Muscle Beach on the Boardwalk drew fame when celebrities and bodybuilders like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno frequented the outdoor gym for their workouts. The skateboarders draw crowds with their fancy tricks and the roller skaters with their dancing on wheels.

No rigid schedule like other tours - I saw some Instagram videos of this company, and it looked like so much fun. So when we visited Los Angeles from DC, I chose their beach towns tour with my husband and my daughters. We drove all along the coast and saw like a dozen beach cities, all beautiful with so many cute shops and restaurants. We stopped several times for snacks and lunch and pictures. It was very flexible to my surprise. No rigid schedule. It felt like we designed the tour ourselves. I really recommend this tour. It's so unique and Dexter, our guide, was so nice and patient with us!

Great customer service - I was referred to several tour agencies and called a few. The only one who called me back soon and had great customer service was Tallawah. They talked me through the tour and suggested places to lunch. I was told I could choose which coastal towns I wanted to have our stops, so it seemed very flexible. We had a great time in Long Beach for lunch and the rest of the tour was very enjoyable. Highly recommend.

A Truly Unique Tour Of The Southern California Coast - I never really write reviews but I feel I should tell everyone how great this tour was! We were celebrating a couple of birthdays and visiting our family in Newport beach. There were 6 of us and we were comfortable in the SUV. Three can fit in the back and two in the captain's seats and 1 in the front. We drove straight down to Newport Beach and Dexter waited a few hours for us. We ate and drank and had a great time with family and headed back early afternoon. This is the part I really enjoyed because I had never driven along the coast and seen all the quaint towns along the way up to LA. We got to stop a few times and take pictures. We even drove through Balboa Island, which I had never visited in all my years in LA. We also drove through the neighborhoods to see the beautiful homes of Laguna Beach and Belmont Shores in Long Beach. Lastly, we walked a little bit along the canals of Naples. Next time we'll go down and rent a boat or canoe. It's such a unique tour, and I'm so thankful to Tallawah for a truly luxurious, safe, and comfortable journey.

5 stars from Toronto, Canada!!!🇨🇦 - What a fantastic experience! From the moment we were picked up, the service was top-notch. Our driver Dexter, was a true professional who was not only knowledgeable about the best sites to visit but also accommodating to our schedules. My family of 5, visiting from Toronto, Canada for the first time was looking to take in the sites of LA and opted for the California Beaches package. We were thrilled with the stunning views and photo opportunities along the coast. The SUV was spacious and luxurious, providing a comfortable ride as we explored iconic LA sites like Hollywood and Santa Monica. We loved the flexibility as we could choose where to go and how long to stay at each stop. Dexter made sure every detail was perfect, ensuring we had an unforgettable visit in LA. If you're visiting from Canada or anywhere else, this tour is a must for the full experience of LA. My family can't thank you enough for some great memories. Highly recommend!

VIP treatment - I never I felt so relaxed as a tourist in my own town. My family came to visit and I didn't feel like driving them around, so my friend recommended Tallawah for a tour down the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) to hit all the beach towns. I thought that was a great idea. Our first stop was Laguna Beach to grab some coffee at the Montage Hotel and stroll along their pathway. The view was spectacular! Then off to Newport Beach for a drive-through of the beautiful and pricey neighborhood of Corona Del Mar. We then took in the sights of Long Beach, Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach. Dexter was so accommodating and had many suggestions so we took up his suggestion to lunch in Manhattan Beach. And then we had the most delicious lavender ice cream! Back on the road and we hit Marina del Rey harbor and the Venice canals. My family was in awe! We opted not to walk the Venice boardwalk and go straight through Santa Monica and to Malibu. We were advised to make reservations if we wanted dinner at Moonshadows in Malibu but we had forgotten. So we walked the Malibu Pier for a quick drink and headed back. We were exhausted, but I have never seen so much of my own home as I had that day. The tour had a schedule but we were able to mold it exactly how we wanted it so it felt like a tailored, private, luxurious, VIP tour, and it was truly a one-of-a-kind experience!

Who needs TMZ Tour when you have Tallawah Limousine and Tours! - I truly hate tours. But my wife convinced me to try this one. I must say this was an amazing experience! The tour guide was great too. Made the experience even better.

Private, comfortable, and smooth ride with a very patient and safe driver. - My daughter took me with Tallawah tours to San Diego. I am usually anxious on long drives and on freeways, but I felt comfortable and safe the whole way. The SUV was so roomy and comfortable. It was such a smooth ride that I fell asleep. We saw many places in San Diego. We got to stop as may times as we wanted and as long as we wanted. We saw downtown San Diego, La Jolla Cove, the tide pools, Coronado Island, Del Mar, and so much more. It was a great trip and I would recommend the custom trip or the beaches / coastline trip to everyone.
