What To Expect

Enjoy morning pickup at your hotel in Long Beach, then board a comfortable Mercedes Benz tour coach to ride north to Los Angeles. During the journey, view the twin ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, one of the largest ports in the country.

In downtown LA, stop first at the Los Angeles Coliseum, where many of the city's biggest concerts and sporting events take place. Then head for the Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall, the distinctive building where the Los Angeles Philharmonic plays.

Stop at the shortest railway in the world, Angels Flight, a funicular that goes up Bunker Hill. On Olvera Street, get a feel for the oldest area of downtown LA, where many blockbuster films have been shot.

Head for the Hollywood Sign, perched high above the city on Mt Lee. Hang out there to snap photos and enjoy the views, then head down the hill into the neighborhood itself. Spend time exploring the Dolby Theater, the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the TCL Chinese Theater. 

Eat lunch (own expense) at Mel's Diner on the Sunset Strip, then peruse the luxury shops on Rodeo Drive. Contrast that with the relaxed vibe in Santa Monica and Venice Beach.

After a full day of exploring the City of Angels, enjoy a lift back to your hotel in Long Beach.

Getting to see downtown Hollywood walk of fame and the big Hollywood sign were definitely highlights. Alberto, our tour guide, was absolutely the best guide you could ask for. He had a very unique sense of humor, was well educated and knowledgeable, and such a kind gentleman.

It was Alberto’s humour and knowledge that made this a totally memorable tour. My partner and I have come away learning so much more about the history of Los Angeles, the movies and the stars. Highly recommended. Thank you Alberto 💕

Book with Gabe
Garrison_L, Apr 2024
Had an outstanding tour with Gabe. We were picked up on time at our hotel. From there Gabe gave an amazing audio tour of LA, Hollywood and Beverly Hills. Plenty of stops and free time to enjoy the sites. He even went off the tour to drive us by the Hollywood Bowl. Again, amazing time with a great tour guide!! Thank you Gabe
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for your review. I have shared your most welcome comments with Gabriel. He expressed his appreciation for what you have said. Gabe, as with all of us at Sunseeker Tours, always hope to provide our guests with all they expect as well as some welcome things they were not expecting. Much depends on environmental issues beyond our control (traffic, weather, etc) but when we can, we will slip in more fun and interesting treats. Thanks again for your review.
Excellent Tour, Great Host..
Arun_N, Mar 2024
Great tour. My first of its kind and it didn't disappointment. Tour operator, Alberto, was great throughout the tour. will defo recommend this tour to my friends visiting LA.
Disappointing Tour
Lois_B, Mar 2024
Hollywood Boulevard and Mel's Diner were very nice to see. Disappointed we didn't get to see many other important sites of LA. Not impressed with our tour guide either.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Sorry the tour was disappointing for you. We take reviews very seriously and always hope to discover what our guests like and dislike so that we can improve. Unfortunately, you expressed disappointment that you did not get to see many other important sites of LA without giving us a clue as to which sites they were. Our promotional materials clearly spell out where we go. Also, your comment that you were not impressed with the tour guide is not helpful without clarification as to what he should have done to impress you. In summary, your review could have helped us to improve, but without supporting details, your review is disappointingly short.
The guide, John, was...
Sean_M, Mar 2024
The guide, John, was really good. He had lots of relatable information, jokes and stories. It was a great tour even though it rained and we didn't see the Hollywood sign. My only complaint is the PA system in the van. I could not hear the guide on the interstates, and had to strain to hear him the rest of the time. He says d it was turned up all the way.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for your review. We will have the sound system reviewed and adjusted accordingly.
Not worth the price
Michelle_S, Feb 2024
Eating lunch at Mel’s diner and the Observatory were nice . We waited an hour and a half for pick up. The driver went to the wrong hotel twice. Idk who’s fault that was. I know I provided the correct address.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
I sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding your hotel pick-up. There are 2 Residence Inns in Long Beach and, yes, we did go to the wrong one. When the error was recognized, we got on the freeway which would have gotten us to you quickly. Unfortunately, there was a significant accident on the highway which added to the delay. Again, I sincerely apologize for our error.
Great tour highly recommended
Adriaan_v, Feb 2024
Great guide/driver. We did this tour before and happily will do it again . Great that they will do hotel pick up and drop off
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Thank you for your review and support. I have shared your review with your guide/driver, Gabriel. Being called "great" is most rewarding. You have been with us twice and indicate you will do it again. A BIG thank you for that!! Our including local hotel pick-up and return is a very popular part of our tour. Thank you for mentioning that.
Fantastic LA tour!!

Great tour!
Carol_R, Jan 2024
Great tour with our driver Gabe! He is very knowledgeable about Los Angeles. He answered questions passengers asked, and if he didn’t know the answer, someone would google it. My husband and I have done this tour twice now with Gabe. Well worth the money - so convenient having hotel pick up too! Thanks for a great day Gabe!
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Welcome back! It is gratifying to have return guests. I have shared your review with Gabe and he expressed his appreciation for what you have said. Picking-up guests at their local hotel is one of the most popular aspects of our tours. Thank you again for your kind works and for coming back to us.
Totally recommend this tour!

Gabriel, our tour guide was awesome. He made the trip great. We saw so many sites and continued on to more.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
I have shared your kind words with Gabriel. He asked me to thank you for what you said. "Awesome" is a pretty great evaluation. We hope to have an opportunity to serve you again.
Be Aware!
Kelly_S, Nov 2023
Sunseeker Tours cancelled our tour right as we boarded the plane headed to LA. Yes, they apologized but that didn’t help much when we didn’t have time to book another tour. I am definitely salty about their policies. They should have given more notice than the day before late in the evening. Also, they offered us nothing!!!!! I would NOT recommend this company!
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Once again, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to you by the cancellation. Cancellations are extremely rare and, when unforeseen circumstances necessitate them we always make every effort to provide alternatives which meet the guest requirements. Again, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
Book this tour!!
Thomas_A, Sep 2023
Awesome tour! Guide was so knowledgeable about the area and he was hilarious! He touched on everything in LA and showed us the best local beaches. Well worth your time and you pretty much get to see everything. I would highly recommend this tour and would absolutely do it again!
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Wow! Thank you for your kind words and recommendation. We sincerely hope that you will indeed come back again.
Amazing LA Tour 2023
Bernard_D, Sep 2023
We took this tour on 9/10/23. The driver was really informative and was a local from LA. He was very friendly and gave us plenty of time to enjoy each site. He even took us to local beaches after the tour for us to see how local beaches are very much different from tourist areas. I’d totally recommend going on this tour . It was a little long but you see so much and we’ll worth it.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Thanks for submitting your review of your recent experience with us. LA is a big place and it can be tricky to show it off in the time we have. Our guides are locals and we take pride in showing off our home. I have shared your comments with your guide. Thank you again for sharing your input.
Highly recommended
Sharon_M, Aug 2023

Paul_S, Jul 2023
We were very impressed with Gabriel our tour guide, especially as he picked us up and dropped us off at our Airbnb. He was very knowledgeable, amusing and interested in who we were. This tour is great way to see the highlights and lowlights of LA with entertaining banter from a local tour guide. Thank you Gabriel for an enjoyable tour.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Thanks for your kind words about the tour and especially about Gabriel. I have forwarded a copy to him and he has asked me to thank you for all you said. We are glad that we were able to pick you up at your Airbnb. Whenever possible, we try to do that. It often depends on the location with respect to the tour route. Thank you again for your review
