This was an amazing experience. For those of you who may be afraid of heights, you have nothing to fear. You will be in awe of the beautiful scenery while feeling totally secure.

Explore Palm Springs Celebrity Homes in Style

Tadd_K, Oct 2026

Palm-springs Celebrity home tour

We enjoyed our tour very much! Collin and Filepe were very kind and accommodating and generous. Golf carts were great. Homes were saw, stories and photos shared and info on each property was very interesting and well delivered. Most homes are from stars of prior generations which we expected, but there are a few pleasant surprises.

Joshua Tree Open Air Hummer Adventure

Stephanie_L, Oct 2026

We took the hummer tour...

We took the hummer tour from the Yucca valley welcome centre. Denise was such a personality, a great story teller and tour guide! The ride was very windy and bumpy (fun!). We made 3 stops in the park, focusing on the north/west side. Two stops were a short walk and view and one was a 0.4 mile easy trail, for all of which Denise covered history, geography, and plants and animals. The tour is a brief overview, rather than a complete deep dive. It does not cover the entire park (it’s so huge), so we had to drive back in and see a few more of the key sites that were not covered by the tour.

Alcatraz Inside Tour With Ferry, Free Audio and Night Option

Rick_W, Oct 2026

Alcatraz Review

This was a very nice trip. The tour staff was very kind and easy to speak with. The ferry ride was perfect and quick and the tour of Alcatraz itself was easy to get through. The ticketing instructions weren’t great however. The emails we received instructed us to go to an address on Beach Street beforehand in order to get the actual ticket needed for boarding. We went there as instructed but there was no business there. Meanwhile we received a text message with a QR code and the staff at the boarding area said that was all we needed. So, the ticketing process needs to be communicated better. The trip itself was great though.

Lake Tahoe Emerald Bay Scenic Cruise

Jennifer_E, Oct 2026

Scenery Gorgeous

The scenery was gorgeous and made this worth the money! Loved the history and information shared throughout also. We had two adults and two 13-year olds and took advantage of the food choices (we had chicken nachos and a burger). Food was good and the bartender was very personable and kept the line moving. Really enjoyed ourselves and the time on boat was just right (a little over 2 hours).

Monterey Whale Watching Tour

Loretta_M, Oct 2026

Amazing & Exciting Experience!

Such a wonderful experience! Not only was the crew amazing, kind, & informative. But, the boat was spacious & well maintained. We had a beautiful day & saw multiple humpback whales & a pod of 1,000 dolphins! It was amazing! The Naturalist on board was so informative & energetic she kept you easily engaged & informed with what you were seeing & where. All in all it was amazing day & we walked away so excited & happy we went!! Absolutely recommend!! 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Joshua Tree National Park Scenic Tour

John_W, Oct 2026

Denise was a wonderful...

Denise was a wonderful guide ! She was friendly and knowledgeable. We got to hike and walk a couple of trail. She showed us many of the highlights. The rock formations that looked like a Cap, Stonehenge and a Chaise lounger as well as many others. We saw what is believed to be the tallest Joshua Tree at the National Park . She explained the flora and how resilient the trees are . She had cold water and snacks available for us . It was a worthwhile tour and I would recommend it !

Wine Country Join-in Flight

David_G, Oct 2026

Perfect start to finish....

Perfect start to finish. Friendly and efficient registration and pre-flight. Our pilot Matteo was so informative and funny. The flight itself lifted off just as the sun rose and kept getting better: amazing views and narration. Smooth landing; professional ground crew. Absolutely worth the investment.

Paramount Pictures Studio Tour

John_B, Sept 2026

Movies behind the scenes at Paramount. An original

Loved this tour. For a short time we were immersed into the secrets of film making, sets, and the roles of those who make it happen. Our guide Zoe was wonderful. Her enthusiasm and knowledge made the experience come alive. No fancy rides and carousels, just a brilliant studio experience.

Downtown LA Lights: Your Private Sunset and Night Helicopter Tour

Jeffrey_S, Apr 2026

Best experience

I had an amazing experience with Anthelion Helicopters! It was my first helicopter ride and definitely unforgettable. The views were insane and seeing the coastline and city from above was something I’ve never experienced before. The ride felt smooth and safe the whole time. Our pilot was super friendly, explained everything clearly, and made us feel comfortable the entire time. Check in was easy and organized. I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a unique experience or planning something special.
