Meh

Keith_K, Jan 2026

Book a cheaper tour. You will not see celebrities, and they all go by the same spots. Average at best.

TMZ Hollywood bus tour

MarshaF, Nov 2025

Good driver. Great tour guide. Would be nice to replace some of the stripper and working girl stories with family friendly ones.

Hi MarshaF, thank you for the review and suggestion. We'll make sure to take that in consideration. We are happy you enjoyed the tour with our driver and guide. We look forward to your next visit! Best, Denisa from Big Bus Tours

Delayed flight, missed the tour and got no response from these tour people

Monica_H, Oct 2025

If you have a travel mishap (delayed flight) and are unable to make your scheduled time, don’t bother trying to reach out to these people to see if u can reschedule. They simply ignore your message and take your money.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Hi Monica, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. At Big Bus Tours we strive to provide our customers with a great experience, and I am truly sorry if that was not the case for you. Please contact me directly at maryc@bigbustours.com so I can gather your ticket information and look into this matter for you, Thank you

Hollywood TMZ Tour

Laura_G, Oct 2025

Tour bus that shows you where celebrities scandals took place and where they hang out in the Hollywood, Beverly Hills and LA area. I didn’t get to see any celebrities, but tour was very informative with a combo of a live guide and videos. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Truck was clean, comfortable with leather seats, outlets for phone chargers and the breeze on the open air truck on a sunny California day was wonderful. If you don’t see a celebrity, you feel it’s over priced. Just note….a celebrity citing is not guaranteed.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Hello Laura_G, thank you for your candid feedback. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found it informative and that our staff was friendly and helpful, even though you didn't spot any celebrities. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future!- Best wishes, Mara from Big Bus
