Typical City Tour Great Overview of The City - We couldn’t find any signs for the Santa Monica stop. The information was vague at best for the stop. By dumb luck we saw the bus and were able to board. The tour was fairly topical of any city tour we have done in the past. Great general information on landmarks and celebrities. A great way to get an overview of the city. We only did the Yellow - Ocean Route. It was all the time we had for one day.

Best way to see LA - Highly recommend. I wasn’t for sure after reading a lot of negative reviews BUT i can tell we had zero issues. Earphones worked great. could hear lady just fine. buses were clean. drivers were professional, definitely worth the cost. We did the 1 day pass and got to see 2 routes: Red & Yellow. My daughter just moved to LA and she was pleased with how much we got to see. My husband and I are visiting from Texas we were extremely happy with the results.

Great tour and great for accessing most places around LA - We took this tour as a means to get to Santa Monica so we did the Red and Yellow routes in the same day. The tour itself was really informative and the buses ran smoothly (except for LA traffic!). The return journey from Santa Monica ended up taking well over 2 hours due to traffic congestion. The headphones were fine until the last bus (of 4) were the headphone box cover was loose so the headphone sound was dodgy. Well worth it though!

The best solution for a short stay - We didn't have much time to explore the city. Therefore, the bus has been the best solution. Uncomplicated, well regulated and punctual. Thank you very much for the support.

Great overview of LA area - LA area is so big we took all three routes to get it all in. Much to see! It was very convenient to have the routes overlap for merging them so you didn't have to get off of one to get on another one. I also appreciated how the Red route bus took us back to the Purple area at the end of the day. The recorded narration was good but I do wish all the bus drivers announced the stops as they happened and let you know it was time to get off if you wanted. Some of the drivers did that but not all of them. Overall, good value, good experience.

A bus broke down. Our bus was late. We ended up taking an UBER back - Audio was out of sequence multiple times. They used to have a person talk and that was amazing. Our bus was very late to leave. No idea why. All they would say is we are leaving soon. Got to stop 7 to transfer and was told the other bus was broken down and it would be another 45 minutes of waiting at the stop. We took an uber home instead

Not worth the money - Disappointed with the tour, we have used the hop on hop off buses in other cities and they were great, this one was so so. Drivers were not very friendly and the buses were old.

Headout Sightseeing Bus A DISASTER - This service is absolutely terrible and non-existent. We waited over an hour at the specific Santa Monica stop which should have seen two separate buses which never turned up. Instead, we got to waste our morning trying to get support from Headout. Their AI chat bot did not work, did not escalate to a real person and went around in circles, their phone number was not available and the final insult was their email address which also does not work and has not been received so I still have not been able to get any sort of response from Headout. I tried every single avenue and was charged over $220 for absolutely no service or support. I should charge them for the precious limited time I’ve wasted waiting for my service and trying to contact Headout sightseeing bus. I would not recommend this service, instead we had to pay again for a real tour bus company’s service. If only Headout reached out to resolve the matter.

Terrible experience - I wished I booked another tour. The bus we boarded had audio issues. We were sitting upstairs alone and the bus stopped and we were just sitting there for 20 minutes wondering what’s going on. We finally decided to go downstairs and the driver was having his lunch and he seemed shocked that we were on the bus. How can you go on your lunch without telling us or checking to see if there was people still on the bus? The audio was eventually fixed but we were already annoyed with the experience.

I wouldn't do it again. - Not recommended, we had a 2day ticket. Already in the first morning, we started in the city center we would have had to wait an hour for the bus. Incidentally, the stops are not designated. This hour we wanted to save ourselves and took the Uber to Hollywood. There then climbed into the red line, got off twice to make sightseeings. Due to the short operating time it was not enough to take the purple tour to the city center. The second day we saved ourselves completely and drove ourselves to the points that interested us. The accompanying app, which shows the locations of the buses, is not much help either. The tour is actually only feasible if you stay on the bus and don't get off. Otherwise the times are just too short. Not the point of the matter for me. It's a shame, because they're also really calling money for it.
