4.00Covered a lot of ground. Would have preferred to get closer to Hollywood sign and spend more time at some spots e.g. Santa Monica and Observatory. Driver helpful and friendly. Unexpected change of driver during transfer from pickup to tour broke connection with other guests and initial driver.

5.00For me, it is a very good way to see the city in a day and everything was great with the handler. My hotel was the first pickup spot that day and the shuttle arrived at the hotel about 10 minutes earlier than scheduled. Stopped at several hotels for pickup on the way to Santa Monica Pier. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Free bottled water provided.
A must

4.00This tour was a great way to see the famous LA sights without worrying about transport or navigating the LA traffic. The tour operator was knowledgeable of the history and gave great commentary. To see Santa Monica, Venice Beach, Beverly Hills, Griffith Park and Hollywood Walk of Fame in one day was impressive!
