Two seperate routes covering the city and coast. - This covers two routes covering the central sites which takes about an hour to complete, and meets with the coastal route bus in Beveley Hills which also takes about an hour.

Good audio info, not very frequent pick ups ( might be cos in Feb), LA is sprawling so takes time & hopping on/ off diff - We pre booked this as we like to get a feel for a city from the tours. We also booked the celebrity tour. We found the celebrity tour quite a nice ride out around the Hollywood Hills, and Shara was a fun guide with some good insights. To be honest we didn’t really see actual celebrity houses, we saw gates, buildings from a distance, information about former owners, and little titbits of info about stars. Often we were just passing places as we got told who lived/ had lived there. The houses you could see included Samuel L Jackson, at a distance, Adele’s ( formerly Stallone’s), Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher’s houses. So ride out was nice, some interesting titbits but basically a snooping trail. The LA bus tour was only every hour which made the hopping on and off a little prolonged. The audio tour was informative, but LA is sprawling so quite difficult to do that much. Of course you can’t judge that till you’ve done the loop. Useful to get to Santa Monica, once you get a grip of where the stops are.

Big Bus LA - Bus very slow and very crowded. There’s really not much to see from the bus. Took a long time to get from one stop to the next.

Disrespectful staff - I used the bus for the first time, not knowing some not specified information in the flyer that was given to me. The majority of the personnel were not friendly. The lady driving one of the buses even yelled at me. I got really shocked as I always try to be as respectful as possible. I am honestly not expecting flowers and champagne. However, if I’m paying for a service, I at least expect no to be yelled out by part of the staff. This was pretty disappointing and I do not recommend this service.
