Carson Mansion and Pink Lady, two renowned Victorians of Eureka. Finishing the tour along the bay, we see the "living art wall" and harbor before arriving where we began.
