This was a great time. Be sure that if you come out during the winter months you wear a jacket as it gets pretty cold 🥶 there are no windows as it’s an open bus. They do not have a bartender on deck and they should like most tour buses do. Bring energy and the ability to interact with others so that you are remembered and don’t get left at a bar. They did a good job of finding us 😩🤭😆. We went to quite a few bars. They should try some different bars. Some bars had attendees who were not so happy to see us there. A little uncomfortable but whatever we all stuck together and partied regardless of the looks of why are we in there lol Overall this was a really good time I definitely had over five shots! 😌

I hate I missed it

I couldn’t get an uber ride to take me I kept requesting an uber over and over again never got one..

Not what I expected

Chantel_B, Aug 2026

The description of what was to come didn't happen. The music wasn't the lastest hits we wasn't a good vibe, there were NO surprise giveaways throughout the night, and one of the two clubs was empty. The sight seeing was nice always happy to see others enjoying themselves. Waste of time and money for my group. Just not what I expected.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

TMZ After Dark Tour - Maybe think twice before booking…

Patricia_P, Mar 2026

I wasn’t going to write a review; however, I think it is needed. After two reminders from Viator to write one, here we gooooo…Our group loves to do annual “Galentines” trips so this year LA was the destination. We work together and actually enjoy being around each other, so setting this annual trip is a fun way for us to get together outside of the corporate walls. We found this TMZ After Dark Tour experience and thought it would be cool and easy to hop around this way around Sunset/Hollywood for the night. We arrived on time to our pickup location and learned that our departure was delayed because the DJ had not yet arrived. We were supposed to leave at 7:30pm “sharp” and they were very strict on that as well when we checked in. This what not the case. We board our bus on time, but leaving on time was another thing. It was now pushing 8pm. I must mention that we are also a group of mid 30-early 40 year old mamas who were so ready to boogie. So if we don’t get going before a certain hour, bedtime starts sounding better and better. 8pm the DJ finally arrives, no real apology. Shuffles in to the back of the bus, still has to put together his entire setup and can’t figure out the power cords. Once he finally gets up and running, it’s now almost 8:20 at this point. Almost an hour behind our scheduled takeoff time. We start to head out and first song the DJ chooses none of us recognized and everyone else on the bus was around the same age. So we dropped a friendly hint to the DJ that he’s got a bunch of millennial mamas who are ready to boogie and he comes back with a smart remark of, “ha, yeah.. I can tell…” He plays a song or two from our era and then proceeds to drop comments through out the rest of the tour poking jabs at our age group. Yelling, “if you’re over 30 years old put your hands up!” but not in a manner to pump us up. Definitely was insulting us. By the third random stop at a liquor store, so the “influencer” (no clue who she was) who co-hosted our bus, could do a staged paparazzi scene and photo shoot, our group was over it and losing hope that the TMZ bus tour was just not going to be the highlight of the night like we thought. Until finally, the bus dropped us at Beaches Tropicana in WeHo and we had finally found what we needed! The music, the vibes, the people! All of it AMAZING! Our group decided right then and there we were not getting back on the TMZ bus. We told our amazing TMZ host the news that we wanted to stay and the bus could leave without us. Probably the best decision we made the whole night. Our TMZ host, he was the one who deserves the gold star out of the all mess. He was so sweet, nice, made sure we got our drinks at each stop and was super understanding when we chose not to get back on the bus. If only there was a more punctual and well rounded DJ who didn’t insult his crowd who paid money to be there. Such a shame, we really had higher hopes for this tour…

Fun 🤩 Times With TMZ After Dark‼️👌🏾

Cool people all around

Kathia_K, Jan 2026

The people and the operators with the celebrity guest were so good. The only thing was the bars were a bit dead. Maybe because it was early? (9ish pm). I wish the Bars would have been hopping. Everything else was super cool. Love the live DJ inside the Bus

Response from Host, Jan 2026
