That was a lovely experience! Our guide, Simone, was excellent - very friendly, informative, engaging and accommodating. We've seen and experienced quite a lot in one day. The car (and the drive) was comfortable and nicely cool and there were free drinks on offer. We got a proper taste, a feel for the city and its neighbourhoods. We can wholeheartedly recommend this tour.

Amazing family day

Johnathan_W, Jul 2025
Fantastic day seeing all of the major sights of LA. Simone was great and really knew the history of the places we visited.

We had a lovely, enjoyable day in LA

Amazing tour and exceptional tour guide

Cheryl_L, Jun 2025
The tour was very comprehensive, and Simone, our guide, was exceptional. She is knowledgeable about LA and the places we visited.

5stars for small groups of 3 or possibly 4. Lower for large groups.

Peter_K, May 2025
THE GOOD Itinerary was very good and the driver/guide added an item or two that we liked. Driver/guide was great. He listened well, had good stories to tell, knew tons of stuff, and drove very well in often very heavy traffic. The company provides water and soft drinks, plus they have chargers if your phone is getting low. THE NEUTRAL There is a significant pickup/drop off charge if you are located outside of LA (e.g. Disneyland) and don’t want to spend time/gas/parking fees to drive to a more central location. Driving time for the guide can easily be 60-90 minutes each before and after the tour so it’s understandable. THE NOT SO GOOD. Vehicle is advertised as being able to hold 7 but they would need to be small, good friends. The vehicle we had for 6 people was a Kia minivan. 5 of us are taller and wider than average and the 6th is a slender woman of average height. The front seat and the two outside seats in the second row were good with good views. Center 2nd row was cozy. 3rd row would be best for kids or small adults, and visibility back there is poor. One or two of the tall people would rotate back there to give everyone a chance at the good seats, but it was not a fun experience. BOTTOM LINE. Would have rated the tour 5 stars if there were only 3-4 of us (or if we had some small kids who would be happy in back playing on their phones while they drove from place to place).

Simone has a lot of knowledge of LA and knows all the best places to take you. This is a great tour. She picked me up from the airport and afterwards took me to my hotel. She also takes the best pics!

Flexible and very accomodating for kids!

David_W, Jan 2025
Simone was wealth of knowledge for all the sights in LA. She was very flexible for us to spend more or less time at places and deal with 3 kids and their excitement. Would highly recommend for those looking for a personalised and detailed intro to LA.

LA Private Tour By Simone

Full day Los Angeles tour after cruise

Lynda_B, Nov 2024
We arrived in Los Angeles after a cruise and had 8 hours before going to airport. We booked with Simone. She was excellent. She even took all our luggage and picked us up at cruise port then dropped us at airport after a full day tour. We packed in so much and Simone was great to listen to on our tour, very informative. We would definitely recommend her.

Entertaining and fabulous

Richard_M, Nov 2024
Simone was fabulous and the tour exceeded our expectations. She took us everywhere we wanted to go and more! Full of expert knowledge and very entertaining.

Best part of our trip!

Christy_G, Oct 2024
We LOVED Simone! It was a perfect day. We couldn't believe all that we got to see in such a short time! She was phenomenal! 10/10 recommend!

AMAZING!!!!!

Selina_S, Sep 2024
Simone was absolutely amazing. She knew all the hidden facts and took us on the most amazing tour. Totally worth it!! We toured with two adults and two children, both 10 years old and she made sure the trip was relevant to us as well as the kids. She had drinks on hand, bathroom recommendations and all the tidbits necessary for a great experience! Her stirrings are theeee best. I enjoyed endless stories of Hollywood and it was perfect. It was so much fun! I would 100 percent recommend! What was the best is that we got to alter what we did and choose where we answer to spend more vs less time. Simone is a diamond. Don’t hesitate.

John_W, Jun 2024
Simone was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The only repeat from our other LA visits was so much more expansive than before. She explained the back scenes of the Oscars and the selection process of the Hollywood stars. Adding so much to our appreciation. Thanks, Simone- we’ve got your number and hope to send others your way.

Great Day in LA

Diana_H, Jun 2024
Simone was an amazing guide! She literally knows everything about LA and the surrounding areas! She was a wealth of knowledge and just a fun personable person to enjoy the day with. We got to see all the main sights, she acted as our photographer and was patient and kind. Definitely worth the money!
