What are people saying about La Brea Tar Pits

Scott_S, Jul 2026

Great experience

Luce did a great job! We had a blast and he made us feel safe bringing our teens on Segways for the first time. He made it fun, interesting, and informative. The local sights and tar pits were fun to see. Definitely recommend.

Christina_C, May 2024

Fun way to see Beverly Hills and La Brea

Jose was a great guide. Pointed out some hidden gems in Beverly Hills and explained some of the film industry processes from an insider’s perspective. And of course seeing all that by Segway is the most fun way to do it!
