5.00Great tour! Our tour guide, Colin, was very engaging and informative. Nothing is as close as you think it is when you envision LA from the movies etc. I fully appreciate now, having been on the tour, the skill to drive in such intense traffic, and the ease you have as a guest to swiftly hop on and off at each site. Instead of having to rent a car, navigate stressful traffic, try to find and pay for parking, risk getting a ticket for not parking in the right spot etc. Forget it! If you want to see all the sites of the city, do yourself a favor and book to a have a stress-free, enjoyable experience. You'll be glad you did as you bypass gridlock in the bus lane.

5.00Good experience if you have limited time. Our driver/guide (Joseph) kept us entertained throughout. You’d get 30-40 mins per spot, about an hour for lunch. We were a group of 8 with 3 kids. Our coach had 23 people. Water was provided. Overall a good experience.

Great Tour of LA

5.00This tour was a great way to see LA in a day. It hit all the major attractions allowing enough time at each for a good look around, and saved us hiring a car and tackling the LA traffic! We were also given a lot of information about LA by our driver Steven. Pick up and return to our hotel was seamless and communication from the company was excellent at all times. We would highly recommend this as a way to see as much as you can in a day.
Fun from Start to Finish

5.00My tour started out with Michael who was so good humored and was just a ray of sunshine. He insisted we all had pictures taken in Hollywood and played fun games until we joined the main tour in Santa Monica. I was put in Jeff’s bus and he kept us constantly entertained throughout the tour. We stopped in great locations and had time to enjoy every stop. I highly recommend this tour.
Excellent
