What are people saying about Los Angeles

Robert_R, Jul 2026

Incredible tour, and Ansley was phenomenal! 🙌

If you are a true crime buff or just fascinated by LA history, you have to book this tour. We spent about 3 hours cruising around North LA in a super cool, retro 80s Cadillac limousine, hitting up different Manson hangout spots and the actual locations where the two separate murder events took place. It covers a ton of ground, and the vibe of the vintage limo just adds so much to the whole experience. Our guide, Ansley, was phenomenal! I cannot praise her enough. She is extremely knowledgeable and did some seriously impressive historical deep dives into the backgrounds of everyone involved. But she also kept things super juicy and thought-provoking by breaking down some of the open conspiracy theories that still surround the case details. She kept us captivated the entire time. Just one quick caveat for future riders: the limo is a classic from the 80s, which means it has an older AC system. If you’re booking this on a scorching hot day and you don't handle the heat well, you might get a little warm in the back. Just something to keep in mind! Overall, an absolutely amazing ride. Ask for Ansley if you can!

The History and Architecture of Downtown Los Angeles

Nuria_M, Jul 2026

A must tour to learn and enjoy LA

It was a great tour. Chris, the guide, is extremely knowledgeable, helpful helping navigate the heat and personable. The tour starts and ends at the Grand Central Market and gives a very interesting experience looking at the city architecture (older and newer) and connecting it with Los Angeles rich history. It is a perfect tour to do early on your LA visit as it gives you good tips on what to visit in depth in terms of museums and venues

Small-Group Electric Bike Tour of Santa Monica and Venice Beach

Florence_L, May 2026

A Wonderful and Memorable Way to Discover Santa Monica & Venice Beach

I’m staying only a short time in Los Angeles/Santa Monica, and Barb’s e-bike tour was the perfect way to discover the main spots along the beaches of Santa Monica and Venice. She brings the places to life with stories and anecdotes, using photos she carries with her during the tour. Barb is very attentive to what you like (or don’t like) and takes the time to photograph you at all the must-see locations. Thank you, Barb, for this special experience that will remain one of my favorite memories of Los Angeles.

Seeing Hollywood by E-bike

This tour was great. My husband and I enjoyed every bit of it. From riding through the Hollywood Hills, cruising to The Grove and Farmers Market as well as the Holmby Hills.

Fabulous tour with Jeff!

In February, we toured with our private guide, Jeff Wynne, for several hours through wonderful winding residential and commercial areas and fantastic sightlines of the natural beauty of the LA area while using the location on our google map app to understand the areas we were driving through. All without having to rent a car or worry about the traffic or the preferences of other tourists! Jeff has a deep understanding of movie and tv studio evolution over decades and provided a very entertaining running commentary about the fabulous homes and those who have lived there. Our tour was based on our specific preferences for tourist sites to experience in person. Jeff’s encyclopedic knowledge of all things LA created a perfect tour for us on our first visit to the city
