I had an amazing hike to...

I had an amazing hike to the top of the Hollywood sign with our guide Michaela. She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience enjoyable. She patiently clicked photos for us until we were completely satisfied and explained everything about the tour really well. Highly recommend!

I was extremely impressed...

I was extremely impressed with the attention to detail and pre-tour communications we recieved from A Day In LA Tours. They kept us informed in every step so we always knew expect with hotel pick up leading up to the start of the actual tour. Jeff our tour guide was excellent very informative and knowledgeable about every aspect of the tour. He gave clear and concise instructions at every stop. The tour was a jam packed day with sufficient time at each stop to explore the attractions. I would highly recommend this tour to all first-time visitors to the LA area it covered everything on our wish list!

Remarkable Tour of L.A. and Surroundings

Able was our driver and our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable on just about every aspect of the tour. Very friendly and even made a few side sights not originally planned. It was quite obvious that Able is very passionate about educating and informing tourists in a light hearted and fun way. As we approached the final leg of the tour we were split into 2 groups depending on where we were picked up. The group we were in ( LAX Group) were picked up by Jose in another tour van. Jose was another guide that seemed to be very excited and knowledgeable in the areas we passed on the way to our drop off spot. Overall the tour was a 5 star experience and very reasonably priced My wife and I highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Definitely worth the price of admission.

Great tour! Our tour guide (I think his name was Brett) was terrific and provided tons of behind-the-scenes information like which scene in Friends was shot on a particular street, etc. He was also super friendly and helpful. We took our time going through the self-guided parts of the tour and it took us about 2.5 hours. We were in the first tour group of the day in before it got crowded so we might have made our way through things faster than some. Remember, this is a true studio tour - no theme rides so if you're looking for rides, go up the hill to Universal. At the WB tour, you see lots of interesting things, pick up a few movie or TV trivia facts and have a great time. I highly recommend!

Hollywood, Beverly Hills & Celebrity Homes Tour by Open Air Bus

So happy we went

We had such a good time. The staff was so accommodating. We were visiting from Washington and running a little late so we called and let them know. Granted there was a little 5 minute grace period but still we were going to get very close to that with parking and walking to the building. I can’t say they waited but they might have stalled a little and when we got there we even had time to run in and pee even. So grateful as we were so excited to go. The guide was funny and sweet we loved him.

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.
