If you're short on time, do this tour! - I very much enjoyed this tour! I thought it would be a big bus with tons of people, but it was a smaller comfortable "shuttle" and the guide was awesome! It was relaxed but we covered a lot of iconic spots. I never felt too rushed. Water was provided, food and restrooms were easy to find. Weather was perfect in Feb, just needed a sweater or light jacket.

Unique Experience! - The tour was fantastic. Our driver was both entertaining and informative, sharing numerous stories about LA and its rich history. However, it's important to note that this isn't a traditional guided tour. The driver/guide drops you off at various locations, provides information about the main attractions, and tells you when to return to the meeting point. From there, you're free to explore on your own. Despite this, they allocate ample time for you to thoroughly enjoy and explore each stop.

Details & a Flat - That it’s packed full of information, and that it is indeed the entire day. Colin is well versed in the history of the entertainment world and its relationship to what we drove by and what we stopped to see.

Epic - making memories with my daughter - Absolute epic day touring the must sees of LA and surrounding areas with my teenage daughter. The guides put their knowledge to work providing amazing info, history and personality for each site we visit and more (all the drive bys, etc). I laughed, I teared up a couple times recalling special memories I had of certain locations. Highly recommend this tour. So glad we spent a day doing this!

Good tour of the city - I spent this tour on a one day layover in LA. I was promptly picked up at hotel and driven to the loading spot. The boarding process is NOT consumer friendly. The large groups and couples get to board first and solo travelers get to sit in the crappy seats. People should board by the date of their reservation.
Our driver Joe was great. He was very informative and was funny. Our first stop at Santa Monica pier was good for a walk but as we were so early most things were closed. Our next stop was Venice beach which is filled with souvenir shops, some eateries and again we were a bit early but there are plenty of walking paths.
Stop 3 was Beverly Hills/Rodeo drive. We had about 40” to grab a snack or shop. Stop 4 at the famous farmers market gave us 60” so there was plenty of time to eat or shop. There is a wide variety of cuisine including pizza, , French, Mexican, vegetarian and seafood.I ate at Roxy and Jo’s and had the fish taco special which was two excellant fish tacos for $15.
Stop 5 was the famous Griffin Observatory which offers excellant views of the Hollywood sign and downtown LA.
Our last stop was the walk of fame/ Dolby theatre. The area is pretty facky and dirty but was fun. They were setting up for the oscars so that was fun to see.
The trip concluded with hotel drop off.
The day was a good way to see the city, get some history and not have to worry about transportation. It is a very long day as I was picked up at 830am and was dropped off at my hotel near LAX at 630pm. I feel pricing was fair and joe was a great guide. I would reccomend this tour.
