Jackson_Y, Apr 2023
No problem meeting up with the tour as the van arrived early and was waiting for us at the meeting point when we reached there. Tour guide was very friendly and provided good information/history on the various points of interest along the tour, he also helped us with picture taking. At the end of the tour we were able to get dropped off at our hotel nearby that we were staying in. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this tour!

Paul was a terrific tour guide. His tour van was very clean and comfortable for my family of four. We shared the tour with another family of four. Paul was great with all age groups, including my two teenagers. We saw so much in those four hours, and Paul certainly did seem to know all the short cuts, best parking spots, etc. to pack in as much as possible. His knowledge of LA, Hollywood, and Beverly Hills, as well as the world in general was amazing!! Thanks so much for a fun and informative afternoon!!
Swati_T, Jun 2022
Very informative and pleasant experience. Paul was super friendly and accommodating and made sure we felt comfortable
Response from Host, Nov 2022
Hi Swati,
Thank for reviewing Paul's tour as "Awesome"
Since 1988 our goal has always to make people feel comfortable while touring this big intimating city!
David_S, May 2022
We were very happy with the tour and recommend it to anyone with limited time in LA. Saw a good amount of LA in a 4 hour period and left feeling like we saw all of the attractions you hear about. Great tour guide. Unfortunately we forgot her name, but she was a local who was very friendly, easy to chat with, and provided a ton of information. Excellent experience.
William_L, Feb 2022
Our tour guide (Paul) immediately made us feel welcome. He was so knowledgeable and exceeded our expectations. Our trips focus was to see the Super Bowl 2022 but as we remember our trip years from now, Paul's tour of LA will be treasured as a highlight of our trip.
Response from Host, Mar 2022
Hi William,
Thank you so much for sharing your tour experience.
Paul has been showing folks around the LA area for over 40 years.
We also love to travel, and we know that connecting with a local is a great way to feel welcome.
For many years we use to do tours in larger vehicles, the tours were great but that personal connection was not as strong.
Traveling to a large city for such a huge event like the Supper Bowl can be intimidating. We are so glad that Paul made you feel welcome and his knowledge exceeded your expatiations and the experience was Absolutely priceless!
We are so moved that the tour was the highlight of your trip!!
MaryAnn_C, Feb 2022
Our tour guide Bing was so knowledgeable about everything on our tour! She was fascinating and fun and could answer any of our questions. Would highly recommend this tour!
Response from Host, Mar 2022
Hi MaryAnn.
Thanks for your review "Loving LA"
We are so glad you found Bing to be so knowledgeable and fun.
One of the great things about our smaller groups is interacting with our guests. I am so glad you got answers to your questions on the tour.
Thanks so much for the high recommendation!

Carolyn_P, Aug 2021
My most memorable part of the tour was the Observatory where I was able to view the Hollywood sign. Overall the entire tour was great. Dave was a great tour guide, very informative, and knowledgeable. I learned a lot.
Response from Host, Oct 2021
Hi Carolyn,
It is great that you learned a lot on the tour.
After 34 years of showing people around this very large and historic city we love it when people not only have fun with the great scenic and memorable views from up in the hills at the world renowned Griffith park observatory (elevation 1135 feet), and home of the Hollywood celebrities, but to go home having really learned about the unique culture and history of the nations second largest city!!
Alanah_H, Aug 2021
Dave was absolutely the best! My friend and I both went on this tour and had the best time. You see a lot of the city accompanied by great information about the spots on the tour.

lauren_s, Jul 2021
This tour was amazing and the guide was one of the best guides I’ve had on a tour. She was informative about everything. Along with the typical sites she was more than willing to share about local spots. You get your money’s worth out of this tour for sure. I highly recommend.
Response from Host, Jul 2021

ROBERTTA_G, Jun 2021
The tour was very nice, detailed and informative. The tour guide was nice and gave a lot of historical information on LA and California. She hit all the hot spots of LA including Rodeo drive, Sunset Blvd, and the Staples Center. I would definitely recommend this tour to someone that has never been to California before and would like to see the site and know the history.
Response from Host, Jul 2021
Hi Robertta,

If I happen to be in LA again, I would definitely call Paul again.... he was able to answer all my questions (and I asked a lot lol) and made us feel ver comfy... it was like riding around LA with a buddy ! Thumbs up! 👍
LisaA_I, May 2021
Dave was a magnificent tour guide he accommodated us to to the max! He was very knowledgeable when it came to all the parts of the areas / sites we saw. He made our trip a great memory!
Odis_B, May 2021
Absolutely much more than we anticipated. This tour hit all the must see stops and gave plenty of time for photos

Dave was amazing kept the group entertained the whole tour. Had music, played games, seen all the sights. Well worth your time to see. Thanks Dave for a great start to our vacation. Robin & Mike from Reno
Arvind R, Aug 2019
We booked this tour at the last minute and must say we lucked out! It was exactly what we were looking for - a quick intro to the main spots around the city, with a focus on Hollywood. Bing was very knowledgeable and the celebrity home tour with her was clearly the standout of the tour.
Jennifer R, Jul 2019
The tour picked us up in a large van filled with people and little room left for my family to sit. The van was hot and crowded. The tour guide rushed us through each attraction. We had little time at each attaction to view and take picture. We were told at the Griffith Observatory that we were not allowed to go inside. We were barely able to see the Hollywood sign from the observatory. We had to go back to the Griffith Observatory, walk of fame, Hollywood sign, and Chinese Theater on our own time and money to actually see everything. We drove past 2-3 star homes, not impressed. We spent so much time stuck in traffic hearing the tour guide point out irrelvant coffee shops in Koreatown. Such a waste of a day. I would reccomed that you avoid this tour.
Response from Host, Aug 2019
Hi Jennifer,
Thank you for taking time out to write this review. We are sorry that your experience with us was not to your expectations.
Our tour is designed as an overview of the city, not as a deep dive of each landmark we stop on the route. For example, the stop at the Griffith Park Observatory isn’t just to provide one of the best views of the Hollywood Sign — it is also to show our guests a breathtaking and sweeping overlook of the city, while enjoying another historical landmark that the majority of our visitors have on their itinerary.
We’re sorry you were disappointed in the traffic. It’s an unfortunate fact that LA has the nation’s worst traffic, despite it being our favorite city (call us biased). That said, as we return to drop people off at their hotels, we’d rather our guides mention our city’s rich and diverse culture by pointing out places of interest (such as popular coffee shops and restaurants) rather than simply being silent in the van.
Finally, we’re sorry and surprised to hear that you only saw 2 or 3 stars homes. This tour highlights the neighborhoods of the Hollywood celebrities and has over 20 homes and filming locations on schedule. We confirmed this route with your driver that day, and are happy to discuss any discrepancy further if you’d like to give us a call.
All the best,
Thank you
Sunjay_S, Jul 2019
Best tour ever!!! Bing was awesome!!! She showed us so many things that we Could have never seen on our own. Great way to spend the afternoon and see the sights!!
chriss72192019, Jul 2019
If you want to see and experience the BEST tour ever go with Bing! My family absolutely loved every minute of the tour! Don’t miss a great experience!!!!!
Geri G, May 2019
Bing was an excellent tour guide and knew all about the attractions and where everybody lived or had lived and who lived there now. The tour moved very smoothly with no stops too long. We were not a hotel pick up and Bing communicated with us about where to be and when to be there. She knows the town well and we never got stopped or delayed in traffic. One of the best tours on our two week trip in California.
Response from Host, Jun 2019
Hi Geri,
Thanks for sharing your Afternoon City of LA tour experience you had with Bing. It's great you found the stops to be just the right amount of time. Bing has lived and worked in LA for over 30 years and truly knows the town, which most defiantly helps her navigate through our epic traffic. It's fantastic this tour ranks as one of your best in your two week visit to our state!
