It’s a good way to see some of the highlights of LA in a nice clean van and as usual, a good driver enjoyed

Our first visit to LA.

Edward_Q, May 2026
Good infomative tour. Wish we could of spent a little longer time at some stops but LA in a day is a lot of ground to cover.

Not your average tour

Vicki_P, Nov 2025
Interesting, fact-filled and insightful tour of Los Angeles. Plenty of opportunity to get out and experience LA. Our tour guide John was so fun and immersed us all in the experience. He’s a gem!

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Wow, thank you! " Not your average tour" is one of the best compliments we could get! We are so glad you enjoyed the mix of insights and time to explore. we will share your kind words with John, he will be thrilled!!

DeniseD_E, Oct 2025
Good for an overview of neighboorhoods in LA, but mostly driving with a few stops. Guide focused mostly on pointing out where various scenes of movies were shot. A lot of BS about how affordable LA was to live in 🤪. Van was comfortable and there were only 8 of us.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank your for sharing your feedback. We are glad you found the van comfortable! Our full-day, 8 hour tour covers approximately 80 miles and many of LA's iconic attractions. Because we cover so much ground, there's driving between stops and our knowledgeable guides use that time to share stories about the city's history, culture, architecture and landmarks with film locations as just one part of the experience. We appreciate you choosing Sunseeker Tours.

Great tour experience

Muthu_G, Dec 2024

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thank you for your most welcome endorsement of the tour you recently took with us.

City tour LA and nearby cities

Frank_P, Oct 2023
This city tour is not recommended. Because of city regulations with a tour bus and because of traffic we had limited stops. It is more sightseeing from inside the bus. The tour quide was wel informed about the life and living in the LA area but Sometimes to hé gave to much info. But he did his best to enjoy the travellers in this tour. The tour bus was not very comfortabele. Be aware by booking this tour and the Limitations about the sightseeing because there are maybe other and better options to see LA

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Los Angeles county is well known for its traffic and access limitations. We pride ourselves on adapting to restrictions imposed by the cities we visit. Recently, the city of Beverly Hills has implemented numerous vehicle weight limitations as well as street restrictions which has caused us to reroute our tours while still providing the viewing our guests desire. Your comment about the guide "sometimes ..,gave too much info." is a bit concerning. We are not sure what that means. We are confident that we provide tours that are among the best available.

Ripped off

David_P, Oct 2023
I paid for this tour and they just didn’t turn up - I was at the designated collection point 15 minutes before the advised time and waited an hour after the advised commencement time - thanks for nothing

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Our driver arrived on time to your hotel for pick up. Could not find you. tried to contact you via your international phone number, but no luck. He waited for 20 minutes. He was advised by the Concierge of the hotel that you have moved out into a different hotel. we had 12 other passengers onboard that day and could not wait around more than 30 minutes for you.

I chose to drop the last...

Syuzanna_V, Oct 2023
I chose to drop the last stop. The driver could have just clarified the beach name for the couple instead of lecturing passengers for not paying enough attention to his words.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

I appreciate your having taken the time to submit a review, but I must admit that I am a bit bewildered as to the who, what, where of your comment. Without more detail, I do not know what, if anything, I can do to address your concern.

Great overview

SallyK, Jul 2023
I like that the tour offered pick up and drop off at our hotel. It gave a great overview of Los Angeles. Our guide, Gabriel, was friendly and knowledgeable.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thank you for your review of your recent tour with us. Our service of local pick-up of our guests is frequently mentioned as being an important asset. I have forwarded a copy of your review to Gabriel and he asked me to thank you for what you have said. We hope to have an opportunity to serve you again in the not too distant future.

Great tour

Tamara_C, Jun 2023
Our driver was amazing with a wealth of knowledge of our route and city history. He kept us engaged. The stop at Venice Beach was great

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thanks for your review. I have shared it with the guide. Being called amazing certainly made his day! :>) Venice Beach is always a challenge. Some hate it others love it. Glad you liked it.

Will not make things right

Cara_S, Nov 2021
Did not do all the stops that were listed in the description what is less than time said it would be. Customer service is abrupt and rude.

Response from Host, Nov 2021

Although we are never happy to receive negative reviews, we do appreciate hearing when our guests are not satisfied. We take pride in the quality of our tours and the overwhelming preponderance of positive reviews on Viator and social media. Above all else, the security and safety of our guests is our primary goal. When we are made aware of potential problems along our planned routes, we make adjustments to assure both safety and tour quality are achieved. This was the case with replacing Venice Beach with Marina del Rey on the day of your tour. We were made aware of serious safety and security issues at the beach. When changes are made, our guides also inform guests of any changes and the reasons for them at the beginning of each tour. Our advertising also includes annotations that changes may be made to accommodate circumstances beyond our control. Your comment that our customer service is "abrupt and rude" clearly is your interpretation of our not agreeing with your criticism. We hoped for your understanding. Thank you again, for taking the time to express your concerns.

Great insight of LA area

Lori_k, Jul 2021
John was amazing, knowledge, and personible. He gave us his insight in the areas we visited. We would recommend his to anyone that wants to learn and see the area!

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Thank you for your review. I shared it with John and he asked me to thank you for your flattering comments. We try to provide our guests with an informative and fun tour. I sincerely appreciate your recommendation.

LA tour

lawrence r, Jun 2019
A lot of driving.stops at Downtown, obsevertory for far view of Hollywood sign very briefly, OK lunch stop at Mels Diner, drive past only of Santa Monica and a good stop at Venus beach and drive back to hotel. Not a bad way to introduce ourselves to LA.

Response from Host, Mar 2020

Thanks for taking the time to share your input. I agree... it is a lot of driving. Los Angeles is a big place. In the 8 hours of the tour we go to over a dozen attractions and cover over 100 miles. Glad you came along with us.

The trip was ok at best since we were...

Pollobi T, Oct 2018
The trip was ok at best since we were under the impression that we could see the Hollywood sign very up close, but it was way too far away. Also the guide was ok and funny but seemed like at the end, he was more into how to get the tips from the riders. 3 star from my experience

Well, this tour was a mixed...

WENDY_R, Mar 2018
Well, this tour was a mixed experience with some highlights. It was raining, so the 8 hours became 5 and a half , from pick up to drop off, which was not value for money! The driver shared loads of facts about the cultural - movie, music- side of the city, but was light on historical facts for some of the places. We also learned way too much about him, his music tastes, his family, his wife, which stars he has seen, and were left wondering if this tour was less sightseeing, and more a personal insight in to living in LA. We were left wondering what else we would have done if it were fine, as the driver said we had done everything, so is this really an 8 hour tour??

This was a great tour. I am only...

Christine G, Sep 2017
This was a great tour. I am only here for three days so it was fantastic to see so much in one day. Our guide Alberto was friendly and informative and gave us some great background on the variety of sights along the way. The lunch venue was like a scene straight out of 'Happy Days.' I am travelling solo and would have struggled to fit so much in without a guide. Highly recommended:
