Iconic LA

bawmcdonald, Aug 2023

This was a nice tour of everything you think of when you think of LA. Eric is very knowledgeable and a good photographer. It would have been nice to walk around LA Live but other than that, I wouldn't change a thing!

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thank you very much for your positive review. Eric

Lou was the real deal. He abundantly shared local knowledge and personal experience throughout the tour. The tour stops were spot on with ample photo opportunities. The tour vehicle was very clean and driving safety a top priority. I would recommend without hesitation.

Words can’t express the great time we had! Lou (our driver and guide) was amazing beyond belief. Pick up was perfect, so knowledgeable, and professional. Took us to all the top spots, hop on and off at certain locations. Took lots of pictures for us and sent them to us later that day. Van was brand new and so comfortable, had AC and he offered cold bottles of water. Lunch was at an amazing locations that we could pick what kind of food we wanted! Def an all day tour so prepare yourself! Thanks so much for a great time!

Hollywood tour

Gale_P, Feb 2020

The tour was well organized and informative. The stops were well planned and fun. The only thing missing was a microphone in the van. Eric was so hard to hear and it would have been so much better if we could have heard all of the information that he talked about.

Hollywood

Romilda_B, Sep 2019

We enjoyed this fabulous tour. Lou, our tour guide, is extremely knowledgeable about the area and sights we saw. We took lots of pictures. We especially enjoyed Universal CityWalk where we got to meet Tanika Ray. This tour was a very unique experience. Thank you, Lou.
