Outstanding!

Linda_E, Mar 2025
Paul the tourguide was excellent! He told us lots of things about Old Hollywood. He answered all my questions about the stars on the Walk of Fame, especially the ones who are for theater stars outside the Pantages Theater. I loved the mural in the Frolic Room bar. Some of the bars look a little seedy from the outside. I am glad I was with a tour guide who brought me inside, because now I know that they are wonderful places.

Must do

Tracee_W, Dec 2024
This is a great tour to discover places you would never find alone. Our guide Paul was fantastic. He took us to really cool speakeasy bars and had incredible knowledge of the area and its history. Great rooftop bar with views and food. Highly recommend this tour Thankyou Noel & Tracee

Great way to solo travel

Rachel_H, Nov 2024
Great, small tour. A great way to get out on the town as a solo traveler. The guide was very entertaining and knew so much Hollywood history!

Great evening awesome time

Bar history

Kimberly_B, Jun 2024
Our guide Sam was very knowledgeable about the history of each destination. The Roosevelt was the best stop and now we have planned a trip to this hotel next month

Memorable and Iconic !!!

Kevin_M, May 2024
Sam was AMAZING! The places he took us were so iconic. By the end of the night I felt like Sam was a friend I had known for years and were just hanging out. HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!! Can’t wait to do another tour !!!

A Night to Remember

Jacqueline_P, May 2024
We had a terrific experience. Our guide Sam took us to a variety of venues. He provided historical and cultural background at each location. His knowledge and enthusiasm for Los Angeles and its history is infectious. We even had a chance to dance! We would highly recommend this tour and our guide Sam.

Lotta Booze no info

Loved the couple we were on tour with. Star Wars bar good. Guide did nothing. Hardly any information. Food was good but we were sort of rushed. Plus we were charged 198 for 2 people instead of 190 like it said. Either way not worth money at all

Response from Host, Oct 2023

We're sorry that these guys didn't seem to enjoy the tour that much. All we can say is that the guide adjusts the tour according to a reading of the guests and Mike must have felt that these guys were happy with the level of information. He's definitely an expert on LA and guests can ask all the questions they want over the 2.5-3 hour tour. Also this group did visit 4 bars, instead of the standard 3. The payment issue sounds like something to do with Viator, since they booked on their platform. Nevertheless, if these guests want to reach out, we'd love to give them an opportunity to try a tour with our sister company in San Francisco, if they ever visit.

Perfect Evening!

Kim_R, Feb 2023
Matt, our guide was friendly & personable. A fountain of history on the SpeakEasy Bars we went to and the surrounding area. Felt like we were bar hopping with friends instead of a tour. Wonderful evening!
