Traveler Tips


The top is open which is great, but know that it can get very cold up in the hills so I'd recommend bringing a warm sweater and maybe even a knit hat to keep ears warm too.
There is plentiful parking available in structures about a block away.
It gets super chilly up in the hills in the morning with the air blowing through the open bus.

Great Tour and our guide was awesome
Chris_A, Mar 2024
We had a great experience on this tour. We saw all the sites and our guide Mr. Hollywood was great. He had lots of knowledge of the area and made things really exciting.
Best experience ever!
Erinn_B, Mar 2024
Literally the best experience and our tour guide was wonderful! So funny but very educated! He knew a lot of extras and his goal was very much to show us the cool LA things ❤️ We saw so many celebrity homes, he allowed time for photos, and shared stories about life in LA. We also never felt rushed at all. Finally, when we arrived, they were prepared for us and there was no confusion - simple and easy process, despite the craziness of Hollywood Blvd. I can’t remember our guide’s name (Rob?) but I would highly recommend this tour. A++++ Oh! Parking! We had never been and were lost as to where to park. I pulled up at another tour guide in his bus and he was so helpful in showing us where to go. Just a really nice company.
It was a great...
Lilibeth_S, Mar 2024
It was a great experience. The tour guy was very nice and did a goof job. I would come back and do it all over again.
JUSTIN BIEBER
Leila_i, Mar 2024
Ive taken this tour before and i took my friend on it when she came to visit and I am from La and i discovered a whole new side of La I didnt know existed! The sides of the bus were open and we took very good pictures. We even waved at the people in the restaraunts and they waved back. We might have seen Justin Bieber either way we saw a green Ferrari.
SUNNY DAY IN LA
Gary_D, Mar 2024
I was hesitant to buy because I read some bad reviews. But boy, was I glad I took this tour!!! Kent was very informative and enthusiastic. He lives for Hollywood and clearly loves his job. We saw everything! View from mountains..Rodeo Drive...Sunset Strip and lots and lots of houses. We saw actor William H. Macy walking his dog.
Horrrrrrribleeeee!!!
Bree_S, Mar 2024
2.5 hours of my life I can’t get back. Saw no houses, only talked about restaurants, and learned nothing. you can drive to all of these places on your own!!!! Don’t. Do. It.
Jhonny was very rude
Ahmad_J, Feb 2024
Jhonny wasnt sure about all the locations. He was not friendly at all and was actually very rude. I’ve been on this tour before and had a good experience and it looks like it has gone downhill since the last time I went on it. I do not recommend at all please look for a different tour bus.
Not Worth It
Kevin_B, Feb 2024
It was torrential rain and the tour continued with no rain protection. Should have been cancelled or moved to a bus with windows. The tour itself it also poor, if you want to see roofs of houses for more modern celebs and lots of dead celebs houses, this tour is perfect.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Please try us when it's sunny and we promise you, that open buses are the only way to have fun.
Terrible and frozen
Caitlin_O, Feb 2024
Guy talked about himself the entire time. Went way over allotted time- we were freezing. Seemed more concerned talking about how he dreams of being in Hollywood.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Freezing weather in an open bus Is not fun, Please come see us when it's sunny and warm: this time on us.
Best Hollywood / Beverly Hills tour yet!!
Clint_B, Jan 2024
Kent showed us a well-rounded view of Hollywood Bowl, view of Hollywood sign, Mulholland Drive, Laurel Canyon, Beverly Hills Hotel, celebrity homes in Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive & Beverly Hills city center, Hollywood hot spots, & Hollywood Hills celebrity homes. He knows his stuff and had a wealth of information to share all along the way that made it so interesting and fun! This was my third time doing one of these tours … first with this company … and this was definitely the best yet. Thanks Kent, we loved it!! :)
Tour guide can make all the difference in this one was terrible
Peggy_S, Jan 2024
Didn't care for the tour guide. He made an appropriate comments and jokes when there were children on board. Also this tour was nothing like the one I took 10 years ago. I guess things are different now where you can't actually go by the celebrity homes. Just view it from it far. Far distance in a quick drive by where you cannot take photos to remember what you saw. I feel it was a total waste of money and I did not tip , and I'm usually a great tipper
Worth it
Casey_M, Dec 2023
Super informative and lively tour guide, perfect for someone like me visiting from out of town. I really felt steeped in the juicy gossip of the celebrity real estate that is such a fascinating and distinctive feature of this part of the country. It was just the right length and enjoyed the views going at sunset time. Definitely got my moneys worth.
Great Experience!
andreka_w, Dec 2023
It was a great experience! The driver was super fun & you can tell he loves what he does! The tour was insightful & we were able to view a lot of fun
Definitely do this tour!
Audra_M, Nov 2023
Had a good time on the bus tour. Great way to see several areas of the Los Angeles area! Our guide was awesome! He was very funny and informative! Would definitely recommend this bus tour!
Loads of fun
Catherine_B, Nov 2023
The guide was so passionate about his work and we saw what we wanted to see. He knew where he was going and a good driver. Great value for money.
disappointment
Gabriel_M, Oct 2023
The ad is a denial! He says he has stops, mentioning tickets for each. However you stay 2 hours without getting off the bus, the driver does not stop talking and makes unnecessary jokes I’m waiting for my refund! I bought another tour with another agency for tomorrow that says it has stops and tickets too, I hope not to have the same disappointment and inconvenience!
Response from Host, Oct 2023
We do stop and let guests take pictures as much as we can unless it’s unsafe to do so.
Great time!
Mark_A, Oct 2023
Our guide had specific imformation about the stops and was very friendly answering questions. Took us to the cool important areas.

Darrin_S, Oct 2023
It was fun to see the homes of the movie stars. The open air of the van made it much easier to take in the whole experience of being in Hollywood and Beverly Hills. Mighty Mike was fun and funny.
Run to another tour
Courtney_H, Oct 2023
We our tour was suppose to start at 4:30pm, the people selling the tour kept telling the guide to wait bc there was a party of 6 coming, they waited 25mins for a party that never showed. Everyone on the tour was complaining about having to wait. Then the tour needed at 6:15 when it should have ended at 6:30p. They didn’t make up the miss time. You couldn’t even really take pictures bc the tour guide drove to fast. Will not do this tour again
Response from Host, Oct 2023
We are guilty . The reason: we were waiting for a group of six. They said they were parking and there is no tour after 4:30 pm. We try to accommodate everyone, when we can but this time it backfired . We apologize. Please try us again; on us.
Excellent tour
Kimeiko_S, Oct 2023
