Fun and interesting tour - Really enjoyed the tour and I’ve lived in LA for 18 years now! The tour included a stop at Griffith Observatory which was great, as it can be a difficult place to navigate on your own. Especially on a weekend. We saw a lot of sights, tar pits, museums, film studios, famous theaters and restaurants, Rodeo Dr was super fun, really nice not to have to drive myself. Bus was comfortable and cool. Driver gave us headsets so we could easily hear the running commentary. Definitely worthwhile , fun and educational.

Great tour in a short amount of time - Great tour if you only have a few hours in LA! We were able to see all of the major sights/landmarks we were looking forward to seeing (Hollywood sign, Griffith Observatory). Rob was a great tour guide/driver, too!

Excellent Day - Took my two children with me on this tour today. An excellent experience all around thanks, in large part, to the enthusiasm and good cheer of Brian Donnelly, our guide for the day. Brian was cheerful and knowledgeable, he spoke to my kids like they were full on people deserving of the respect of an adult, and he clearly loves his job.

City Tour of LA - I am not sure if I have picked the right title, We did this tour on 2/2/20 with Tony(narrator) and Adolfo(driver) and it was about 4-5 hours in length. They were a good team as we were there during the Kobe Bryant public display of of sympathy. So, we had to use some alternate streets and they maneuvered around the closures. We saw a lot and wished we had more time for stopping at some sites. Tony was very well informed as he is native to LA and he presented the information in a nice manner. I would recommend asking for him for your tour.

Tour with Danko - Was a good and fun tour led by Danko. The tour was a perfect day outing for a first time visitor to LA covering most of the key landmarks. Danka kept it very interesting and gave some good restaurant tips that came handy later.
