Fun day of sightseeing, must try! - Tour is great for seeing some popular LA attractions. Driver was engaging, fun and took really good care of us. Bus was very well air conditioned, clean and not dated. Would recommend it to others. Public parking is a couple hundred feet away from the starting point for $8 or $10 depending on availability.
