LA Half-Day Tour: Iconic Sights, Smooth Ride, and Just Enough Time to Soak Up the City’s Energy

5.00This tour is meant as a way to taste the sites, so it is not for anyone who wants time to dive into one thing for too long. Really loved it for a day 1 so I could get the layout of the city, and avoid driving to all the spots, fighting for parking, and navigating on my own. Chelsee was a great source of information and helpful tips for photos. Thanks for a great day!
Best Tour Ever!
