Great way to sample the sights of Hollywood and get a glimpse into where you might want to visit. Bus driver was entertaining.
Jeannita_O, Jun 2026
The bus driver drove to fast couldn't see anything to take pictures wasnt a good tour he was driving so fast couldn't take no pictures
Sandy_V, Jun 2026
It was great! I would give 5 stars but we sat in back row and couldn’t hear the tour guide well through speakers. The best part was the guy though….he was excellent!
Patricia_O, Apr 2026
It was a great experience, the tour guides were nice, well explained and funny! Had a great time and it was just what I needed to explore Los Angeles!
Kim_P, Mar 2026
We had an amazing time! Our driver was informative and outstanding! We would definitely do this again.
Nicola_P, Feb 2026
Tour guide was very knowledgeable and keen to give the best possible experience.
We saw several movie locations
Melanie_K, Jan 2026
Tommy our tour guide was an absolute joy. So nice, funny and very knowledgeable. We saw and learned so many new facts about Hollywood/Beverly Hills history. In addition to the stops listed, he took us all the way up and into the gorgeous Hollywood Hills to see celebrity homes and the Universal overlook. Would absolutely recommend!
Would suggest parking by the Hollywood and Hyland parking structure and walking to the meeting location to see more of the Chinese Theater, hand prints and boulevard sites.

Had an amazing time during my tour!
I have been to Hollywood before, but never experienced a guided tour. The drive around the areas was superb! Yes…there’s the traffic, but that’s part of the LA love. The tour was very informative, upbeat and never boring. Tommy - our guide - really knows his stuff! From fun facts to engaging his audience. Give him a 10 out of 10! We laughed and enjoyed the commentary and the city sites.
Will be returning for another pleasant drive around the Californian Dream Factory.
Lisa_C, Dec 2025
Our driver/tour guide was annoying, if he sang “Hollywood” in a high pitched voice once, he did it 400 times at least. I suppose he was trying to fill the time in between destinations, and never stopped blabbering, so it was hard to communicate with your friends during the tour. And he kept saying “oh my God, oh my God” about everything. You just wanted him to be quiet once in a while. On a positive note, he seemed to be a decent driver in LA traffic.
The bus itself was a bit scruffy, and we found the handwritten signs posted around the interior of the bus suggesting the tipping amounts to be tacky.
Also, the tour ran an hour over the 2 hour advertised time which caused us to scramble to our next planned activity.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Hello Lisa, thank you for your review! We use all feedback to shape future experiences.
Thank you as well for recognizing that he was a safe driver in crazy Los Angeles traffic.
Alec_S, Dec 2025

Santino_P, Dec 2025
The tour was great, took me all around the most popular areas in Los Angeles. I saw so many new things that I think everyone should see when they come to LA.
Luanne_G, Nov 2025
We really enjoyed our excursion and our tour guide was awesome(Tommy). The open air vehicle was very comfortable and the visibility was great
Jen, Nov 2025
The guide was highly inappropriate. He made many comments about strippers (and when we said he wanted to avoid the topic got very descriptive). He also made comments about ethnicity and stereotypes of multiple nationalities throughout the tour. Could have provided a ton more commentary about the sites though he did point out quite a few stars’ homes, etc.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
We do not tolerate or condone any form of discrimination against anyone, especially since our company includes members from diverse cultures and religions.
Juanita_B, Nov 2025
It was such a great experience. I highly recommend it. We booked at 2:30 it gave us time to go walk around Hollywood and go sit and eat and enjoy some good margaritas.
Brittany_S, Oct 2025
We had a great time. The driver was really nice and friendly. In the future add going to the Hollywood time in the tour.
Brittany_S, Oct 2025
Great time driver was very friendly. We really enjoyed it. Next time I would add going to the Hollywood sign in the tour.
Saritha_B, Sep 2025
The guide can make or break this tour. Our guide was very funny and had a lot of stories to share. We covered the Hollywood sign, celebrity homes, Rodeo drive, Chinese theater/Dolby studios and lots of small things along the way.
Randy_W, Sep 2025
The tour was everything that it was advertised as. Tommy our driver/tour guide was very informative and had many Dad jokes. Would recommend this if you are looking for a Hollywood tour.
VICTORIA_B, Aug 2025
Definitely have your cameras ready, be ready for the unexpected and PLEASE ask lots of questions. Enjoy!
Jacqueline_K, Aug 2025
The driver was amazing, had tons of fun facts, and stopped at a few places for us to get photos at. The open bus aspect was perfect because we got some nice breezes during the day (side note keep a hold of your hats so they don’t fly away). This is definitely a Hollywood homes tour most of all so you’ll get more of that and celebrity stories more so than famous landmarks. But still got to stop at a spot for the Hollywood sign, the Beverly Hills sign, the Beverly Hills Hotel, and went down Rodeo Dr and Hollywood Blvd. Overall a fun time and not a long tour
Fiona_M, Jul 2025
Not professional, no meaningful commentary seemed lacking in knowledge of history and facts about LA.

Excellent trip! We have lived in the area for 60 years and this was our first Hollywood tour. We had a fantastic time and are happy we took the tour. Our guide (the Brit) was top notch and funny. The staff at check in were friendly and helpful. Hands down a terrific time!
