Great day.

wray_s, Apr 2023

Great tour with excellent tour narrator. For a 4 hour tour it’s a perfect option to get a taste of Hollywood.

Great tour!

Ariane_B, Apr 2023

Excellent tour guide! Very well-informed about LA and Hollywood. Will recommend to friends and family.

Memorable tour!

Jackson_Y, Apr 2023

No problem meeting up with the tour as the van arrived early and was waiting for us at the meeting point when we reached there. Tour guide was very friendly and provided good information/history on the various points of interest along the tour, he also helped us with picture taking. At the end of the tour we were able to get dropped off at our hotel nearby that we were staying in. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this tour!

Tour Extraordinaire at a great price!

Paul was an excellent tour guide, informative, funny and punctual with stops and pick ups. He also personalized the tour to make it interactive.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Fun and fantastic intro to LA!!

Treewillia, Jul 2022

Paul was a terrific tour guide. His tour van was very clean and comfortable for my family of four. We shared the tour with another family of four. Paul was great with all age groups, including my two teenagers. We saw so much in those four hours, and Paul certainly did seem to know all the short cuts, best parking spots, etc. to pack in as much as possible. His knowledge of LA, Hollywood, and Beverly Hills, as well as the world in general was amazing!! Thanks so much for a fun and informative afternoon!!

Awesome tour

Swati_T, Jun 2022

Very informative and pleasant experience. Paul was super friendly and accommodating and made sure we felt comfortable

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Hi Swati, Thank for reviewing Paul's tour as "Awesome" Since 1988 our goal has always to make people feel comfortable while touring this big intimating city!

Excellent Tour for limited time in LA

David_S, May 2022

We were very happy with the tour and recommend it to anyone with limited time in LA. Saw a good amount of LA in a 4 hour period and left feeling like we saw all of the attractions you hear about. Great tour guide. Unfortunately we forgot her name, but she was a local who was very friendly, easy to chat with, and provided a ton of information. Excellent experience.

Absolutely priceless tour

William_L, Feb 2022

Our tour guide (Paul) immediately made us feel welcome. He was so knowledgeable and exceeded our expectations. Our trips focus was to see the Super Bowl 2022 but as we remember our trip years from now, Paul's tour of LA will be treasured as a highlight of our trip.

Response from Host, Mar 2022

Hi William, Thank you so much for sharing your tour experience. Paul has been showing folks around the LA area for over 40 years. We also love to travel, and we know that connecting with a local is a great way to feel welcome. For many years we use to do tours in larger vehicles, the tours were great but that personal connection was not as strong. Traveling to a large city for such a huge event like the Supper Bowl can be intimidating. We are so glad that Paul made you feel welcome and his knowledge exceeded your expatiations and the experience was Absolutely priceless! We are so moved that the tour was the highlight of your trip!!

Loving LA

MaryAnn_C, Feb 2022

Our tour guide Bing was so knowledgeable about everything on our tour! She was fascinating and fun and could answer any of our questions. Would highly recommend this tour!

Response from Host, Mar 2022

Hi MaryAnn. Thanks for your review "Loving LA" We are so glad you found Bing to be so knowledgeable and fun. One of the great things about our smaller groups is interacting with our guests. I am so glad you got answers to your questions on the tour. Thanks so much for the high recommendation!

Driver was very...

Chester_C, Nov 2021

Driver was very informative and we enjoyed her knowledge of the area. She was very helpful and we had a good time.

Super exciting!

Carolyn_P, Aug 2021

My most memorable part of the tour was the Observatory where I was able to view the Hollywood sign. Overall the entire tour was great. Dave was a great tour guide, very informative, and knowledgeable. I learned a lot.

Response from Host, Oct 2021

Hi Carolyn, It is great that you learned a lot on the tour. After 34 years of showing people around this very large and historic city we love it when people not only have fun with the great scenic and memorable views from up in the hills at the world renowned Griffith park observatory (elevation 1135 feet), and home of the Hollywood celebrities, but to go home having really learned about the unique culture and history of the nations second largest city!!

lauren_s, Jul 2021

This tour was amazing and the guide was one of the best guides I’ve had on a tour. She was informative about everything. Along with the typical sites she was more than willing to share about local spots. You get your money’s worth out of this tour for sure. I highly recommend.

Really Good Tour

ROBERTTA_G, Jun 2021

The tour was very nice, detailed and informative. The tour guide was nice and gave a lot of historical information on LA and California. She hit all the hot spots of LA including Rodeo drive, Sunset Blvd, and the Staples Center. I would definitely recommend this tour to someone that has never been to California before and would like to see the site and know the history.

Response from Host, Jul 2021

Hi Robertta, Thanks for rating your tour very nice. It's great you got a lot of historical information and you saw hot spots. Thank you for the recommendation! Happy travels.
