Mike_H, Sep 2026

Hollywood Hike.

I completed the 2.5-hour Hollywood Sign tour to the top, and it was an amazing experience! The views were incredible, and the entire trip was enjoyable. Our guide, Jon, was very kind, knowledgeable, and provided great information throughout the tour. He is also an excellent photographer, highly skilled and happy to take as many pictures as you like. 📸 Jon is the best, I highly recommend this tour.

Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood

Kimberly_W, Sep 2026

The Warner Bros. Studio...

The Warner Bros. Studio tour was lots of fun. Our tour guide gave us lots of interesting information about the sets, but I think I enjoyed the enjoyed the unguided portion the most! I'm a huge fan of both Harry Potter and Batman. Seeing all of the different iterations of Batman costumes was thrilling for me, but my favorite part was being "sorted" by The Sorting Hat! #TeamHufflepuff

Great tour, especially if you only have a few days to enjoy LA. We got to explore all the main spots, and our guide Jeff was awesome! Great knowledge not just about the area but about movies and music too (great soundtrack chosen for the tour, btw). Highly recommend it!

Ryan was great entertainment - very happy character! We arrived a few minutes late to our 10am bus due to personal medical reasons and was allowed to get the 12:30 bus later that day which was a big relief - thank you for this great method you have in place for when things go wrong!

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

Sgill42, Aug 2026

Excellent LA tour — and an even better tour guide!!

An excellent tour with just the right amount of time to see all the main sights in LA. Great value for money and a brilliant way to get a real feel for the city. But what really made this tour was our guide, Talib! From the moment we set off, he had us completely hooked. He shared fascinating facts and stories, but mixed them with his humour that we genuinely wanted to keep listening. He certainly kept us entertained, especially our son, which was fantastic to see! Talib was knowledgeable, funny, friendly and clearly passionate about what he does. Would absolutely recommend this tour, and if you get Talib as your guide, you’re in for a treat!

Excellent Trip!

This was my first trip to CA so took the tour and saw so much from the downtown L.A. to the Hollywood sign at the observatory, Santa Monica Pier, Venice Beach, Walk of Fame, Grauman's Chinese Theater, Beverly Hills, Bel Air and even a Mexican area that was the birth of L.A . It was wonderful! My friend and I had a great time and well worth the money. 5 Stars to our driver Shawn. He's the best!

The best tour experience ever

Sean was our tour guide and chauffeur. We were picked up on time, he explained the expectations of the trip, the time constraints and answered any questions we had. He is very knowledgeable about California, went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied. I would highly recommend Sean and VIP tours.

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.
