Small group tour that took us to the sights of LA. Steve, the driver, was very knowledgable and gave us so much info whether it be the history or gossip of the areas we visited. His recall of facts was amazing! This tour incorporated everything I wanted to see in LA plus some extras. Well worth the money.

    The Hollywood City Tours full-day experience was absolutely incredible! We got to see all the iconic spots. From the stunning Santa Monica Pier and the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame to the glamorous streets of Beverly Hills, the breathtaking views at Griffith Observatory, and the vibrant Farmers Market. A huge shoutout to Alana, our driver and guide, who truly made the day unforgettable. Her storytelling skills, fun personality, and deep knowledge of Los Angeles brought every stop to life. She kept the group entertained and informed the entire time. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to experience the best of LA in one day!

    Hollywood/Santa Monica Tour

    Gina_P, Mar 2026
    If you're looking to view the surrounding area I highly recommend doing this tour, as driving around in traffic can be pretty hectic if doing it yourself. I was able to see and experience pretty much everything I wanted to on this tour. Highly recommend it.

    Sammy was a delightful...

    I was NOT allowed to board as you over booked and spoiled my entire day as I was stranded. Very disappointing

    ATUL_S, May 2025
    I was NOT allowed to board as you over booked and spoiled my entire day as I was stranded. They put me into a 2 Hrs stupid useless tour. Very disappointing my only day trip to LA got wasted. The money should be refunded. I spent 80 $ to and fro to reach the meeting point for not getting boarded due to the providers mistake.

    Great time

    Well planned and ample time for sightseeing. Good insights and practical information . Knowledgeable guide

    Sloppy operations with a dirty, destroyed seats can!

    Shirley_K, Feb 2025
    I got into the van and the seats were ripped, worn and sooty!!!!Gross! Ok, overcome! The driver Alana with headset(microphone) was talking so loud, I had to put ear plugs, which didn’t help much! When I speak for a living you don’t say things that are not necessary. I heard the word, “guys”, I’m going left! Guys, we will be …..7 hours? I heard “guys” in every sentence. Haha, I was the only female there, fine. We would go thru many rough areas of LA. I would have liked to hear a little history of even the slummy areas. I heard everything she mentioned, except Griffin Park. $99.00 no water and the office, starting point, was like” I’m here to get the tourist!” It rained all day, no glass on windows. If we had a full load, many would have gotten soaked! I thought if the van would be open, A/C, heat??? I think the company should have that covered….Safety? The van was very high, for all types of ppl, there should have been a stepping stool. We picked her husband up, and he even mentioned, “I would of helped ppl in and out of van..” I think I only tipped…

    Response from Host, Feb 2025

    We are truly sorry to hear about the issues you encountered, from the condition of the van to the loudness of the guide’s microphone. We take your feedback seriously and will immediately address the concerns about vehicle cleanliness and comfort. It’s unacceptable that the seats were in poor condition, and we will ensure that this is fixed for future tours.

    New Year Holiday Tour

    Tingting_Y, Jan 2025
    The guider, Samy was very kind and helpful, he took care of everyone very well! On the way, he talked about many stories about tourist attracts that were very interesting and amazing. Samy is an very experienced guider and driver. We scheduled to view Hollywood Sign and Griffith Observatory at the end of tour but the traffic was too heavy, so Samy drove us to another side where we could see Hollywood Sign clearly and overlook the whole city, and he pointed out many houses of famous stars during uphill. As a result, the tour was a little later than scheduled, but Samy was very responsible to show us scenery view as much as he can. As a suggestion, you should schedule another day to visit Beverly Hills if you want to take photo with Beverly Hills and shopping in Rodeo Drive, not a tour, because there was little time stopped here. And there is a City Hall on the opposite of Beverly Hills, I highly recommended which is a very fantastic architecture. This is only my experience as I visit there on the day before tour.

    Response from Host, Feb 2025

    Windy ratty tour

    Alexandra_P, Oct 2024
    The driver/guide was amazing - very friendly, funny and knowledgeable and this is the only reason I give 2 stars However the open bus was horrible- the rattiest means of transportation ever The no windows concept to save a few bucks on AC made people sick - the air draft was very strong and uncomfortable

    Response from Host, Feb 2025

    hello, thank you for the feedback however we do advertise all of our tour vans are open air we cannot control the weather

    Best way to see Los Angeles without the driving hassle 👌

    Fayon_M, Oct 2024

    Worst experience

    Rathnakara_R, Jun 2024
    They sold the ticket when they knew there ate road closings..we couldn't get to the bus. They didn't call to check... I will not recommend this tour. They left without us and on top of ut tgey ask to rate their survey.

    Response from Host, Oct 2024

    We're truly sorry to hear about your experience and the inconvenience caused by the road closures. We understand how frustrating it must have been to miss the tour due to circumstances beyond your control. Your feedback is important to us, and we will review our communication practices to improve in the future.

    Overpriced

    Varun_V, May 2024
    It looked like we spent more time in traveling than visit different places Tour guide was good We could have visited more than 4 places

    Response from Host, Oct 2024

    Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you found the tour guide good, but we apologize that the travel time felt longer than expected. We appreciate your suggestion about visiting more places and will take it into consideration as we work to improve our tours. Your input is valuable to us, and we hope you’ll consider joining us again in the future!

    Okay, but could've been better.

    Brandon_G, Apr 2024
    This tour was okay. I honestly expected a bit more since it's such a long tour. They initially wasn't even going to do the Hollywood Walk of Fame so if you plan to take this tour, I would definitely recommend making sure that's prior to you booking this, you understand that is or is not part of the tour. I honestly would recommend other tours.

    Response from Host, Oct 2024

    Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the tour didn’t meet your expectations and that there was confusion about the Hollywood Walk of Fame. We appreciate your insights and will work on improving our communication regarding the tour itinerary.

    Driving down the freeway...

    Carol_L, Mar 2024
    Driving down the freeway in an open sided vehicle definitely not fun and the guide wasn’t used to the specific tour so wasn’t very informative

    Response from Host, Oct 2024

    We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your feedback about the open-sided vehicle and the guide’s familiarity with the tour. Your input is important to us, and we will address these concerns to improve our future tours. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and we hope you'll consider giving us another chance.

    Thoroughly enjoyed - 1 Day (7 hours)

    Iasa_T, Mar 2024
    Great Tour for a first time visit to LA, just don’t expect too much to do at each stop of the tour other than photo ops and lunch as you only get limited time at each stop. Alana (Guide) was very knowledgeable and offered and made the tour enjoyable. The group was nice and small so it made the tour easier to enjoy. Tip if your tour is full, sit on the right hand side of bus (window seat) most of the sights you guide refers to is on the right hand side of the vehicle, also try not to sit in aisle seats or middle on back seat if tour is full you’ll end up with obstructed views. If your phone needs charging after the amount of photos you take..take a portable charger or ask the driver if they have a charger on board - thank goodness for Alana.

    Response from Host, Oct 2024

    Thank you for the thoughtful review! We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed your tour as a first-time visitor to LA and found Alana to be knowledgeable and engaging. We appreciate your tips for future guests—those are great insights! We hope you captured lots of memorable photos and that you’ll consider joining us again on your next visit!

    Great!

    Jan_P, Jan 2024
    The Tour guide Sammy (aka Sally) made the tour experience great. He shared his wealth of information while in transit as well at the various destinations. If you have only one full day to see L.A. this is the tour hands down. It covers all the key sites, provides enough time at each stop. Lots of photo opportunities overall good fun experience.

    It was okay.

    JoEllan_A, Jan 2024
    The tour guy was nice but mumbled — I couldn’t understand what he was saying. The “market” was really just a food court. I enjoyed the observatory. Nice to quickly see Hollywood.

    Response from Host, Feb 2025

    It sounds like you had a mixed experience on your tour. While the tour guide’s mumbling made it hard to follow along, it’s great to hear that you enjoyed the observatory and got a chance to see Hollywood quickly. The food court as a "market" can be a bit misleading, but hopefully, there were some tasty options to try.

    Worth it

    Hema_P, Dec 2023
    Great tour. We cover most of the attractions. Each stop they gave us enough time to explore. We had fun.

    Response from Host, Feb 2025

    It sounds like you had a fantastic time on the tour! It's always enjoyable when there's ample time to explore each attraction.

    Cancelled stops

    Eldon_N, Dec 2023
    Several stops were cancelled. No stops to Hollywood, West Hollywood, or Beverly Hills. We made out of the way stops to pick up guests that took time out of our day. The office was locked up early and we were dropped off at a random parking lot to catch an Uber.

    Response from Host, Feb 2025

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the disruptions to your experience, including the canceled stops and the unexpected changes to your schedule. We understand how frustrating this must have been and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
