5.00Just a quick glimpse at these iconic places, but sufficient. Our tour guide Jeff was informative and friendly. Loved Michael’s humour, friendliness and his ability to spin a good yarn.

5.00This experience was definitely worth the time and was well priced. It was a day well spent. Our tour guide George was instrumental in making the day memorable. He was very informed, pointed out items of interest and even had music to accompany the narrative! The stops were well timed and restrooms pointed out. We had adequate time to take photos, view the surroundings and make purchases. I highly recommend this tour and will definitely love to repeat touring with this company in the future.
Worth the money and time....

4.00The tour driver George was great. He told a few corny jokes but he was very talkative and informative about what you see. It is a lot of walking and the tour total time will be 8-10 hours of your day. So you better not have plans other than this. Getting on and off the bus and walking to a few of the spots takes half the time you have at some of the areas ( Rodeo drive as an example). Drop off point is about a block and a half away from Rodeo because the buses are not allowed to drive on it.
It was a great intro to...

4.00This was a fabulous tour and our tour guide was funny and informative. We got to see lots of see lots of great aspects of LA. One concern I had was that after my payment was confirmed on Friday in LA, there was a fraud charge on my card in San Diego. It could have been a coincident, but since I live in another state, I highly doubt it. So maybe their system was hacked.
