10/10 would recommend! This tour gave us everything we wanted to see, and more. We had the amazing Bing as our tour guide, she was the best! Such a friendly, lovely, and knowledgeable guide. Pick up from the location was easy, and her communication about logistics for each spot was perfect- letting us know the ‘do’s and don’ts’ and where to meet her/ how long we had to explore each stop. Have already recommended this tour to friends:) thank you again Bing! You made our day in LA one to remember!

I loved this tour! I highly recommend! You'll learn a lot and have only a few other passengers in the vehicle with you. Our guide was helpful and concerned about the time we were having

The tour lasted about 5 hours and was a great way to see the highlights of the area around downtown Los Angeles. The guide we had was Paul and he was knowledgeable and friendly and had lots of stories pertaining to all the places we went to visit. We are long term Californians but from near San Francisco so we have never spent time in downtown LA. It was a nice pace and we were able to see lots of different aspects of the city and not just the tourist attractions. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting this city.
