Amazing tour! - I had an amazing time going on this tour! Being my first time in California, Julie did a great job in taking us to many different places in a short amount of time. We were able to visit Santa Monica, Beverley Hills, Hollywood, and Malibu all while learning about the history and interesting stories of each place. I would highly recommend this tour as it made my first experience in California really great!
