Nice Plan B

Susan_Z, Apr 2024

Took the tour mainly for the Hollywood sign. Although there was a problem with a mudslide, Freddy was excellent in maneuvering us to get a good photo. Interesting gossipy tidbits, engaging, and friendly. Lots of driving without many sights.

RUN!!!!

Don_V, Apr 2024

worst experience I had in Califirnia. They made us wait nearly an hour past our scheduled time, then we drove around for 30 minutes picking peopel up at other locations. My wife and I actually got off the bus and walk to our vehicle mid tour, becuase it was that bad. The best part- I keep getting these emails to leave a review. Soooo... I guess I'll keep leaving reviews.

Great experience especially if solo

Khadijah_A, Apr 2024

I had the joy to experience this event on my own. My tour guide Steve was super informative and even looked for a few celebrities for us to spot. Being a New York native it was actually cool to see how the west coast operated. I got to enjoy the views of Beverly Hills and Belair and rodeo (my favorite part). Although the weather wasn’t super warm I truly enjoyed the time I spent with the tour guide Steve especially because he kept us involved as guest on the bus we didn’t get bored.

Waste of time

Peter_H, Mar 2024

The tour is 95% about: "This is where this celebrity lives/lived" - look at this nice tall gates with cameras and palm trees. I had anticipated learning about the history, fun facts, and intriguing stories behind landmarks like the Walk of Fame, Chinese Theater, Rodeo Drive, the Hollywood sign, etc. However, this wasn't provided on this tour. Regrettably, it turned out to be a two-hour waste of time.

Don’t take this tour.

Dana_B, Feb 2024

Tour guide was funny and informative. Thats about it for this excursion. Meeting location was filthy and unsafe. They had a dog in the back of the store who was not well treated. The “bus” was an open air truck, which was also filthy and worn.

Bus driver was...

Yahir_O, Feb 2024

Bus driver was informational and funny. Had a great time with my fam and enjoyed it all. The tour was basically 3 hours not 2 so had more time to enjoy it all

Tour Guide Was Excellent

Darlene_J, Oct 2023

I would like to start out by saying the tour guide was excellent. He was very informative. I give him 5 stars. However, The bus needs updating. It has seen better days. I think it’s time to invest in a new bus that is why I gave 4 stars instead of 5.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you for your review and we do appreciate your input. Thank you.

My wife and I were...

Gregorio_A, Jul 2023

My wife and I were uncomfortable on back seats plus I was seated to an obese lady who took most of my seat space. We had to wait for a person who was late additional 10 minutes. Operators did not care if we were comfortable. Requested Spanish guide through Viator and Spanish guide was off for that day (notified when we arrived)

Not very timely

pamela_g, Jul 2023

I decided to add this two hour tour with enough time to catch my train. They were about a half hour behind to begin. When we were finally boarded, the vehicle was old and not in good condition (at least one seat belt I saw was broken). The driver looked unkept (a stoner?) and many of the sites he pointed out were of marginal interest to me as a boomer. He didn’t get to Mulholland Drive until two hours was almost up and subsequently exceeded the time, likely making the next tour even later.

our LA city tour

michael_p, Jul 2023

Extremely knowledgeable tour guide. Good delivery and very low key. Took time to explain about the sites on the tour. Was not impatient with the group.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

A tour consisting mostly of driving by stars' homes

niyar, Jul 2023

Not the best

Natalina_O, Jun 2023

Went on this trip with my friend, and I would not recommend. We booked online via Viator, and when we arrived at the destination we were turned away by two staff members as they couldn’t work out if the tour we had paid for was their tour. Finally a lady said it was the correct tour but then proceeded to talk on her phone while we were talking to her and walking away so we were anxious that we were going to miss our actual tour, even though we arrived 15 minutes early to be cautious. We had to badger them to get an answer and it turned out we had in fact booked their tour and the company was just unorganised, which was not a great start. We then went to the tour bus which was beaten and had no seatbelts, where the tour guide didn’t introduce myself for the first 10 minutes driving in a circle so we felt awkward and the energy was just flat. The company needs to implement a no talking on the phone policy as many people on the tour were on the phone (which is not the company’s fault), however meant we couldn’t hear the tour guide for a lot of the trip, who was happy to shout at people and be rude if they weren’t ‘listening’ but it was just because people couldn’t hear, which I understand was not his fault. But he told people off and shouted if he thought they weren’t listening which made me feel like a schoolchild being scolded by a teacher, and the company was so unorganised which made it a stressful experience. One plus side was the route was great and they offered a stop at the Beverly Hills sign which was the best part. The tour took a great route to see rodeo drive, Beverly Hills and mulholland but it is the same route as other tours. If you are looking for a tour like this, your best bet is to go to the ones on the walk of fame by the el capitan Theatre and trying to haggle a price as they will do offers and discounts, and you can probably find seatbelts as well, do not book this tour online.

Spanish-language tour with no Spanish

Leanna_F, Apr 2023

My husband is a native Spanish speaker, so I signed up for this tour because it was offered in both English and Spanish. When we got in the tour, which started 20 minutes late, no Spanish was offered.

Informative guide, below standard vehicle with lots of defects

Emma_F, Mar 2023

Informative and knowledgeable guide, very worn vehicle with no useable seatbelt fir one of our party, when we asked about this we were told that you won't get stopped and it's not important although four travel insurance would have thought different.

was entertaining - maybe a bit too entertaining.

Raven_m, Feb 2023

Overall I am not pleased with this tour. The driver was polite and engaged but hit another vehicle while merging. Up until this tour my son, nor I, had ever been in a fender bender and I’m disappointed to say that I spent money for that experience. The driver, however, was knowledgeable and she was friendly. I will attest to that. She had lots of interesting information, was humorous, and did have the hard task of navigating aggressive L.A traffic. Not sure I will be doing this tour again when we come back for our next visit.

An experience

Carline_O, Jan 2023

Beverly Hills And areas in Hills very impressive Sad stories about Hotels and stars who died Would like warmer in winter months car to be safer with fast ride with seat belts and more time to take pictures

Great tour, did the Job

Renee_O, Jan 2023

Great time with staff and tour guide. Very friendly. I think the Rodeo drive pass through was overlooked, but good stops as noted along the day. Overall, would recommend again.
