About the Tours
Metros Docent Council is a group of volunteers committed to increasing awareness of the broad range of art in the Metro Rail system through public tours that provide insights into the artworks, the artists who created them, the processes it took to make them, and the communities they enhance. While docent programs are commonly found at museums around the world, Metro is the first transit agency to benefit from such a program.

Free tours are offered the first Saturday and Sunday of every month. The tours are roundtrip and last approximately 2 hours. No reservations are required!

First Sunday - Meet promptly at 10 am at the information booth inside the entrance to historic Union Station at 900 Alameda St. in Downtown Los Angeles. There is pay parking at Union Station and metered street parking, and pay lots in the immediate area.

General Information:
The tours are approximately 90% walking; there are elevators and escalators in all the stations.
The Docents distribute date-stamped badges that allow you to ride the entire Metro Rail system for free on the day of the tour. Docents carry voice amplifiers and wear bright orange vests for easy identification.
Children at or above a 5th grade level may participate on the scheduled and private group tours.
