Fun

Greg_M, Jan 2023

I really enjoyed Gabe’s insight, personality and knowledge. He was lighthearted and down to earth; he tailored our tour based on our conversations and knew extensively about US film history as well as the contemporary film world.

Awesome tour !

The guide’s energy, enthusiasm, in-depth knowledge and interaction with us visitors were inspiring. He was available on time and put in more time than was allotted. There were plenty of details and anecdotes, and plenty of dialogue, too. Truly enjoyable time, worth the money.

A personal tour of cinematic history

GREG_M, Apr 2021

Gabriel is a knowledgeable tour guide-passionate about film and film history. This tour is centered around historical theaters and buildings with key facts about the film industry sprinkled in. While it takes place mostly on Hollywood Blvd, It is not the typical stroll on the walk of fame. He is open to answering questions during the tour and he ends the tour at a fascinating place. You’ll have to take the tour to find out where...

Great Tour, Very Informative

David_P, Jul 2020

The tour guide had a lot of knowledge and experience in the film industry. We learned a great deal of interesting history on the tour. We stopped at many historical locations in the area and heard the stories behind them. We got a lot more out of our visit with the guide than we would have walking around on our own.
