5.00We had an amazing time on our LA tour with Mike. He was incredibly polite and did a fantastic job explaining all the spots. His explanations were brief and to the point, which kept the tour engaging and fun. Highly recommend asking for Mike if you're touring LA

5.00We had a great experience with Titus as our driver guide. He was friendly, welcoming putting all at ease and very informative throughout the trip. We had sufficient time at the stops. The vehicle was comfortable. A great way to see Los Angeles. We would recommend this tour over the traditional bus tours.
Amazing tour! Thank you Chad!

5.00We had an amazing experience exploring Los Angeles with Chad as our driver and guide. Chad was professional, punctual, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the city. He shared fascinating stories, local insights, and recommendations that made the tour much more enjoyable and memorable. His driving was safe and comfortable, and he made sure we had plenty of time at each stop while keeping the day well organized. Chad was also very accommodating, always checking that everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. What really stood out was his positive attitude and genuine passion for showing visitors the best of LA. He went above and beyond to make our experience special, and thanks to him, we were able to see and appreciate so much more of the city. We highly recommend Hollywood bus tour to anyone looking for a fantastic LA tour. Thank you, Chad, for helping create such wonderful memories of our trip!
Great tour if you want to see the main attractions in L.A and are short on time!

5.00Great tour, well organised and with an entertaining guide. There was enough time at each stop and opportunities to get drinks, snacks and use rest rooms along the route. If you're short on time and want to see the main attractions in L.A. would recommend it!
