Fun day
Susan_R, Feb 2023
Shared 8 hours Los Angeles City Sightseeing Tour from Long Beach
It was fun to see all the places from some of the movies.
Great option if not driving around LA. Very convenient pick up at the hotel in Long Beach. Luckily there wasn’t a full bus and the weather was good on the day I went. Personally I would have liked to have spent time at Venice Beach but we only drove through. It was fun to see all the places from some of the movies. The driver was knowledgeable and very kind to drop off something I had left on the bus at my hotel after the tour.
Very Nice experience

I went there with my girlfriend for her birthday she loved it, she was able to experience something different and the fun part was able to see different types of sea creatures.

Shared 8 hours Los Angeles City Sightseeing Tour from Long Beach
It was a full day tour but we were thrilled to see so many highlights of LA, Hollywood, Venice Beach, Santa Monica, and everywhere in between.
We had a wonderful time on this tour! Our driver was SO personable and knowledgeable. While we drove from Long Beach into LA, he told us many delightful stories about the area. At lunch time, he took us to the original Mel's Diner where we had a yummy lunch including their famous malts and shakes. It was a full day tour but we were thrilled to see so many highlights of LA, Hollywood, Venice Beach, Santa Monica, and everywhere in between. Being in a small group cost more but it was definitely worth it.
