Great guide
Great your guide who was very funny
Small group tour around Hollywood
Due to bring in a mini bus though was unable to see some of the highlights or take photos of celebrities houses which was disappointing would have liked more stops even for a few seconds to be able to take the photos- unable to do this whilst driving
Would recommend

Unique Hollywood Experience!
I highly recommend this tour, as it's such a fun way to see the iconic Hollywood sign! Jon did a great job sharing interesting tidbits about the sights as we walked, and also took amazing photos. The hike is about 5 miles with a decent incline, but there's also an option to turn around after photos if you prefer a shorter experience.

Fun way to see LA
This tour was a great way to see some of LA’s most well-known spots. Not much time is spent in any one location, but it’s enough to snap some pictures and get an idea of where you might like to return. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, which made for an even better experience. The bus was clean and comfortable. This tour is overall a great value and a lot of fun.

Exceptional Hollywood and Celebrity Homes Bus Tour
Dave, our tour guide was fabulous. His local knowledge of LA, Hollywood and Beverly Hills was phenomenal and he knew more about all the celebrities and what they got up to than they know themselves.A wicked sense of humour, got us all talking to each other, and best of all, an excellent driver. I felt totally safe in that tour bus for the whole journey, even during the busiest period of the day. Highly recommended.

Great way to see Hollywood and the Stars homes
Titus, our guide was just wonderful! The tour was well run from the start, we met on time in front of the Shore hotel, quickly sorted into groups and off we went on a knowledgeable, funny and entertaining tour of Hollywood and Beverley Hills. The bus was very comfortable and airy. There was time for a toilet stop and to get a cold drink at the halfway point and around 15 mins free time to snap some pictures of the Hollywood sign and take in the walk of fame, when were dropped back afterwards, it was just a short walk to the Santa Monica Pier for more sightseeing and lunch. I highly recommend the morning tour, its cooler time of day and much less busy on the roads than the afternoons.

Do it! You'll love every minute!
Because of some of the negative reviews on here we almost canceled our reservation. I am sooooo thankful that we decided to keep it because it has been one of the best days of my life! I love the show Friends. My daughter is actually named Rachel because of Friends. I am a huge movie goer. I cannot put into words how fascinating it was to see how sitcoms and movies are made. Our tour guide, Jennifer, was outstanding! She was so knowledgeable. We learned so many things! She took pics for our group as well. If you are a Friends lover I especially highly recommend the cafe and the gift shop but even if you do not like Friends the tour is absolutely outstanding and fantastic and I highly recommend it ! My whole family enjoyed it! Do it!

Great day in LA
This was an excellent tour. We only had the day in LA before boarding a cruise ship and this was a great way to do a whistle stop tour of all the main attractions. The pickup arrived at the arranged time. The transport was very comfortable. Our driver was friendly and informative. We had a good amount of time at each stop, enough to see the main attractions and take photos etc, the lunch stop was plenty long enough for us to enjoy a sit down meal (this was our choice, we stopped at the farmers market, so there were multiple food options). I would highly recommend this tour, either for if you have limited time in LA like ourselves, or to get a taste of the different areas to decide where you’d like to revisit to spend longer and explore more.

Best Way to Spend the Day!!
Best 5.5 hours spent traveling and touring around LA, Hollywood, Santa Monica, and Beverly Hills! We saw and experienced so much without a care in the world! Our tour guide, Shaun, was outstanding!! He made the tour fun and interesting! Our kids are 18 and 4 - both loved the tour equally!! It’s perfect if you are wanting to see the most you can on your trip!

Fun and Interesting
It was overall an interesting experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and very fun. The drive was a bit dizzying with the sudden breaking but it added to the overall ambiance. The weather was a little hot (especially if you are sitting at the side near the door).

Highly recommended 10/10
We did a 7 hour tour…I would highly recommend Hollywood Tour! Alana was a fantastic tour guide. She was knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. She also communicated with us on what time to report back to the bus and gave restaurant suggestions for the market.

Amazing!!
10/10 would recommend! This tour gave us everything we wanted to see, and more. We had the amazing Bing as our tour guide, she was the best! Such a friendly, lovely, and knowledgeable guide. Pick up from the location was easy, and her communication about logistics for each spot was perfect- letting us know the ‘do’s and don’ts’ and where to meet her/ how long we had to explore each stop. Have already recommended this tour to friends:) thank you again Bing! You made our day in LA one to remember!

Lovely Saturday in Hollywood
Tommy our tour guide was an absolute joy. So nice, funny and very knowledgeable. We saw and learned so many new facts about Hollywood/Beverly Hills history. In addition to the stops listed, he took us all the way up and into the gorgeous Hollywood Hills to see celebrity homes and the Universal overlook. Would absolutely recommend!
Would suggest parking by the Hollywood and Hyland parking structure and walking to the meeting location to see more of the Chinese Theater, hand prints and boulevard sites.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Sprawling LA doesn’t have one city center (and it has some pretty gnarly traffic), so one of the best ways to see a specific area is to plan a Los Angeles day trip. Choose what you want to explore, be it the Hollywood sign, celebrity homes, Beverly Hills, the beaches, Hollywood, or more, and make a day of it. Either book a privately guided tour, or make some new friends by booking group bus tours, walking tours, or even a paddle-boat tour of La La Land.
