5.00We had a great tour. Very informative and the tour guide made the journey very enjoyable and funny. We got picked up at 7:30am from Anaheim and was back in Anaheim by 4:30pm. So altogether a 9 hour tour, great value for money! We were on a small bus which was perfect, not too crowded. We got to see everything we wanted so all round a lovely day!
Enjoyable and Sufficient Trip

5.00Don’t normally do bus trips so we were a bit apprehensive - but we shouldn’t have worried! We arrived at the meeting point to be greeted by a rep who registered us in and explained everything we needed to know. Our driver/tour guide Jeff was so knowledgeable and made the tour really interesting. It was a long tour so really good value for money and Jeff worked really hard to engage everyone on the bus - and it worked ! Would definitely use this company again !
Complete and convenient

5.00This Los Angeles tour was absolutely excellent from start to finish and is an easy 10/10 experience. It’s the perfect way to see the city, especially if you want a well‑rounded overview without feeling rushed. One of my favorite stops was the farmer’s market. It was vibrant, full of great food options, and a fantastic place to experience local culture. It felt like a true highlight rather than a quick add‑on. The tour does an amazing job of covering all the major sights in Los Angeles. From iconic landmarks to neighborhoods you’ve seen in movies and TV, everything was thoughtfully included and well explained. The pacing was great, giving you time to enjoy each stop while still seeing a lot in one day. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging, sharing interesting facts and stories that made the experience even more memorable. You learn so much about LA’s history, entertainment scene, and culture without it ever feeling like a lecture. If you’re visiting Los Angeles for the first time — or even if you’ve been before — this tour is a fantastic way to experience the city. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone.
Fantastic day!

5.00Great day, saw many sights and had a great time. Did feel rushed at a couple of points so would have liked less stops and a bit more time especially for lunch.
