Check out the BEST Los Angeles has to offer on this half-day interactive sightseeing experience! Take a seat on one of our Climate-Controlled Buses as your fun and entertaining driver-guide gives you an insider look at LA culture, history, landmarks, and hot spots. This tour is an excellent mix of time spent on the bus sightseeing and exploring different stops yourself!

(NEW) You can now choose to begin your tour in Hollywood or Santa Monica! (Your first stop will either be Santa Monica or Hollywood, depending on where your tour begins)

1st Stop: Santa Monica Pier or Hollywood (45-Minutes)

2nd Stop: The Grove & Farmer's Market (75 Minutes - Lunch/Shopping)

3rd Stop: The Griffith Observatory (45 Minutes).

The ONLY Half-Day Tour in LA! Unlike competitor tours, which last 7-9 hours (or longer with hotel pick-ups), we're proud to offer a streamlined, half-day option that gives you all the highlights without taking up your entire day!
