Excellent!

Phil_H, Apr 2024

Brilliant tour! Highly recommended and Jeff was a great guide! The content on enroute was spot on and the time at each venue was great too.

Good way to go around LA

Rakesh_M, Apr 2024

Good way to soak in the sights if you are first timer like us in LA. You definitely need someone who knows & understands the city to show you around and this tour does exactly that. Steven was out tour driver & guide and he did a fab job with the narration and driving. Day well spent in LA!

Great Tour!

Sanjeet_B, Apr 2024

It was an amazing experience, the tour was great, our guide was very friendly and informative. Highly recommend doing this tour if you're in Los Angeles!!

Well Worth It!

Douglas_M, Apr 2024

Being able to stop and visit several iconic locations throughout our tour made the trip well worth it. We enjoyed the beaches, Beverly Hills, the Farmers Market, and being able to view the city and the Hollywood sign from Griffith Observatory.

Great overview of LA's highlights

MarshaP, Apr 2024

This was a perfect overview of LA's highlights for a first-time visitor. The guide shared great information. The time to explore at each stop was just right without feeling rushed. The pick-up and drop-off options made it an especially convenient option.

Magical whistle stop tour of LA essentials

William_F, Apr 2024

Fantastic itinerary of many of the ‘must go’ places in LA with a film centred (which was great) running commentary from the knowledgeable Jeff. An essential for those with limited time in LA.

Interesting and Fun filled day of LA

LoriAnn_D, Apr 2024

The view from Griffith park Observatory was spectacular! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and shared interesting facts throughout our tour.

Missed seeing Hollywood sign and take a picture with it

Walaa_N, Apr 2024

Not bad! But you should mention clearly that Hollywood sign will be seen from a very far place that you will not be even take a photo with it

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thanks for touring with us. We take guests as close as possible legally on a bus for specatular views of the Hollywood sign and the LA Basin from Griffith Park. The only way to take a picuture next to the sign is to hike up to it. Take care and safe travels.

The tourist guide was...

Wendy_R, Apr 2024

The tourist guide was amazing & funny! Places were great!!!! Highly recommended to book and so convenient!

A fabulous day!!

Griffith Park and Beverly Hills was my favorite!! I loved it!! Well worth the cost!! Very enjoyable!!

Fun

Erica_L, Apr 2024

Really fun day. Our tour guide Key was great and knowledgeable! It was a lot of walking so make sure you wear the right kind of shoe. Have fun and enjoy!

Tour Round LA.

Peter_T, Apr 2024

We covered a lot of places during our tour of LA, with a very knowledgeable driver. He was friendly, chatty and funny and kept the day flowing well. We had been to LA briefly once before but didn’t really have the chance to look round - so it was good to do so on this occasion.

Interesting but way over time

Sherry_L, Apr 2024

We should have ended by 5pm in Santa Monica (lv 9:30 from Santa Monica for 7-1/2 hr tour. We got back at 6:30. We had to cancel our Sat night dinner reservations in West Hollywood. We drove from our hotel in Beverly Hills for pickup at the tour beginning point in Santa Monica because the tour info said that we would not be riding around for pick-ups and drop-offs. Yet, after the last tour stop, we went out of our way to Beverly Hills to drop off two women!! This is why we had to cancel our dinner reservation. We had to go to Santa Monica to pick up our car and drive all the way back to back to Beverly Hills. Tour guide was knowledgeable and pleasant. He should have made stops 30 min instead of 40-45, and 1:20 at lunch. A day of interesting sights, but felt like the party had just gone on too long. Instead of 7.5 hrs., it was 9+ hrs.

Terrific

Todrick_S, Apr 2024

The tour guide for bus 2 was amazing. He knew everything about the areas and very friendly and nice and provided alot of water as well.

A great way to visit L.A.'s famous locations.

Darren_S, Apr 2024

I thought everything about this tour was just great. It's professionally run and allows you to easily see a few of L.A.'s famous locations. The vehicle is modern and comfortable, the length of time at each stop is ideal, the lunch stop has almost endless options to choose from, and the driver/host communicates exceptionally well and provides an excellent commentary along the way. A great day out!

Great city tour

Keith_D, Apr 2024

Very good tour. Pick up and return were smooth and well managed. The guide (Raoul) was well informed, humoured, and overall a real pleasure to listen to. Great spacing and time between locations. Although it’s a bus tour, there’s loads of time and opportunity for wandering.

See all major LA spots in one trip!

Nhu_S, Apr 2024

Steven T was the best!! Gave us some “secret spots” that were well worth the long day. Highly recommend, even my teen boy thought it was worth it.

Must Do Tour!!

Joe_C, Apr 2024

Steven was really informed about things on the tour. He was extremely well mannered and very helpful. Highly recommend this tour.

Great tour

Eyal_D, Apr 2024

Feels like we covered all the must see places, the guid was amazing, had a lot of knowledge and was very friendly and funny. The time we spent in the different places was well balanced. The only thing to improve is that in the ride from the hotel to the starting point (which was part of the tour) the A/C didn’t work well, it was around an hour in the traffic in a hot day we were around 10 people, windows couldn’t be open and it was tough..But the tour itself was great (you go on a different vehicle)

Perfect day in LA

Rafal_J, Apr 2024

If you only have one free day in LA, and looking for all in one tour, this is it. Very good experience from beautiful Santa Monica, Beverly Hills- Rodeo Drive all the way to Hollywood, just amazing.
