Traveller Tips

Meeting point is at a coffee house in Santa Monica so, if you can, get there early and enjoy coffee and croissant before departure.

Great, highly recommended if you want to see most of the attractions in LA in one day.

If you won't be back to Santa Monica I would recommend arriving early to walk the pier.

Great tour!

Krista_B, Mar 2023

Great tour! Our guide was wonderful, he gave us great information on what we were seeing throughout the day. It was a great way to see highlights of the city. Would definitely recommend!

It was great experience ...

Dagadu_G, Mar 2023

It was great experience They have covered more places Totally worth it . Pick up and drop off was on time

First timers in LA: must do!

Susan_G, Mar 2023

We did a private tour, just 4 of us plus our guide. Monty picked us up at our hotel and was by far the best tour guide we have ever had. We saw everything we wanted to see plus some. The Santa Monica Pier, Venice, Beverly Hills, Hollywood Walk of Fame, Farmer’s Market, Griffith Observatory, Hollywood sign, etc. Monty was extremely knowledgeable, timely, interesting, and fun. He went above and beyond. My 17 year old son said it was the best day of his life…that good. Worth every penny.

Amazing full day tour.

Susan_K, Mar 2023

What a great tour, we saw so much in one day. Added bonus was that it was Oscars weekend & when we were at Hollywood Boulevard they were getting ready for the ceremony it was brilliant seeing the life size Oscar statues. Beverly Hills was nice, also The Grove & Farmers Market. There is plenty of time spent at each stop. Unfortunately for us it was raining really heavy so we didn’t get to see the Hollywood sign from the Observatory but we still had a great time!

Not the best

Brandy_N, Mar 2023

I have been on lots of tours around the world and this one just wasn’t very organized. Our tour guide Joseph was nice but definitely not worth the money or the hours 8am-almost 630/7pm. I get the traffic but it could be planned out a lot better. And we would get dropped off for about 20-35 mins and then he’d come pick us up. He’s the driver and guide. We had a rental car and should have just driven around ourselves. Definitely know better.

Had a great time touring...

Lacy_K, Mar 2023

Had a great time touring Southern California. Would definitely recommend this tour to see the major sites.

Very impressive

Mark_S, Mar 2023

Great day out. Saw lots. Guide Joseph very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend. When they say a full day, they mean a full day.

Great day.

Mark_P, Mar 2023

George gave a great presentation. Was very informative and was enjoyable to go with. I would recommend this for families.

Amazing!

Megan_R, Mar 2023

Guide

Betty_S, Mar 2023

Very good guide.Weather was rainy and foggy. There were things we could not see and some streets closed but our guide still made it fun and interesting and a really good tour.

Great driver and tour...

Andria_R, Mar 2023

Tour

Sonia_J, Mar 2023

It was nice to see the sights and hear the history of the locations. The guide was knowledgeable and interactive

Great Way To See L.A.

Farah_A, Mar 2023

Great way to see L.A. in a short time. George was our tour guide and driver. He was very knowledgeable, allowing plenty of time to explore independently. This tour is best on the first day, since you will be able to explore and see which part you can experience on your own. Downside, too much time on Rodeo drive and not enough time at Griffith Observatory. Overall, great experience.

Would highly recommend

Catherine_R, Mar 2023

Excellent tour guide and would highly recommend. You get to see everything you would want in a great air conditioned coach with a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide. We particularly liked the fact that you are told lots of facts about an area and given recommended areas to visit ( both now and later) and then given time to look at each area by yourselves before being warmly greeted back on the coach. Definitely a full day and so great value for money

Great day out in Los Angeles

Vanessa_B, Mar 2023

Great day out to see the great parts of Los Angeles. Key was very informative. I got to learn a lot about Los Angeles. My only tip would be during the winter months perhaps change the tour around, so that guests end up at Venice and Santa Monica beaches.

Amazing experience

Rodrigo_I, Mar 2023

The Host was amazing ! This Tour is a must for anyone going to California. The views were breath taking and you get to see so much, Thank you!

Visiting LA in one day!

Cristina_P, Mar 2023

What an amazing tour! We loved Santa Monica Pierre, and Venice Beach. It was refreshing since we went there first thing in the morning. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and told us a lot of historic things about Los Angeles. Overall, a great experience. This tour is definitely worth it.
