We were on the LA City Tour in Jan 2018 with Alberto as our guide. We had booked this tour prior to arriving in Long Beach for a cruise. We had also specifically asked that we be put in the same group as our friends staying at a different hotel, but this was not to be. But it turned out ok. Our driver Alberto was very prompt in picking us up at the Queen Mary. He was very knowledgeable about the city, it's history, and it's people. If you are looking for a leisure tour with long visits at each attraction, this is not the tour for you. At times I did feel rushed, but after looking back at everything we saw, I can see why we needed to hurry. I wanted the highlights and that is exactly what we got. I think we got a few extra stops that our friends from the other group did not. Lunch at Mel's was very enjoyable especially since Alberto joined my husband and I at our table. Should I ever get the opportunity to visit LA again, I am now prepared to know where I want to spend more time. Highly recommend this tour, and hope you get Alberto. An added bonus, Alberto used to do tours at the Queen Mary and gave us some tips on what to see and where to go once we got back to the Queen. Wish he could have come with us for a tour. Thanks Alberto!!!
