A must do Hollywood tour. see the homes of likes of Al Pacino
ishan_s, Apr 2024
This tour guide was amazing he sounded like a A grade radio Jockey, he showed my family all the best places in Hollywood, Beverly hills Hollywood blvd etc. It was completely worth it and I highly recommend it just that its LA and its gets chilly in the night as the windows of the bus are big and open so carry a jacket.
Much easier than going to these places on your own
Angela_A, Mar 2024
Fun and entertaining host, only thing I would recommend is lower the music, way too loud for peeps in the back by the speakers, it would also be cool if there was a video screen to see the photos and stories that were told about pics on his phone, wish us in the back could have seen them too
Wonderful Tour
Stacey_L, Feb 2024
Our tour guide Bruce was amazing, this was one of the favorite parts of our trip. We saw so many interesting sites in two hours that I never could have seen on my own. I was nervous to go in the rain with all the mud slide warnings but Bruce knew exactly what was safe or not safe since he has lived in LA for so long that I didn’t need to worry at all.
Beverly Hills
Cheryl_S, Feb 2024
Excellent tour lots of celebrities houses and a good tour of Beverly Hills. Our guide was very informative.
The bus never showed up.
Ayse_E, Jan 2024
There was nothing memorable cause the bus never showed up. We just waited 15 mins before and 30 mins after the tour time, but the bus never came. We just spent almost one hour to get there and wait another 45 mins. What a waste of our valuable vacation time!
The moved our tour time without calling
Ahmed_K, Jan 2024
We bad our tour at 9am but when arrived on time that they have moved it to 10 am!! Two stars because the bus driver was so nice and funny
A must visit when in LA!
Johnathan_K, Jan 2024
I've been to LA many times over the years but nothing compared to a 2hr tour like this. It stretched up into the mountains of Holly Wood Hills where many celebs live. We saw Rhianna's 2 homes side by side next to other celebs. The tour guide was super knowledged on the area and went far beyond, they live here and there but truly brought out the interesting things in the area and was funny too.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
thank you for your review, glad you had fun.
Over priced
Sharon_P, Jan 2024
It was ok. Definitely not worth $45 each & than asking for tips! I could have just followed in my vehicle.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Sorry you had bad experience with us Sharon hope we can make it up to you next time you’re in LA. Please give is call we will make it up 877-977-8687
Bitter, jaded, depressing tour guide...
Whitney_H, Jan 2024
Our guide never introduced himself or asked our bus load (20 people) where we were from or tried to interact with us in anyway (as I had experienced on previous tours with other companies in LA). He was negative and offensive, making jokes about prostitutes and homeless people within the first five minutes of our tour. Dude sounded burned out and cynical as hell (which I get! but not on my tour with my 9 year old please!). He wasn't funny and his stories weren't interesting at all. The jokes were canned and he was bitter - mostly putting down the rich and telling everyone that they probably don't want to live in LA. Well, I don't want to live in LA but I don't want the tour guide patter to be depressing and nasty either. Dude, maybe you were just having a bad day but I had no desire to tip you or leave a good review for this company after that experience. A few months earlier I had had SUCH a great, fun, light hearted and inspiring tour by another Hollywood tour bus co and I made the mistake of booking with your co (similar name) instead. I will remember NOT to recommend this company to anyone because you'll regret getting stuck with this guy after spending good money. Mostly the tour is of peoples hedges and gates anyway -- so without the proper personality and facts, the tour is a waste of 2 hrs and cash. Please perk up, dude!
A taster tour of LA
Sharon_W, Dec 2023
Great tour guide, very informative. I would highly recommend the tour. It helps you find your bearings in Los Angeles, personally I would make it one of the first things to do so you can decide what to book next.
Disappointed
Michelle_H, Dec 2023
Experience could be dependent on tour guide. I took this tour twice. The quality has gone down since I first took this tour In 2015, when there was an actual stop for passengers to get out of bus briefly and take Hollywood sign pics in background. Unengaging and drab stories
Tour of the rich and famous
Cathy_M, Nov 2023
I loved this tour so much I almost booked it again just to sit on the other side of the bus so I could see everything!! Lots of cool tidbits - celebrity homes, film locations, and other hot spots. Tour driver was awesome. Loved the open air set up so windows weren't in the way of photos. Fun and fantastic.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Thank you for the positive feedback Cathy, happy to see you enjoyed the tour.
Dissappoy
Robert_J, Nov 2023
Do it before sunset or you will not anything in the dark. Driver drove like a mad man and we have no seatbelts.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Hi Robert, I'm sorry you had a bad experience, but all of our busses have seatbelts in it safety comes first. This may be the wrong company please give us a call we would love to solve this issue 877-977-8687
Best tour! Great tour guide!
Sandra_T, Nov 2023
This was a Great tour! This was the best tour thus far…minus the lady who would not stop talking! However, the all day tour I went on the day before was a total waste of money. Review coming on that one shortly.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Hello Sandra, thank you for the positive review, hope you visit us in the future
Tour felt too rushed....
Cheryli_T, Nov 2023
Wish we were able to actually stop to take pictures. A lot of the referenced information was dated. Pictures had to be taken in cideo and there were a lot of obstacles that obstructed the view.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Thank for the Review, sorry some celebrity homes are a bit hidden, but we try our best to provide a unobstructed view with our Open Air Buses.
A few sights to see, but underwhelming
Derek_O, Oct 2023
Ok, so honestly wasn’t super impressed with this one. I just felt like it left me wondering… “that’s it?” The tour starts on Sunset Blvd and immediately goes up to the hills to Mulholland to see homes. All along the curvy Mulholland, occasionally pulling over, cars are honking behind us. In total I think they only pointed out maybe 6 celebrity homes. Then we were headed back down and into Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, and then of course, Hollywood. Some neat places pointed out while driving back.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Hello Derek, sorry the tour wasn't up to your expectations. If you can please provide the time and date of your tour so we can know who your guide was would help us. Thank you.
Good Tour - recommend!
Carly_A, Oct 2023
Rodger was a good tour guide. It was enjoyable and interesting. I recommend the tour. I do not recommend arriving too early bc there is nothing really close by where the tour starts. As a solo female traveler I felt a little unsafe. But I was fine right in front of the tour office.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Hi Carly, your review is much appreciated, we are located right by the Hollywood Walk of Fame if you like to spend more time. thank you
Sammy the tour guide was...
Jane_L, Oct 2023

Paul_E, Oct 2023
For me the Guitar Centre. My Good Lady loved the Celebrity homes. Although Having her pic taken outside the Oppenheimer Shop..probably her highlight..🤣
Response from Host, Nov 2023
So nice you enjoyed the celebrity homes tour, Thank you for your feedback.
Great tour
Brandi_R, Sep 2023
My husband and I enjoyed the tour a lot. It was very informative. It helped see things faster than driving and parking to see each thing on our own.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Our tour is the best way to get around the city, thank you for booking with us.
