We loved being able to sightsee without worrying about driving or parking. We were able to see better being up high and away from obstructions. We also loved the recordings. The only negative was that some outlets didn’t work on the buses. I felt like we missed out on some interesting information. Another thing to consider, there is no shade. Bring along some sunglasses, a hat, and a jacket. The later it gets, the cooler it becomes outside. We were so grateful that we could go back downstairs and enjoy the heat when the wind and temperature became unbearable.

A good way to get around Hollywood, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and surrounding areas. The recorded commentary provides interesting facts about some of the sights along the way. The separate tour of the homes of the stars climbs into the Hollywood Hills for some good views. The app allows you to find out when the next bus is due to arrive at your stop.

This was nice to see more without being on my feet the whole time. They stop and you can get off and get back on when the next bus comes around. Very nice tour and bus and staff. The staff were all friendly and professional. They didn’t run us down and try to force us to buy like the other similar companies.
