Got to see all the important sites of LA with a fantastic day's tour in a comfortable mini bus. Several stops of 1 hour to explore and enjoy the key areas of intrest. Our guide Gabriel was a mine of information and knew everything there was to know. Friendly and funny, he totally sealed the experience. Would highly recommend this trip and would definately do it again.

Great full day tour of LA......small van!
Joseph_S, May 2023
Excellent tour of 9 hours, taking in a huge tract of Los Angeles. Downtown, Griffith Park, Pasadena, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Venice and associated sites, like the walk of fame, Santa Monica Pier, Mel's Drive In for lunch.
Gabriel our driver was great.
Only criticism ....the van was WAY to small for 12 people and luggage and I ended up with bad cramp from being almost folded into tge rear seats!
Response from Host, May 2023
Thank you for submitting your review. We appreciate what you have said about the itinerary and driver/guide Gabriel. We apologize for any inconvenience regarding the luggage situation. Our vehicles do have 14 large seats, and we booked 12 on your tour. Luggage can always be a challenge. It is difficult to know how much luggage each guest will have. Unfortunately, it was considerably more than usual and anticipated with your group. We apologize for the discomfort that caused you. Thank you again for your kind words concerning the tour.
Great day in LA
Karen_S, May 2023
What a great way to finish off our holiday after our cruise. Picked up at the port and shown the sights of LA. Our guide was a local who informed us greatly. Finished off our day by being dropped off at LAX airport for our night flight home toAustralia. Bonus 👍
Response from Host, May 2023
Thank you for your review. Many of our guests come off cruise ships early in the morning with flights home late in the evening. Our full day tours are very popular ways to take advantage of the extra time in Los Angeles as a welcome extention of their vacations. As the phrase goes "two birds with one stone". We are glad were able to provide the service to you. Thank you for your kind words.
Worthwhile excursion, informative guide.
Melodie_H, Apr 2023
Liked the older residential part of L A with the individually designed houses and the foot and hand prints in front of the Chinese Theatre. Santa Monica Boulevard is lovely, also the beach area.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Thank you for sharing your review. We pride ourselves on having selected a broad range of attractions hoping to provide a bit of something of interest for all of our guests. Thank you for letting us know what you liked.
Not good enough for the $$$
paulchatwin, Mar 2023
Waited exactly where required, bus arrived 15 mins late and unable to contact them we not all visitors are from the USA with suitable mobile/wi-fi. No adequate provision for non US guests.
Tour guide kept repeating the same things over and over again. Too many references to US sporting events, players etc as only 1 out of 15 was American and the rest of us had no idea and little interest that a new player at 17 is rumoured to become a star.
A passenger asked a valid question and the driver ridiculed her for at least 5 minutes.
We visited some nice places but the small tour bus wasn't ideal. We thought it would be a full size coach.
OK but wouldn't recommend.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Thank you for sharing your input. With respect to the arrival delay, we are under the control of the port authority when picking up passengers at the terminal. If we have contact information for guests, we do call them to let them know when to expect our arrival. You have said a number of times that we did not provide adequate provision for foreign visitors. We serve foreign visitors frequently. Yours is the first comment we have received expressing your concern. What do you feel we could have done better? How? Our guides are among the most experienced and knowledge in the industry. In addition to pointing out attractions along the way, we also try to cater to the interests and needs of each guest. We try to encourage our guest to speak up and let us know if or when we are missing the mark. We would appreciate knowing more about your comment that our guide "ridiculed" a guest. That is alarming and never appropriate. With respect to you reference to the bus being small. That is one of our primary and most popular attributes and it is stressed in all of our promotional materials. Our fleet consists only of 14 passenger vehicles. We only incorporate large vehicles on a charter basis for large groups. Once again, we always want to hear from our guests. The good comments are nice to hear. The negative ones are important to know. Thank you for sharing with us.
Claim damaged carry on
Mei_S, Mar 2023
I claimed this damaged carry on cause by tour driver, but no reply yet! Please review these pictures we took right away from airport, thx
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Many thanks for submitting your review.
However, After discussing the matter with your driver and asking other passengers on board that day, we concluded that our driver had no fault in damaging, nor dropping your luggage.
Unfortunately, your luggage must of been damaged on board of the cruise ship, prior to our tour.
Regards
Brilliant

Driver was very knowledgeable and very funny,nothing was too much trouble and driver was very helpful with cases etc
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Thank you for your review and kind words about your driver. I have shared them with him and he has asked me to express his appreciation for what you have said. We hope to have an opportunity to serve you again in the not too distant future.
Brilliant last day before flying back to the UK!
James_C, Mar 2023
My wife and I were collected from San Pedro cruise terminal. Our guide was Gabriel. He was excellent … informative, and took us to all the scheduled itinerary. We had a great time visiting Hollywood, Beverly Hills etc.
The only point of improvement I would make is that the instructions told us to meet our guide ‘at the curb outside the terminal.’ Both ourselves and Gabriel found this difficult because 2 cruise ships were in and there were thousands of people lining the long curb! It would have been better if the the instruction had been more explicit … E.g to meet at the sign for gate 92. Having said that, Gabriel was brilliant and contacted us by phone, and we eventually found each other.
We would thoroughly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Thank you for submitting your review and for your suggestion regarding conditions at the cruise terminal. In spite of the fact that the terminal frequently handles multiple ships at the same time, the confusion never seems to be addressed by the people in charge. Each time it seems we are directed to a different location to pick-up our guests. Even your suggestion of "meet at the sign for gate 92" would be confusing because there are several of those signs. I am glad that we had your phone number and that Gabriel was able to contact you. We sincerely appreciate your recommendation and hope to have an opportunity to serve you again.
Excellent Tour

This tour definitely had potential. 3/5 stars.
Lorraine_S, Jan 2023
Gabriel was our driver. He was professional, knowledgeable and fun. If I was rating this tour simply on our driver I would give it a 5/5 stars. Unfortunately it rained ALL day and although Gabriel did his best the tour fell short of our expectations. We cannot blame your company for the rain but I was not able to visually see things that were being pointed out, we did not visit many of the sites mentioned in your literature and the restaurant (Mels) was a disappointment. It was run down, ceiling was leaking in several places in the restaurant, chairs had rips in the leather etc. We know Gabriel did his best and he apologized profusely. But we felt we paid a lot of money for a ride from the ship to our hotel that day!
Response from Host, Jan 2023
First, thank you for your kind references to Gabriel and his efforts. Of course, a tour of "sunny California" seen through the torrent of rain that fell on the day of your tour does put a damper (pun intended) on the day. I don't know what we could have done to improve visibility of venues through the downpour. I am curious as to which sites mentioned in our literature we did not show you even in the rain. We are surprised by your comments concerning Mel's. It is usually the one thing that most of our guests agree about. Good food, interesting history, and fun ambiance. Perhaps the rain, especially if it was leaking into the restaurant, spoiled that for you. I have shared your comments with their management. Thank you again for sharing your comments with us.
Excellent tour!
Kathryn_H, Jan 2023
Had a long wait before our airplane left after getting off our cruise. Found this tour. It exceeded our expectations! Saw so many things that we’ve only seen on TV. Ate at Mel’s diner. The tour guide was fantastic. He shared little bits of info about every place we went by. Then he dropped us off at LAX. I definitely recommend this tour!!
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Thanks for sharing your review. Our ability to entertain guests who disembark from cruise ships in the morning and have evening flights is very popular. We are glad you "found" us. I have shared your review with your guide also. Being referred to as "fantastic" made his day. We hope to have an opportunity to serve you again in the not too distant future;
