Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. This was an excellent trip. She described so many buildings and attractions it was mind-boggling. I didn’t hear anyone ask her a question where she didn’t know the answer! Highly informative and very fun!

Excellent guide, great route

Published on Jan, 2025

CHAD rocked! Traveling solo for work and had a great time. Felt comfortable with the tour size and the locations. I will warn you, my tour was after the palisade fires so less people in general were out. I felt the stop times were adequate and enough to explore the areas. Definitely recommend.

Great short tour of Hollywood

Published on Jan, 2025

Great tour
