Had a blast! Wonderful guide, Jon, and his pup Mozart, and the group of folks were great. Jon knows the history, injects lots of humour, and is a king with smartphone cameras (ask him for a dolly shot). Some really amazing sights and the hike is not difficult. Book it and enjoy!

This hike was amazing for good photos and memories. John is a great photographer he goes the extra mile to take great photos. The is also a great hike for beginners or people who don’t want to hike all the way to the top but still want good photos

Great Hike

Brittany_A, Mar 2026
We took the complete hike to behind the Hollywood sight it was an amazing hike. So beautiful and very informational. Monica and Jon and their sweet dog did a great job. Lots of great views and pictures. They were friendly and attentive and funny thanks so much.

Definitely Go!

Katherine_M, Mar 2026
We had a perfect day with Jon doing this hike. First, I think this would have been 10x more stressful if we hadn't had a guide. There are so many times where I would have gotten nervous and turned around if I tried to do this on my own. Second, Jon was a great guide: informative, funny, and really great with a handful of talkative kids. Definitely a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Everyone in the group was able to go at their own pace and drop off as needed with Jon pointing out landmarks so everyone could get back to where we started at any point. All of my kids raved about this saying it was "the best day of our lives" and "that tour guide was wonderful".

Excellent tour

Megan_K, Mar 2026
Michaela, Jon, and Mozart were fantastic. We had a large group but they were able to keep a nice pace everyone could manage. They took great photos of each group/individuals. The verbal history Jon gave with his comedic antics alone was worth the price but the dog Mozart was the major selling point for my animal loving 9 year old who hiked beside him almost the whole time. He was so sweet and took the hike from enjoyable to over the top wonderful! Would do it again in a heartbeat, highly recommend!

Hike to Hollywood sign

Gina_P, Mar 2026

Ryan_L, Feb 2026
Jon was a fantastic guide and very funny. He included history of the Hollywood sign and the area. He took fantastic photos of my wife and I at picturesque spots along the hike. His dog was an added plus! Overall really great experience.

Amazing!

Kishan_T, Feb 2026
Jon is a hilarious, supportive and friendly guide. The hike was perfect to capture the sights of the Hollywood sign and the LA skyline.

John you are amazing

Bikram_D, Feb 2026
I had an absolutely amazing experience with our tour guide, John! From start to finish, he was incredibly friendly, professional, and made the entire journey so enjoyable. The hike up to the Hollywood Sign was absolutely worth it — the views from the top are breathtaking and truly unforgettable. John made the day extra special with his great sense of humor — he’s a real comedian and kept everyone laughing throughout the trip. He also went above and beyond by dropping me off at Starbucks afterward so I could easily get an Uber, which I really appreciated. That thoughtful gesture says a lot about him. And I can’t forget to mention his adorable dog — so cute and such a fun part of the experience! I highly recommend John to any traveler visiting Los Angeles. He truly made my day and turned the journey into a fantastic memory. Thank you, John! BIKRAM from Nepal

Thanks Jon!

We did the shorter, first half of the tour. It was a nice walk. Well worth the views. Jon and Mozart were fun entertaining guides.

Great entertaining hike with amazing photos!

Our hike with Jon & Mozart

Lasinda_C, Jan 2026
This was a fantastic day!! Meeting both Jon & Mozart way such a treat 😁 What a unique and wonderful way to get a fantastic hike in and learn so many things about the area. Jon was so knowledgeable about so many different things and what a conversationalist! Whatever you do, make this part of your travel plans when you're coming to the area!

Joshua_L, Jan 2026
John was great on giving history about Hollywood sign and had a great personality. The best part was how helped with taking pictures, and let me tell you his pictures he took of my family were great. Would recommend john and his dog Mozart.

Trekking with Jon: Fun, Informative, and Memorable

Balachandu_P, Jan 2026
It’s really worth doing the trek with Jon. He’s a fun and great guy who explains everything very well, and he also takes amazing pictures. You’ll definitely love it.

Best kept secret in Hollywood

Lujer_S, Jan 2026
It will bring you as close as possible to the Hollywood sign. Our guide (Jon) provided us a lot of information about the landmark in his funny way. He was also happy to take quality photos of us.

Laughing and hiking is fun!

Rupal_P, Jan 2026
John was absolutely hilarious and so fun to do the tour with! Super helpful and informative, had a great hike alongside the cutest doggo. Bonus photography skills!

I was traveling solo for...

Jordan_K, Jan 2026
I was traveling solo for work and it was my first time in LA so of course I had to see the sign, but I didn’t want to hike it alone so I signed up for this tour. Turns out I was the only one signed up but they still honored my booking and I got a personal tour! The tour guide was fantastic and took even more fantastic pictures for me! And to top it all off we got to see three day old baby goats!!

Jon was super...

Subhankar_P, Jan 2026
Jon was super enthusiastic and kept us entertained throughout. He got several awesome clicks of us too!

Great tour and pictures!

Kimberly_B, Dec 2025
Great tour with some history about the Hollywood sign and the area. Our guide, John, gave us some laughs and Mozart (the dog) was super sweet. Take the guide up on his offer to take pics for you at the best place for Hollywood sign pics. We took some of our own but him taking pictures of the whole family alone made the tour worth it! He's clearly done it a few hundred times. :) His pictures turned out great! Can you walk up the trails to see the Hollywood sign on your own? Sure, but I'd recommend this tour all day long for a first timer.

Fabulous experience!!! ...
