Expect the unexpected

So we were greeted with a nice cold bottle of water. Our guide Justin gave us a tour like no other. There was singing and dancing and an interactive experience that I wasn't expecting. I was traveling with my sister and cousins. Justin took pictures and ensure we had a good time even during congested traffic moments.

Solo hike! Great experience!

I had such an amazing experience on this Hollywood Sign hike! I was traveling solo, and from the very beginning I felt completely comfortable, welcomed, and safe. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, fun to talk to, and kept the entire hike entertaining the whole time. The views were absolutely worth it, but what really made the experience special was the energy and professionalism of the guide. He made sure everyone was having a good time while also sharing interesting facts and stories throughout the hike. As someone traveling alone, I really appreciated how easygoing and inclusive the atmosphere felt. I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting LA — especially solo travelers looking for a fun, memorable, and well-organized adventure!

Wonderful tour

Many steps/stairs are involved, so be warned. Estaben was our guide and is extremely knowledgeable. Only problem--so much info to cover in 1.5 hrs.--forced Estaben to speak very quickly. Also, due to crowd noise, perhaps a system with headphones, ear buds or something as it was easy to miss something.

On the 29th of March I...

On the 29th of March I did the Hollywood Sign Hike to the front and back. Jon was my tour guide. He was leading and it was me and 9 others. Jon was a spectacular tour guide. 10 out of 10 for sure. He was a cool and fun person to be around. He gave us plenty of knowledge plus at times there was good general chit chat. He was very pleasant in all aspects. Thank you Jon for being an awesome tour guide and thank you to Bikes And Hikes LA for having this tour run. Thank you again. Much appreciated.

Great Memorable Experience with Interesting History/Stories

The company allowed us to change times to earlier in the morning when it was cooler, since there were openings. It was a very unseasonably hot day, so this was really appreciated! In addition, Andy (our guide) had water and little fans to help out with the heat. He also checked on us if we lagged behind, gave us a heads up about things we might wonder about (like going through personal property being OK). Great exercise and views. Thanks so much!

Downtown Los Angeles History and Architecture Walking Tour

Great movie houses of Hollywood

Informative walking tour of downtown Los Angeles to visit the great movie theaters of the Hollywood era. Mark introduced us to the history behind the growth of a farming town that developed into one of the largest cities in the US. Fun stop at The Last Bookstore with a massive collection of new and used books, The Bradbury building with beautiful iron works of the early 1900s and a repurposed theater brought back to its glory by Apple.

Swan Boat Night Ride at Echo Park Lake

Girls trip

This was truly an experience! We had so much fun. Great girls trip night. Only down fall is reservations are a joke! If someone is planning this and a dinner they will be screwed on the time. If reservations are at 7. The. That’s what it should be. We get there at our allotted time only to have to wait for people that didn’t make reservations pay in line. Even though the young man asked did they have reservations they didn’t. That is not fair to those that did. My star rating is only for the fun so on my next review it will be a one star for sure.

Great time for all.

This was such a great time / experience. I came with my 8 year old and teenager. Both boys had a good time. We came late morning (11am) on a Friday. There were some school groups there but it was not crowded. We never had to wait in line or felt crowded. The staff is all very friendly and knowledgeable. On the interactive areas, my little one was timid and a little scared at first. The staff would pick up on it. They engaged him and made him feel comfortable. We will definitely be coming back.

Nabarun_N, Jul 2025

Great tour of Rich and Famous homes

We picked this tour because of high ratings and convenient start time which suited us. We got Manuel as our driver cum tour guide. He was full of insights and knowledge and an incredibly helpful guy! The tour covers most of the famous houses in the Hollywood Hills, Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive. We even drive by Sunset Strip. Being our first day in LA, this was a good ice-breaker tour which geared us up for the next few days in LA. Definitely recommend this to all tourists visiting LA.
