4.00Our guide Gregory was good, but the overall planning felt very disorganized. The guide and the bus driver couldn't decide if they were working together. While the driver was fine, they didn't communicate very well after. When I emailed the tour company, I asked if there was a good place to park near the meeting place, and I got an email two hours before the meeting time telling me to use "Spot Hero". Not a good experience. Otherwise, good content, well spaced out. Wish there was a better stop-over somewhere for lunch.
Amazing tour

3.00Our tour guide was Gregory and he was pretty fun. The bus that we rode on was good. The only reason I am giving this review an average rating is that we should have stayed at the Griffith Observatory for at least 2 hours. We only stayed for one hour which wasn't enough time to watch the planetarium show. You might want to consider extending the time there. I would also recommend finding a spot closer to the Hollywood sign for better photo opportunities. Overall, good.
An entertaining and interesting tour.

4.00I thought the tour guide was very good. I believe his name was Gregory. He was entertaining and made a point of chatting with each person on the tour. When we were driving through Hollywood he was very knowledgable about the area & pointed out many interesting places. He also made sure everyone knew where to meet up again when visiting the Gerry Centre and Griffith Observatory. Very unfortunate that the traffic leading up to the Observatory was bumper to bumper so our time there was very limited as I found it very interesting and would love to have spent more time there.
