5.00It was the perfect day in LA! We are from Orange County and are hosting a German exchange student. I wanted to show her the sites of LA but the thought of navigating traffic and parking stressed me out. I enjoyed being driven around and hearing about all the sites. Highly recommend if you’re visiting from out of town or even if you live in the area.

5.00Me and my teenage daughter went on this excursion and it was fantastic. We got picked up from our hotel and taken to the main point to collect the mini bus. We got to see so many great sites and the tour guide was so knowledgeable, we wouldn't have got this going by ourselves. We went to Santa Monica Beach, Venice Beach, Beverly Hills, Rodio Drive, Farmers Market (the food is delicious) Griffiths Observatory where you can see the Hollywood sign from. End at the walk of fame for us as our hotel was nearby. You get time at each location to wander round, grab food and gifts. I would highly recommend this tour, worth every penny

5.00It’s easy to find the starting point of the tour and there’s an adjacent parking structure which is 20$ for a full day of parking. Steven is a great driver and guide on this tour and the bus itself is convenient. If you haven’t been around LA yet this tour is a great opportunity to discover the LA highlights in just a day. It’s really a full day packed with interesting stops and information along the way. There’s 30 mins to 1 hour per stop to go your own way and discover the area a bit. Would def recommend, even if you already visited some of the highlights like we did.
