David_M, Nov 2026

Great day in L.A. In safe good hands no worries.

Nice small coach, very friendly and knowledgeable driver named Joe. Same seat the whole tour 8 hour tour about an hour every stop. You would not experience all the places. Also the driver Joes banter made it interesting . Would highly recommend very good value for the dollars.

Five Stars for Michaela and Mozart!

Had a fantastic morning hike with Michaela and her sweet companion, Mozart. I loved learning about the local history along the way and Michaela was a wonderful photographer who helped me capture some great memories. This is an absolute must do when visiting LA.

Los Angeles 3-Hour City Tour with 3 Stops

Tina_S, Nov 2026

Nice tour

It was fun. The roads in LA are rough so the back of the shuttle is not the best place to sit. It can be hard to take pictures in a moving bus. There were 3 stops to get good pictures but I recommend sitting beside the window for better pictures. Mario, the tour guide was great.

Best of Los Angeles Guided City Tour with 4 Stops and Free Time

This is a great tour if...

This is a great tour if you want to get little snippets of LA’s most iconic landmarks and places like Beverly Hills, the Hollywood Sign, Griffith Observatory, Santa Monica Pier, Farmers Market, and The Grove. You get 4 stops with around 30–45 minutes at each, which gives you a good feel for the places and helps you decide where you’d like to revisit. So, I’d definitely recommend taking this tour early in your vacation. Our amazing driver and guide, Jeff, talked us through everything from historical facts to celebrity gossip throughout the ride, which made it so much fun. And his dad jokes were especially on point 😂 The moral of the tour? Keep your expectations low in life, according to Jeff’s wise words. Although, to be fair, he was way above our expectations!

Kenny was a amazing tour guide ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Amazing Experience from Start to Finish

We had an amazing experience, and a huge part of that was our tour guide, Kenny! He truly made the entire experience unforgettable. His energy, personality, and the way he made the tour enjoyable made everything that much better. I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone, and I would especially encourage people to book because of Kenny! The staff checking us in were also amazing, the bathrooms were clean, and the merchandise was reasonably priced. Everything was a great experience from beginning to end. I’ll definitely be back and would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great time. Kenny, keep being amazing at what you do! You definitely made this experience one to remember!

Delia_C, Oct 2026

Fantastic Tour!

I had a full day before my red eye flight back to Florida. This tour packs in a lot of sites that I myself could not have pulled off being a tourist. Abel the tour guy is very knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. He extended a lot of courtesy a few times when tourist didn’t arrive back to the bus in time for the next site. I also met some great people on the tour. We had a blast sharing the experience. I highly recommend this tour to see as much as you can in one day! Oh and wear comfy shoes you’ll be doing a lot of walking between sites.

Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood

Kyle_M, Sep 2026

WB - what a day!

We were told that the tour takes approximately two hours, but the only time constrained portion of the tour was the shuttle ride around the 110 acre lot. The remainder was exploring the many different areas of the studio. We spent over three hours and I could have spent more, but my wife wanted lunch. The Central Perk Cafe would have been a perfect spot, but she had other plans and wouldn’t let me cancel her reservation. As for highlights, the entire experience was a highlight! From soaking in the memorabilia and film clips in the waiting area to seeing the fountain used in the opening of Friends to sitting in Sheldon’s spot on the couch to the Batman and Harry Potter exhibits, it is all amazing and well worth the price of admission. If I am ever fortunate enough to return to Los Angeles, I will visit Warner Brothers again.

Hollywood and Celebrity Homes Bus Tour

Suzanne_H, Apr 2026

Great tour for visitors to see a lot in a short amount of time.

Friendly tour guides. There were clean restrooms at the meet up location along with snacks and beverages for purchase. This tour is best for sitting back and enjoying things, not so much for getting photos. Our guide, George, made everyone feel welcome and kept everyone fully engaged throughout the tour. His information was informative, appropriate, and enjoyable. We drive way up high into the hills and passed several celebrity homes. We also drove through Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, and ended at Hollywood Walk of Fame. Our guide stopped at one location to allow everyone to get out and take a few photos. This is an Open air vehicle, so being a jacket and hair tie. We covered a lot of ground and it was great for first time visitors who have very little time to see everything! He allowed us to choose to get out near the Chinese theater or continue back to the tour company. This was very convenient for my party to explore that area just a little longer. He also offered three great suggestions for guests to spend the reminder of their evening in the area. I highly recommend this tour.
