What are people saying about Los Angeles

Rita_D, Jul 2026

WB Studios tour fun

We had a really good time on the WB tour. Our guide, Aaron, was super knowledgeable and entertaining. He generously took several photos for me and my daughter and when he knew what sets we were most interested in, he pointed out the structures to watch for.

3 Hour Los Angeles Tour with 3 Stops

Elizabeth_M, Jul 2026

So close to the Hollywood sign!

We had limited time one one day to hit the LA sites and absolutely LOVED this tour! We ended up with another family of 3 and getting SO close to the Hollywood sign alone made it worth it! We loved our tour guides commentary, the video and music. He did a great job of pacing it and helping us see the sights. We woudl 100% recommend this again. Even if you have more time, if you want a fantastic view of the hollywood sign definitely do this one!

Just go for it!

Jon and Mozart were so fun and made the hike much more enjoyable and memorable- comedy came with effortless humor and fun facts as well as historical references. We were not rushed and always felt safe and comfortable. The journey to the very top of the mount was exhilarating and we'll never forget 😎

Titus was awesome!!!

Our tour guide was awesome! Titus was so knowledgeable and entertaining. He kept our group involved by asking where each of us were from and what brought us to Los Angeles. Overall, a great experience, in big part because of our tour guide. I recommend this trip. You will see a lot of cool things.

North Carolinians love LA

Our driver was GREAT. Showed us all the highlights as we drove. The time at each location was a little too short or too long (like I wanted more time in Beverly Hills and less time at the observatory—once you get your pics it’s done.) Otherwise great driver, great highlights!

Full-Day Iconic Sights of LA, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Beaches and More

Don't hesitate do it!

So informative and a great way to take it all in in a day! LA is huge and there is so much to see that this is the perfect way to get all the highlights in and plan to return for more time another day if you like. The stops were roughly 45 minutes so plenty to capture photos and a coffee or snack. The meal break at the Farmers Market was longer and we had a lovely sitdown meal and still had time to wonder. Our guide John made this experience the perfect first day in LA!

Excellent Tour

Our driver Abel gave us a wonderful tour of Los Angeles, the Farmer’s Market, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, the Santa Monica Pier, and Venice Beach. Abel was very knowledgeable and showed us things we wouldn’t have seen on our own. It was a great day and well worth the money. We highly recommend this tour!

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.

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.
