This truly is the best tour for someone who only has one day in LA. We saw all the hot spots with a not-too-long, not-too-short amount of time to explore everywhere we went. All the passengers were great & we all took pics for each other at stops. Since you’re seeing everything in one day, wear your walking shoes! I definitely found myself jogging to explore everything I wanted to see at each spot, but well-worth it for seeing such a huge city in one day! I especially liked how much info our guide provided along the way, and the fact that there are ports for phone chargers at each seat took the stress off of needing to make a phone battery last the whole day. We drove through Santa Monica, stopped in Venice, stopped in Beverly Hills/Rodeo Dr, went to the Farmer’s Market for lunch and shopping, went to Griffith Observatory (closed due to covid, but offered a great view of the Hollywood sign and downtown LA), and walked amongst the stars on Hollywood Blvd (plus more time for shopping).

Amazing super complete tour!!

You get to see all of LA’s landmarks in just 7hrs! It’s amazing. Just the perfect amount of time to take pictures and explore the area. The guide, Mark, has been living in the city for over 20 years and it’s an expert when it comes to the film industry, LAs anecdotes and facts! The bus is super comfy and they have fresh water on board. This is the best tour you can do!!

A nice day trip

The tour was very nice. I would have only wished for a longer stay in Santa Monica. We only had a 10 minute photo stop. At the other stops we always had a 20-30 minute break. Otherwise we had seen the most important parts of LA. Maybe more (historical) information about the stops would have been nice.
