Great way to get a taste of LA!

5.00It was excellent, the driver was so kind, and the stops are very nice. I would recommend this bus tour to everyone. It has AC and water, which is very important. It was very good. I think it is the best way to see the most interesting parts of Los Angeles, or at least the most visited ones, and not navigate the traffic.
