The entire trip was great if you want a comprehensive view of LA. The tour guide we had, Matt, was engaging and knowledgeable. Plus, we didn't have to drive! 10/10 would recommend.

Our guide Gregory was good, but the overall planning felt very disorganized. The guide and the bus driver couldn't decide if they were working together. While the driver was fine, they didn't communicate very well after.
When I emailed the tour company, I asked if there was a good place to park near the meeting place, and I got an email two hours before the meeting time telling me to use "Spot Hero". Not a good experience.
Otherwise, good content, well spaced out. Wish there was a better stop-over somewhere for lunch.

It's a great tour for visitors and locals that don't want to drive all over twin. Brian our guide was fabulous!

I thought the tour guide was very good. I believe his name was Gregory. He was entertaining and made a point of chatting with each person on the tour. When we were driving through Hollywood he was very knowledgable about the area & pointed out many interesting places. He also made sure everyone knew where to meet up again when visiting the Gerry Centre and Griffith Observatory. Very unfortunate that the traffic leading up to the Observatory was bumper to bumper so our time there was very limited as I found it very interesting and would love to have spent more time there.

Great 6-hr tour about LA - covering dino bones/freeways as aqueducts/rock n roll legends/creepy men/lore behind the Hollywood sign/great tacos/intercontinental kidnappings/mind-blowing art/luscious gardens/California cosmic realizations and more! ✨🏝️🙌. Plus, it’s air conditioned.
Our guide, Estevan 😎, was very knowledgeable and insatiably curious about his hometown of Los Angeles. I
He brought the place to life with all the insider stories of money/murder/movies. Also, we got an epic Hollywood photo I will treasure 💎 for a lifetime. Thank you, Estevan, for making our trip special and awesome!
P.S. If you love great stories, museums, cosmic scenarios, Rock n roll, tacos, & sightseeing — while in air conditioning and without having to drive/park! Look no more! 😎🙌✨

Never book this tour. Whatever is written, tour operator does not stop on those points. If you ask for refund, they just escape
My sincere request to everyone to never book this tour
Response from Host, Jan 2024
I'm a bit confused about this review. I see you requested a refund a few hours before it started saying you had canceled your trip. We are not able to refund cancellations within 24 hours but we certainly could have rescheduled you. Please contact us if there's been a misunderstanding! Thanks, Dara

Very friendly tour guide, gave lots of info about the different spots. Bus was nice but a bit noisy. Without mic, guide was sometimes hard to understand. But in general a very good recommendable tour.
