Decent tour but too much of the time was spent looking at celebrity houses and compounds. Sitting in the middle or back of the van phohibited views of houses or anything memorable. For nearly $100.00, I expected to see at least one beach or pier but this tour was only inner city. The Farmers’ Market stop was nice!

Hi Melissa, Thank you for taking time out to write this review. Thank you for mentioning that our tour goes through the inner city (Downtown Los Angeles) as we believe it is very important to include this portion of LA—it’s where our city was born, after all! We do want to note that while it does begin in the inner part of the city, our tour travels into the mountains high above the city (over 1000 feet up!) in Griffith Park. With views of the city — and of the Hollywood sign — it is a great place to have a bird’s eye view of everything. A nice precursor before heading into the heart of Hollywood, Sunset Strip, Beverly Hills and the Farmers Market. We also believe that the $84.00 cost for this tour is very competitive during these inflationary times. Thank you for also mentioning we do go by the homes of movie stars and mansions! We believe no tour to Los Angeles is complete without a slight portion dedicated to this phenomenon. As far as visibility from the vehicle; we are sorry you did not find it sufficient. All vehicles have extra large windows for visibility and an extra-high roof. For safety and regulations, we do not cut the tops off of our vehicles and choose to have all vehicles be an enclosed climate controlled environment that allows everyone to hear their guide. Sorry, but I’m not sure where you read that we go to the beaches. In over 34 years of showing folks around the LA area, this has always been a historic and sightseeing tour. Please check our advertised listing. We hope this explanation helps clear some of your concerns up, and we do hope you give us another chance next time you pass through Los Angeles. Happy travels!

So glad we took the opportunity and did this tour! The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and even made an extra stop to see the Hollywood sign when the weather was better. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking to get a taste of LA.

Hi Lyndsey, Thank you for writing this review. It is great you found you guide to be extremely knowledgeable! We are very proud to say that our city tour is the longest running city of LA, Hollywood, and Beverly Hills. Since 1988 we have been acclimating knowledge of the LA area. The smaller groups really help us convey this knowledge is a fun and interactive way. I am glad your guide was able to add an extra stop to see the Hollywood Sign. With LA's mostly dry climate viewing the sign is usually no problem. But on some days its hard to see. Thanks for the High recommendation! See you the neat time you pass through southern California!
