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.

1.00It was not pleasant, we were very disappointed, the "guide" was not helpful even though he wanted a $20 tip per person, like a tip is not something u have to earn. Now he knows he's way around LA, but didn't deliver on what we sign for, Hollywood sign and walk of fame.
Very Disappointing tour

1.00Very far from Hollywood sign and location did not have a clear view to take pictures. Outdoor electrical Cables impeded the clear view. Not much time (30) spent on the Walk of Fame. Too much time spent on viewing celebrities home that were not even visible due to the front lawn landscape and hidden entrances. The tour guide made a few inappropriate remarks, such as high school girls skirts, “ the higher the grade the shorter the skirt. Oh well, if you have it they can flaunted”, further talking too much about gay community or people and badging political figures. This was a vacation event, not a political one or sexual orientation tour. The sign suggesting a $20 per person tip is not appropriate.
Significant experience in a short time.
