Would recommend!

Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. This was an excellent trip. She described so many buildings and attractions it was mind-boggling. I didn’t hear anyone ask her a question where she didn’t know the answer! Highly informative and very fun!

Excellent guide, great route

Published on Jan, 2025

CHAD rocked! Traveling solo for work and had a great time. Felt comfortable with the tour size and the locations. I will warn you, my tour was after the palisade fires so less people in general were out. I felt the stop times were adequate and enough to explore the areas. Definitely recommend.

Great short tour of Hollywood

Published on Jan, 2025

I had one day in LA and this tour was fantastic. Great way to explore and get an insight in LA and Hollywood with our excellent guide Mike.

Great tour

Published on Jan, 2025
