Daniel was a great travel host. He listened to our comments to point out various attractions that were aligned our interests. He knows LA history and current events. Thank you for a great day.

Daniel is a fabulous guide and will provide a truly excellent experience! Great guide and great communication.

Daniel is a great tour guide and takes great photos of us too! We really enjoyed our tour and recommend it to everyone.
Helga_A, Jan 2026
If you have not rented a car, taking this tour is an easy way to get to see the major sights in the Hollywood area. Daniel is an excellent tour guide who is very knowledgeable and takes the time to answer questions. We loved having a small group and a guide who is willing to take group pictures. It was also wonderful to have time at the Farmer's Market to eat and take a break. Be sure not to miss this perfect way to see Hollywood!
Cristina_C, Jan 2026
We had a wonderful day hitting several famous sites with Daniel! This was so much fun for the whole family. Daniel had great communication, was a safe driver, and very knowledgable. We highly recommend this tour!
Kerrie_B, Dec 2025
Daniel is extremely knowledgeable. We learned so much, saw all the sights, and had great spots for photos. It was everything you would want to see in a 4 hour tour. It was an amazing introduction to L.A.
Jessica_H, Dec 2025
Daniel made this tour really special! He gave unique insights about the areas and was very friendly and easygoing. We saw more than just the touristy spots - he showed us a lot of art and murals, drove us to a higher point near the Hollywood sign, and took us through the Original Farmers Market where they have an amazing array of food options. But we also did the touristy stuff too. :) We highly recommend this tour!
Laura_S, Dec 2025
Daniel is amazing! He was super accommodating with the short time we had in LA. He made sure I got to see everything I wanted, plus things I didn't know I wanted. Went out of his way to make us feel special and I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to check out the sites of LA!
Princess_T, Nov 2025
Daniel is an amazing tourguide. If you want a tour that is more personable and can take a good instagram worthy photo you should definitely book him. The price is really good deal . He is very knowledgeable about his craft and I love he can take really good pictures!!
Toksy_A, Nov 2025
Great tour all the way around! Will definitely do again when we return for spring break! Thank you!!
Courtney_J, Nov 2025
Excellent tour, saw so much of LA and Hollywood! The tour guide was great at taking photos too and super nice! Definitely a 10/10 experience!
Lorraine_C, Nov 2025
From the moment Daniel picked me up from our designated spot, I knew he was going to be fabulous. I'd originally booked with him as I was travelling solo and he said in his ad he was willing to take photos. I expected other people to be there but it was was just me....what a bonus!!
We drove around LA, Beverly Hills and Hollywood, with Daniel pointing out extremely interesting facts everywhere we went.
We stopped for coffee and donuts at the Farmers Market, so totally relaxing.
I would recommend Daniel 1000% if you're considering a tour....he is such a nice guy and nothing was too much trouble.
Thank you for your expertise in the LA area
Ronald_L, Nov 2025
Great tour by Daniel — an incredibly informative and personable guide who gave us a thorough overview of Hollywood, the Hollywood Sign, Beverly Hills, and everything in between. His knowledge and storytelling brought the city to life. The bonus? His awesome photography skills capturing memorable moments throughout our Los Angeles adventure. Highly recommend!
Dana_F, Nov 2025
We had such a nice time on the Hollywood Photo Tour! It was the perfect mix of sightseeing and fun photo ops without feeling rushed. Our tour guide, Daniel, was super friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable. He had great energy but also kept the vibe really relaxed, which made it easy to just enjoy the experience and take in the views. He even made a special stop for my partner who really wanted to see NSYNC's star on the walk of fame. Highly recommend this tour (and Daniel) if you want something memorable but laid-back while exploring Hollywood.
Charles_S, Oct 2025
Our experience with Daniel was wonderful
He is a very friendly person and helped us with some spectacular photos.
I highly recommend him 😎
LAWRENCE_C, Sep 2025
I can’t recommend Daniel enough—he’s an outstanding Los Angeles tour guide and the perfect reason to skip the generic tour buses and “star homes” gimmicks. I booked his private LA and Hollywood tour at the very last minute, and he still managed to fit me in without any hassle. Daniel’s passion for the city was obvious. He knows everything from the landmarks to the tucked-away spots most visitors never find. As we drove, he shared fascinating history, local stories, and insider tips that gave me a much deeper appreciation of the city. In just four hours we covered so much ground — Hollywood, scenic overlooks, and hidden gems off the typical tourist routes — yet the time flew by thanks to his engaging conversation. He answered every question with genuine enthusiasm and clearly tailors each tour to each guest’s interests.
On top of that, Daniel has a photographer’s eye. He offered to take photos with my phone and captured professional-quality shots with perfect framing and lighting. These pictures are some of my favorite keepsakes from the trip. If you want more than a “drive past celebrity houses” experience, Daniel is the guide you’re looking for. His deep knowledge, friendly personality, and attention to detail made this one of the best tours I’ve ever taken. I left with wonderful memories and a new appreciation for Los Angeles—absolutely worth every minute! Thank you, Daniel, for an unforgettable experience.

We had a great experience with the tour guide Daniel Richards. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. We were 7 people and we also enjoyed each other's company even though we did not know others in the tour.
Lucas_C, Sep 2025
Daniel was awesome. Super knowledgeable about LA. This tour is a great way to see lots of highlights LA in a quick period of time.
amgoos, Aug 2025
We had the afternoon free before a late night flight home, so we opted for a tour of the sights. My friend and I were the only ones on the tour and got to see more than we could have on our own. Daniel was a wonderful, knowledgeable guide. Now I need to go back to visit some of the places we passed on the tour. Definitely recommend!!
Melinda_A, Aug 2025
We had a red eye out of LAX after a cruise and doing this tour was the best decision ever. Daniel was on time, engaging, professional, and shared a wealth of knowledge about the area. It was five of us so it ended up being a private tour. His love for the City and all the hidden gems he shared with us was greatly appreciated. The icing on the cake is his top tier photography skills. We got some great individual and group pics. My family and I highly recommend this tour. Don't hesitate, just book it! You will have a blast.
Dayla_R, Aug 2025
We had a great time! Daniel was accommodating and made our evening in LA very enjoyable. Perfect way to learn about the city and a more personal way to see all the sights.
Thank you so much Daniel!!

Daniel was an amazing tour guide. He showed us places and gave such thorough information which we wouldn’t have known without his tour. Highly recommend. He also took very professional photos for us from our phones which made great memories to keep. Thank you very much we all enjoyed every moment of our tour. What a great guide!!

Christopher_J, May 2025
Daniel was really knowledgeable about the history throughout the tour and gave us time to take great photos at each stop. The farmer’s market is a must!
Linda_C, Apr 2025
Daniel our guide deserves a million stars. He made this awesome experience so unforgettable. He was so easy to talk to and it felt like we had known him all our lives. To make things even better he was SO knowledgeable. about every thing in LA. It was worth every penny we spent
Shannon_W, Mar 2025
Daniel was amazing!! Had a great experience. Really recommend booking with Daniel for an amazing time! Daniel really took his time and did not feel rushed at all.
Ratika_H, Mar 2025
Great tour, catered to what we were interested in. Daniel knows SO much about the sites we saw and was so friendly. It’s so nice to go on a tour like this, rather than trying to figure it out and missing some of the local favorites. Plus he took lots of photos for us. We all had a wonderful time!
