Phenomenal!

Phenomenal! The tour guide Ms. Key made the experience down to earth and welcoming to each individual guest. Her voice added animation to the land marks. She had a cool radio talk show voice that is unforgettable. I like the historical perspective she presented. It was diverse and it added a unique element to LA’s culture and history. I actually learned a lot without being bored. Her music choices kept us engaged along the ride with both old school and new school clean versions of hit songs from every genre. I found myself singing along with the music and snapping my fingers trying not to embarrass myself. Ms. Key went over and beyond when she and the group sang happy birthday to myself and the other passengers who had a birthday in November. Easy 5 stars!
Highly recommended day out!

This was my first time visiting LA and I am very grateful that I booked this tour! It was absolutely amazing. We had plenty of time at every stop and the bus was also very comfortable. Keep up the good work guys! Thanks!

It’s a very quick pit stop at popular places around LA. You really don’t get much time at each. A lot of the travellers we were with spent less time than us and were already back on the bus early. We felt guilty enjoying the sites for the allotted time.
Fun day out

Great tour to get a glimpse of LA in a day. Tour guide was great, we had a fun day. If you have more time, you will have all the information you need to return to places you would like to explore further.

There was so much to see on this tour. Our guide was amazing. Very knowledgeable and informative. We saw all the hot spots and many other area's of interest. I went by myself and felt totally comfortable. I would do this tour again and highly recommend doing it if you are in the area and want to see LA.

This was an exceptionally good tour. I have been to LA a couple of times before but joined friends on this tour for whom LA was a first. Our guide, Raul, a native, had such passion and knowledge of his home that I felt I saw LA in a new light and developed even greater appreciation for this vibrant and creative city. I would highly recommend this tour either as a valuable introduction before exploring more, or as a comprehensive tour if you are limited with time.

Tour was great! It was nice to be able to see the top spots in LA without having to find parking and being given information about each spot. The right amount of time was given at each location to get a good snapshot of it.. our tour guide was great with information.
What a day in LA!
