This is the first bus tour I’ve ever taken so I don’t have much experience to compare but I’m going to do my best. The driver/narrator on these tours can make a big difference in the quality of the tour. Our guy was OK but not as talkative or as humorous as I personally would have enjoyed. That aside, the advice I can give you is this tour has the nicest waiting area of any of the other tour offices we saw. There are souvenirs, hats, drinks and air conditioning. The two hour tour we took starts hourly and cost $39/person after tax, etc. The bus was open air but fully covered so the hot sun the day we toured was not a problem. We saw several celebrity homes, filming locations, famous streets and historical sites. There were a couple stops for photo opportunities. All in all the two hour tour delivered exactly what they advertised in a clean, modern vehicle with a nice waiting area/office. So that is why the top rating. The narrator is the luck of the draw where ever you go. We parked behind the Blessed Sacrament Catholic church just down the street for $10 for the day. If you are into Hollywood, celebrities and history, this is the tour for you.
