4.00Our tour guide Jose was so knowledgeable and you could tell he really enjoys what he does and works hard to give everyone an experience. We had a nice 8-9 person group and the tour is worth it, to let someone else do the driving while taking in the sites. But, I rated it a 4-Star because the Hollywood Sign stop was the biggest highlight. The others were nice but I think if they swapped the Valley overlook (which was rather "meh" aside from the views) -for a more engaging stop, that would have make this tour a 5-Star.
Great experience

5.00Jon was a great guide. We loved this hike! It turned out to be the favorite thing we did. Plan longer than 2.5 hours it really depends on the pace of others in your group.
Great experience!
