We had a great time, Bing was friendly and very knowledgeable. She gave us time for pictures, lunch, and we saw a lot of LA. We even got to walk the Oscar's red carpet! It was a nice small group (only 8 of us)! I would highly recommend this tour.

10/10 would recommend! This tour gave us everything we wanted to see, and more. We had the amazing Bing as our tour guide, she was the best! Such a friendly, lovely, and knowledgeable guide. Pick up from the location was easy, and her communication about logistics for each spot was perfect- letting us know the ‘do’s and don’ts’ and where to meet her/ how long we had to explore each stop. Have already recommended this tour to friends:) thank you again Bing! You made our day in LA one to remember!

Great LA city tour

Steven_R, Jan 2026

The tour lasted about 5 hours and was a great way to see the highlights of the area around downtown Los Angeles. The guide we had was Paul and he was knowledgeable and friendly and had lots of stories pertaining to all the places we went to visit. We are long term Californians but from near San Francisco so we have never spent time in downtown LA. It was a nice pace and we were able to see lots of different aspects of the city and not just the tourist attractions. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting this city.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Steven, thank you for your kind words. We truly appreciate you recognizing that our tours are about more than just the typical tourist experience. Since 1988, we’ve taken great pride in sharing the history, culture, and stories that make Los Angeles unique. Paul will be thrilled to hear your feedback—our guides bring years of knowledge and passion to every tour. We also love welcoming guests from Northern California and showing LA from a different perspective. Thanks again for the recommendation, and we hope to see you back soon!

Fun introduction to LA

Kevin_P, Jan 2026

Bing, our tour guide was fabulous! She knew the city inside out and was so helpful and gave us so much fun information about the history and current happenings of downtown LA, Hollywood and Beverly Hills. We enjoyed the observatory and got to see all the cool places that celebrities have frequented for years. It was entertaining and we learned so much! We enjoyed eating at the farmers market. It was unusually rainy on our tour, but we were very comfortable in the van. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Tour to Get the Most

Addison_H, Nov 2025

Bing was a knowledgable and caring tour guide! She gave it to you how it was and didn’t bull. She showed us all over LA and even gave us some insider knowledge on film locations, real estate knowledge, and celebrity info. My advice is to get the most out of your time- take a tour. And this one is the perfect one because they’re not trying to sell you on fake celebrity sightings and house hunting. This is a legit tour about the rich (emphasis on rich) history of the city and surrounding districts. I would listen to the tour again just to go with Bing!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Hi Addison, thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and honest review of your tour experience. You’re absolutely right—there’s no “bull” on our tours. We focus on real history, real facts, and the true story of Los Angeles. I’m proud to say that our Grand City tour, is the longest running daily sightseeing tour in Los Angeles, having started back in 1988. Over the decades, our guides have built a deep knowledge of the city’s history, culture, architecture, and neighborhoods. We’re also fortunate to have team members with extensive backgrounds in real estate, which adds an extra layer of insight to the experience. Many guests are surprised to discover just how rich and interesting Los Angeles really is—it goes far beyond Hollywood. We love blending the current highlights with the city’s deep historical roots to offer a complete, authentic tour. I shared your wonderful review with Bing, and she sends her warmest thanks. She truly enjoyed having you on board and wishes you continued happy travels. Warm regards
