This 5-hour Grand City Tour gives travelers a well-rounded Los Angeles sightseeing experience, covering approximately 30–35 miles across Downtown LA, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Griffith Park, and the Fairfax District. What sets this tour apart is small-group comfort, live storytelling, personal guide interaction, and experience guiding visitors since 1988.
Guests enjoy five memorable stops: Downtown LA/Walt Disney Concert Hall, Griffith Observatory with Hollywood Sign views, Hollywood Boulevard and the TCL Chinese Theatre, Beverly Hills/Rodeo Drive, and the historic Original Farmers Market for lunch, a landmark since 1934 with many food choices.
Our small-group format gives guests more contact with the guide, more chances to ask questions, and a more personal connection to LA’s neighborhoods and landmarks.

5.00Taking a tour with Dave was the best way we could've ended our vacation. The van was spacious, and, after days of walking in the heat, the AC was heavenly. A stop at the Farmer's Market wasn't in the itinerary, but was well appreciated.
Great tour with Bing

5.00Our LA City Tour was in an 8-10 person air conditioned van and our Tour Guide Bing was fantastic! Her 40 yr personal insight into the history of LA and all of the major landmarks and their changes over the years made this tour superior over other “canned” tours. We also really enjoyed being able to see many of the celebrity homes, learning about their current value, historical ownership and “The Juice”. So - we strongly recommend Bing and Guidline Tours over the other impersonal large or open truck tours!
Highly recommend

4.00It's a good tour if you don't have a lot of time and want to get a general overview of LA. I personally would have liked more time to wander around Hollywood Blvd, and some time in West Hollywood, and less time in Downtown LA.
Easy tour. Very...
