What are people saying about Los Angeles

Craig_S, Jun 2026

Titus was awesome!!!

Our tour guide was awesome! Titus was so knowledgeable and entertaining. He kept our group involved by asking where each of us were from and what brought us to Los Angeles. Overall, a great experience, in big part because of our tour guide. I recommend this trip. You will see a lot of cool things.

Best of LA: Hollywood, Griffith, Santa Monica, Venice, and Rodeo

Tammey_W, Jun 2026

North Carolinians love LA

Our driver was GREAT. Showed us all the highlights as we drove. The time at each location was a little too short or too long (like I wanted more time in Beverly Hills and less time at the observatory—once you get your pics it’s done.) Otherwise great driver, great highlights!

Hollywood Sign 2.5-Hour Tour with Comedians and Their Dogs

Tierra_R, Jun 2026

Thanks Jon!

Jon was incredibly knowledgeable and kept the tour fun with his sense of humor. He also takes amazing photos, so there’s really no need to pay for pictures at the top of the trail. One tip: bring cash for gratuities. The only challenge was parking. We parked at a Park & Ride lot and took a Lyft to the meeting location, which worked out well. If you don’t want to deal with extra parking fees, I recommend taking a Lyft or Uber directly to the meetup spot.

Hollywood Heights

This tour was filled with amazing sights and historical information. We loved seeing things in LA and Hollywood connected with the Stars. We went all over. We even went to Santa Monica pier. We hung out awhile before heading back. We had a blast! We recommend this tour highly.

Don't hesitate do it!

So informative and a great way to take it all in in a day! LA is huge and there is so much to see that this is the perfect way to get all the highlights in and plan to return for more time another day if you like. The stops were roughly 45 minutes so plenty to capture photos and a coffee or snack. The meal break at the Farmers Market was longer and we had a lovely sitdown meal and still had time to wonder. Our guide John made this experience the perfect first day in LA!

WB Studio Tour

Excellent tour! Parts of the tour are self-paced, allow yourself plenty of time to enjoy the exhibits. Very professional and informative staff. We expected the tour to be a bit cheesy, and it was in parts, but the behind the scenes looks and explanations of all the contributors to a movie/show was excellent. Highly recommend!

Excellent Tour

Our driver Abel gave us a wonderful tour of Los Angeles, the Farmer’s Market, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, the Santa Monica Pier, and Venice Beach. Abel was very knowledgeable and showed us things we wouldn’t have seen on our own. It was a great day and well worth the money. We highly recommend this tour!

Hollywood and Celebrity Homes Bus Tour

Suzanne_H, Apr 2026

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.
