Not certain if our hike was a more personal hike (we were the only two attending this day), however the path we took was quite a bit more advanced, and would be a bit anxiety filled for those with children. We took a narrow and steep trail with fairly severe drop-offs just a foot off a narrow trail. For those with fear of heights, that path would not work. Paul, our guide, was very supportive of my partner who was having some anxiety, and got her through it...hats off to him for that extra effort. He was also very informative and provided a number of stories along the way. For more advanced trail-blazers, this would have been quite fun. Gorgeous views for sure!

Chris was terrific. He asked what we were interested in knowing and geared his conversation towards that. He was engaging and interesting! We highly recommend this hike. It is a bit strenuous so keep that in mind!

Chris was a great host, keeping us all entertained with LA stories (past and present) on the 2 hr hike. Stunning scenery with the promise of the wonderful Griffith Observatory at the end.

Damian is a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and his love for the city and its story really comes through. We weren’t sure about doing a walking tour but we were so glad we did. It was a highlight of our time in LA and we learned some really interesting things about the history and development of the area. Will definitely recommend the tour to friends heading to LA.

Our guide provided the best hiking experience. His knowledge of L.A. history was fascinating regarding California, Hollywood, the buildings, sign, and people. The view was amazing. Small groups and easy to follow directions, meeting place, and parking. We will book again and take more tours with this company!
