Why do we call it "The Perfect LA Tour"? You see everything you want, it’s super fun and it doesn’t take all day. While other companies make you book two separate tours see the best sights in LA, or have you trapped on a bus for 8 hours, we offer a tour that takes you to the top spots, lets you explore with plenty of time, and get you back to the beach in time to enjoy the rest of your evening.
This is a fully narrated tour of Los Angeles aboard clean, comfortable, convertible buses with 4 fun stops along the way. In between stops you'll learn about the history of Los Angeles, see movie studios, historic filming locations, the Sunset Strip, music venues, crime scenes, popular restaurants, hotels, celebrity homes & more. All of the traditional Los Angeles sightseeing covered in a day.

Unfortunately the tour...

1.00Unfortunately the tour guide never showed so we were left stranded at our hotel pick up. We still have not heard from this tour guide even though we have repeatedly tried to contact them. So I would not recommend.
Chad was our guide. He...

5.00Chad was our guide. He was amazingly knowledgeable and very entertaining. I think everyone on the van had a really good time!

1.00Less than 24 hours notice that our tour is not going, no promotional T shirts as advertised and no information except the company he shafted us to. If they don't close, book elsewhere so you may get your tour.
Horrible and a waste of a lot of time.....

1.00Absolutely terrible. Dilapidated vehicle, roof taped on, wet fabric seats that stunk really bad. Completely inappropriate comments about school age girls which made our daughter very uncomfortable. We spent HOURS driving around neighborhoods for the guide to say that "maybe" or "he's heard or read that" so and so lives here, had a photo taken here, etc....30 minutes at walk of fame, 30 minutes at Rodeo Dr. Not for families, if we could have gotten back to our vehicle- we would have. Waste of time.
Disappointing

2.00The guide's commentary and the content of the tour was decent. However, I would never recommend this tour because of the following: #1 the condition of the vehicle (nonworking seatbelts, blown out/taped back window, worn shocks...) #2 It was filthy! Open Cheetos bag with strewn Cheetos in front of my foot. Jammed empty food containers and water bottles visible under driver's seat, more empty water bottles up front and left in the pocket by previous customers.
Great time led by Elincia

5.00I had a great time on this tour! They even made sure that I found my way to the meet up spot. Elincia was my tour guide and I found myself laughing at every joke she made! Best for seeing highlights of L.A. and plenty of places to shop from too!
Get to know the neighborhood

4.00You’ll get lots of fun facts and scenery. Drive past beverly hills, homes, a very American marketplace with stores and food. Time went by quickly! Was great fun. The ‘jokes’ however are conservative in nature: not really lhbtiq friendly/women empowering. But he… maybe that’s USA?

5.00The guide was very knowledgeable, which you would expect. But he incorporated many improvisations that made the tour so much more informative and interesting!
Fun fun fun!

5.00Driver Bee was so knowledgeable and FUN! So many great places we traveled to! Well worth it! Any longer tour would have been too long.

5.00Great driver, great tour for seeing all the Hollywood/Beverly Hills highlights in a half day tour. Nice to have time at a few locations without having to wait for another bus.
