Great tour of the sights of LA

5.00Great tour. Very well organised and plenty of communication before and on the day. The tour guide Colin was great. Just the right amount off stops and a decent amount of time at each. I booked this as I was flying back to the UK later that night. It was perfect as could check out and store my bags band spend the day enjoying LA.
Not a good tour!!

2.00I would not recommend this tour at all. No way is 35 minutes long enough at the Santa Monica Pier, it takes almost all of that to get to the ocean. Our driver George gave us some interesting facts, but mostly about musicians and then played songs on the radio. Very boring. Also he was texting or something with his phone most of the way back, on a very busy freeway. It was scary. And when we got picked up we were told where we could sit. The Hollywood walk of fame was the best part. The Hollywood sign was very far away. Also he was late picking up everyone.
Good sample of LA

5.00This is a good trip for a solo traveler. You are able to see some iconic places in LA. Although I thought some of the times could have been longer at some stops, I really enjoyed the experience.

5.00Absolutely fantastic trip, long day but more than worth the early start. Took us to loads of places we wouldn't have been able to visit, practically, on our own. Plenty of stops, photo opportunities and bathrooms at every stop. Our guide was friendly knowledgeable and helpful - couldn't ask for more. Definitely recommend.
Great way to see LA!

5.00It was a fun day seeing all the highlights of LA. Steven our tour guide did a great job and was very knowledgeable about the area. He was full of stories that added to the day. We never would have been able to do as much as we did on our own. All in all, well worth the money.

5.00Got picked up by the wonderful Michael who drove us to Santa Monica and was very amusing on the journey. There we transferred to another coach and met Steve who led the Tour we did. It was a very good tour, really enjoyed it. We did the top sights in LA. Started at Santa Monica pier and finished at the Hollywood Walk of fame then did a transfer back to the . Steve was very informative throughout the Tour and pointed out various differenthe recommended places to eat at the farmers market, . Lots of different places to choose from and the food was excellent that we got on his recommendation. Would recommend this Tour to give you an insight into LA. We only had two days here and felt that we have seen a lot of the city on the tour.
Quick spin around the city
