This was such an enjoyable experience and different way to see LA! Our tour guide Scott was fantastic. His knowledge of the city was extensive and he definitely captivated my 8yo from the start. The views of LA at sunset are spectacular. If you love to hike and explore a city on foot, this is the perfect tour for you! Also any dog lovers out there, will love Scott’s partner in crime Blue, who joined us on the tour. Thank you both for a great evening!

Good sightseeing including some well known sites along with some lesser known ones. Panoramic views of City were outstanding. Some uphill walking involved that was well worth the effort.

Scott is a fantastic guide to the area and offers to take great photos of you while you do it! You'll get info about the Walk of Fame, and take a walk up through the Hollywood neighbourhood streets that take you up to the entrance to Runyon Canyon Park. Once there you take the gentle ascent up to the overlook giving a beautiful view of the LA sprawl! Scott's dog Blue is friendly and full of energy, loving to go off and explore the sides of trail while the humans wander up!
Highly recommended as a way to spend a couple of hours and see a side of Hollywood that most don't get to see!
Response from Host, Jul 2025

I had the most wonderful time exploring LA at sunset with Scott and his gorgeous pup Blue! His knowledge of the city is phenomenal—he shared so many fascinating facts that I never would’ve discovered on my own. What I loved was that he made me feel like a local, not just a visitor. You can truly feel his passion and deep love for the city in every stop and story. This tour was the perfect mix of insight, incredible views and local charm. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, May 2025
Thank you so much for the great review. I appreciate it very much and always look to share the best experience. I wish you amazing adventures ahead. Cheers!

Without giving away the zest of the waking tour: you will learn lots of history of this city and people who pioneered it. Alongside 100 year old history you’ll learn about the industry that dominates the city and recent ( celebrity) tid bits. Added bonus: you will have a multi talented guide to show way to some secret spots in LA.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Hello! Thank you so much for joining the tour on your short visit to LA. It was my pleasure as you were so kind and fascinated by all the History I had to share. Wishing you and your son great travels together. Cheers!

Tiffany_S, Apr 2025
Scott was a great tour guide and provided a fun and memorable experience. It's clear that he is knowledgable and authentically passionate about what he does. He and his dog Blue were fun and friendly. We were able to cover a lot of ground in a short time: city, neighborhood and nature. Scott will also stop and take photos of you and knows the best spots to stand so that you'll have great memories of your visit. Thanks you, Scott!

I arrived half an hour early to the meet point. I waited, and waited, and waited until fifteen minutes after the start time, when the guide eventually turned up and proceeded to shout and swear at me because I was waiting approximately 2m from the exact specific start point. I told him his tone and behaviour was uncalled for, and he continued to shout down the street at me as I left.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
This guests was not at the meeting location. She yelled at me that I was never there, and wanted her money back immediately. I told her I was there early on the stairs where we meet, and I did not see her anywhere. She got a message before the tour, and made sure she had exact meeting point. I sent her a full refund right away, and still did the tour without her. I look forward to give great tours always. Cheers!

A sunset hike from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, TCL Chinese Theater, and Roosevelt Hotel to Runyon Canyon. Hiking through the Hollywood Hills for views of the Hollywood sign, Griffith Park, and the LA Skyline. As the sun set and day transitioned to night, one can’t help but be in awe of the beauty of the Hollywood Hills and the valley below. Scott led the walk to Runyan Canyon and provided interesting narrative along the way to Runyan Canyon. His furry friend “Blue” joined us. Scott said he often sees celebrities walking their dog in the park.

Highly recommend

Thank you very much for joining the Sunset Tour. I really enjoyed your family and so did Blue. I wish you all a great rest of your summer together. Cheers!
Emma_H, Aug 2024
We had the most amazing time on the hike with Scott and his lovely dog Blu. We hiked all the way to the top of Runyon Canyon and the views were just breathtaking. Scott took us to the best spots to get the best views of the Hollywood sign and take in the views of LA. He was full of stories and anecdotes about old Hollywood and how the town was built and by who. He made it really interesting and lots of fun. We wouldn’t have been able to get this kind of experience just walking around and hiking on our own. This is an absolute must-do on anyone’s trip to LA.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Thank you!! I'm so glad you decided this adventure to explore Hollywood together. You made Blue so happy. Enjoy the rest of your amazing family vacation. Cheers!
Regina_B, Jul 2024
I actually went in December 2021 and it was a nice tour. If you’ve been out all day and want something easygoing to end the evening with I recommend. Great views and great pic spot.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
So nice to hear from you! Thank you for leaving a review, and being so kind to me and blue. I hope to see you again, and enjoy the rest of your summer. Cheers!
Lani_G, Jul 2024
We did this walking tour and it was so worth it!
The owner and guide, Scott, is a bundle of knowledgeable energy and his loyal dog, Blue was such a treat!
It was so cool seeing the TCL Chinese Theatres where most of the Movie Blockbuster Premieres are held and also explore the handprints and footprints of many stars! Even just to stand on the “red carpet” where the Oscars are held, felt surreal! And to see where Marilyn Monroe once lived…
The Ovation Hollywood - a new outside Mall is great for views of the Hollywood Sign. We passed by The Hollywood Roosevelt, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Dolby Theatre, Outpost Estates, etc. The Runyon Canyon Park is in the heart of Hollywood and has amazing views of the LA Skyline.
Scott is a great storyteller and he is passionate about what he does - he had our teenage boys (and us) totally focussed on every word he said. We cannot recommend this enough!
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Hello! Thank you so much for the great review. I love how much you enjoyed it and really appreciate the kind words. I wish you all amazing travels ahead. Cheers!

Scott was a great host and was very knowledgeable and had many interesting stories to tell. Blue was good company too but she wasn’t keen on the 4th July fireworks! Great night my family and I won’t soon forget. Thanks Scott 👍🏼
