5.00had such a good time on this tour. It covered all the classic LA spots without feeling rushed. Santa Monica Pier and Venice Beach were such a vibe, Rodeo Drive was fun for people-watching, and The Grove/Farmers Market was a great stop for food. I loved that we got views of the Hollywood Sign and a quick visit to Griffith Observatory too. The route is super convenient if you don’t want to deal with LA traffic yourself. Overall, a really easy and enjoyable way to see a big chunk of LA in one day.
Nice and sweet

5.00This trip was amazing from start to finish. I couldn't make it to the original pickup so they very kindly sent me details of where to get them. The guide, I think his name was Jack was outstanding. He gave a running commentary for the whole journey and was so very friendly. The customer service is amazing and I would have no hesitation in recommending or booking again. Thanks for everything.
It was really cool...
