Brian was friendly and knowledgeable. This tour was the perfect amount of time to see a lot of LA. It gave a snapshot of areas I want to visit again to spend more time.

Brian was very nice and knowledgeable. The tour was just the right amount of time at each location. This tour is the best way to see a lot of LA without worrying about traffic and parking. I also learned a lot about the area. You won’t be disappointed!

Great trip with Bryan (guide) and Miguel (driver). You meet up at the farmer’s market in West Hollywood which has 35 or so fantastic food stalls and is attached to The Grove outdoor mall. The tour travels around in a very nice air conditioned bus as Bryan feeds facts, history, and trivia about LA. The first trip was to the Getty museum and was about 25 minutes with light traffic. There was a long line (20 minutes) to get on the tram up to the museum but the museum was worth it. We had about 1.5 hours to walk the grounds and see the art work (the grounds may be the most underrated part) which didn’t quite feel like enough time. In the North building is a lot of incredible European art from the 16,17, and 1800s to include a room of Impressionists like Manet, Monet, Cezanne, Pissarro, and (1) Van Gogh. We grabbed a sandwich from the cafeteria and then enjoyed the one hour bus ride to the observatory. The route took us through Beverly Hills, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and Los Feliz. Bryan had great stories and anecdotes to pass the time. Once we got to the Observatory we had about 1.25 hours to see the sites (which includes the best possible view of the Hollywood sign). I would go inside and check the schedule for the next Tesla coil demonstration and then make sure to return to see it about 5 minutes before it starts. On the roof you can see a massive telescope and in the basement are a lot of interactive displays about our solar system. I loved this 6 hour trip and because the bus ride between the two big events was through the heart of Hollywood I felt like we got much more than advertised. Bryan is great even if he’s originally from New Jersey.

The tour guide was entertaining, informative, and very helpful. I needed to use a Rollator walker which required special storage on the tour bus. Michael took charge of it without any fuss or bother. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

It was fun educational & comfortable tour with Gregory giving an awesome narration about LA & Hollywood history. The only problem we had was bus microphone not working intermittently. Also parking price of $56 which should have been informed upfront and I wish they advised to get a validation for $9 discount before leaving the parking.
