What To Expect

Enjoy morning pickup at your hotel in Long Beach, then board a comfortable Mercedes Benz tour coach to ride north to Los Angeles. During the journey, view the twin ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, one of the largest ports in the country.

In downtown LA, stop first at the Los Angeles Coliseum, where many of the city's biggest concerts and sporting events take place. Then head for the Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall, the distinctive building where the Los Angeles Philharmonic plays.

Stop at the shortest railway in the world, Angels Flight, a funicular that goes up Bunker Hill. On Olvera Street, get a feel for the oldest area of downtown LA, where many blockbuster films have been shot.

Head for the Hollywood Sign, perched high above the city on Mt Lee. Hang out there to snap photos and enjoy the views, then head down the hill into the neighborhood itself. Spend time exploring the Dolby Theater, the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the TCL Chinese Theater.

Eat lunch (own expense) at Mel's Diner on the Sunset Strip, then peruse the luxury shops on Rodeo Drive. Contrast that with the relaxed vibe in Santa Monica and Venice Beach.

After a full day of exploring the City of Angels, enjoy a lift back to your hotel in Long Beach.

Fun day exploring LA and surrounding area

Tianna_S, May 2023

We had a great time on our tour. We were picked up at our hotel and saw a ton of places. The observatory was closed due to filming but our guide showed us a good place to still get a picture of the Hollywood sign. Although it was foggy we still saw it which was pretty cool. Also loved the walk of fame, Santa Monica pier, and Mel’s. Had an hour at each of them which was nice. We drove by too many sites to name. It’s impossible to stop at all which people were asking to but that would make it a 15 hour tour. There were plenty of restroom breaks. A highlight for me was driving down Rodeo Dr. It would be nice to implement a stop there where we could be dropped off and picked back up as I know parking would be an issue. Not sure what could be cut to do it or maybe make it a 9 hour tour and charge a bit more? Just a personal preference but regardless had an amazing time. Made a lot of memories, and would highly recommend.

Thanks for taking the time to give us a review. You touched on one of our most difficult issues...chosing which of the endless number of attractions to include. Sorry you got to experience our famous May Gray (which is followed every year by June Gloom) the morning for or overcast sky. We hope to have an opportunity to serve you again in the not too distant future.

Enjoying the points of stops. But the ride bys were rush. Enjoyed seeing the Hollywood sign and the stars

Response from Host, May 2023

Thank you for submitting your review. Los Angeles is a big place with lots of attractions. We stop at many of them providing time to explore and take pictures. We point out others along the and, when traffic allows, provide short photo opportunities from the bus. We encourage our guests to let us know if/when they want to take pictures when we come to those locations. Unfortunately, time is limited when we have so much to cover during the the over 100 miles of the tour. Thank you again for submitting your review.

Don’t hesitate to book this tour. It was great!

Robert_G, Apr 2023

It was too long and the tour guide was too talkative. He tried to be funny and was not. He kept talking about seeing movie stars with little to no history about where we were and what we were seeing.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thanks for posting your review. It is unusual for us to hear that a guide was too talkative and that his attempts at humor did not amuse you. In the rare occasion that it comes up it is usually because the guide was doing all he could to find out what interests guests have but are not sharing. We pride ourselves on having experienced and knowledgeable guides. Although we always like to have input from our guests, that input is most valuable when it is expressed to the guide during the tour.

Great day LA area

Rita_V, Apr 2023

Fantastic day with an entertaining and knowledgeable driver. Saw so much!! Loved the stops. Plenty of time to see the sights, eat, and shop. Loved the observatory and Hollywood. Would definitely do this tour again.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you for your most welcome comments. Los Angeles county is a big place and selecting attractions for a tour is a daunting task. We appreciate knowing that you enjoyed your time with us. Your guide has expressed his appreciation for what you have said about him.

See it All!

Ruthanne_E, Mar 2023

I recommend this tour for anyone visiting LA for the 1st time. GIO, our driver was terrific! Not only was his driving superb, he was a wealth of information and told many funny stories. Loved his personality! We got to see so so much from Beverly Hills, Griffith Park, Sunset Blvd, Rodeo drive even a great lunch at Mel's Diner. Plus Venice Beach/ Muscle beach , the Hollywood walk of fame, and much much more. Do no miss this one!

Response from Host, Apr 2023

How can we ask for more than you have said about your experience with Sunseeker and your guide Gio. (I have shared your review with him) We sincerely appreciate all you have said and hope to have an opportunity to serve you again in the not too distant future.

Tour Hollywood with a comic tour guide

vicki_a, Mar 2023

Gio was quite entertaining and was well informed on the areas history. His sense of humor was most enjoyable. Mel's diner proved to be all Gio implied. The pesto melt was beyond delicious and the $5 mimosas celebrating Mel's 75 years was a treat. Tour worth every dollar!

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you for sharing your review of your recent tour with us. I have shared it with Gio. This is the first time he has been called a "comic tour guide", and he thanks you for laughing at his jokes. We pride ourselves on having produced a tour worthy of our guests and the attractions that Los Angeles has to offer. We are glad you enjoyed it.

Skip the drive & enjoy the view.

Pamela_C, Mar 2023

I appreciated the pick-up at my non-hotel location. Our driver didn’t identify himself, but was polite, tried to engage passengers & acomódate requests. He was a good driver & looked up info he didn’t know. It was great to get an overall view without driving myself. Loaded fries & milkshake at Mel’s were great, as was the service. I enjoyed the time along the walk of Fame. Our driver did repeat info 3-4 times. Silence sometimes would have been better. He also told us so many times to look for someone famous in passing cars that I felt like it was a test I was failing (& I didn’t really care about that anyway).

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Thank you for submitting your review. I am glad that we were able to accommodate your need to be picked up at a unique location. From what you have said, it appears that perhaps other guests were less attentive and repetition was needed. Your indication that our guide "tried to engage passengers" appears to address your comment. Seeing celebrities along the way is common and is often a hi-light when it occurs. As it is a "Hollywood tour", our presumption is that our guests do care about celebrity sightings which, incidentally, are common on our tours. We do agree that the loaded fries and milkshakes at Mel's are delicious. Mel's authentic 1950's vibe often appreciated in guest review. Thanks again for joining us and sharing your input.

Awesome

Jeffery_S, Mar 2023

Must do tour if you are not familiar with Los Angeles. Tour guide was awesome. Very informative and knowledgeable.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Thanks for submitting your review of your time with us. Los Angeles is a big place and we pride ourselves on having assembled a good sampling of attractions it has to offer. I have shared your comments with your guide who asked me to thank you for what you have said about him specifically. Being referred to as "awesome" has made his day. Thanks again.

Fun day

Susan_R, Feb 2023

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.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Thank you for submitting your review. I appreciate your mentioning our service of picking-up guests at their local hotel or cruise ship. It has proven to be very popular. I have shared your comments with your guide. I am glad he was able to locate you after finding what you had left on the bus. We hope to have an opportunity to serve you again.

Maine Tourists, thank you!

Shauna_G, Jan 2023

John was amazing!! This was a great way to see so many areas without worrying about parking, traffic or missing out on something. His stories and quips made the whole experience memorable. How he remembers all those things baffles me, we would ride along with him anytime.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Thank you for sharing your review of your recent tour with us. I have shared your kind words with your guide, John, and he asked me to thank you for what you said...especially the "amazing" part. I hope that does not go to his head! Thanks again.

Great tour

Excellent tour guide Gabriel very informative and as helpful as it gets well done to him. A full day of activities

First time to LA area

Kelly_C, Nov 2022

We had a good time. Our guide Gabriel was good and informative. The van was comfortable, and clean. Could see great out of the big front window as well as the side windows. So much to see. Would like more shopping and sightseeing time on Hollywood Blvd, but we would have missed out on something else to do that. Mel’s Dinner was good, a little expensive for lunch. Some in our group saw Neil Sedaka in the outside eating area. We would recommend to do this tour to see a little bit of everything.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Thanks for submitting your review. We appreciate what you have said about the bus. We are proud of the comfort that they provide. I agree with your comments about shopping and sightseeing. LA is a big place. We have assembled what we feel is a good selection of attractions to present in the time available. Glad to hear about the celebrity sighting at Mel's.

Okay

Thomas_M, Oct 2022

It was fine / okay. The Hollywood sign is pretty far away. The Walk of Fame was pretty cool. Mel’s Diner was good.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Thanks for submitting your comments. Being "fine/okay" is not exactly what we had hoped for though. I wish you had provided input concerning the dozen or so other attractions we showed you. Glad you liked the Walk of Fame and food at Mel's. I agree, the sign is pretty far away. It has been in that locations for about 100 years.

LA tour

Kuligowskidiane, Oct 2022

Touring all over LA and seeing all the famous sites. Then going to Santa Monica and Venice beach. The driver had so much information it was great. Mel’s drive in was also great. Even though it was an 8 hour tour, the tour guide stopped off in several places.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Thanks for sharing your input concerning your recent tour with us. LA is a big place and even in 8 hours it is a challenge to provide a snap-shot of some of the most popular attractions. We love Mel's too. Although they are famous for their milkshakes and hamburgers, we have found that their extensive menu seems to have something delicious for most everyone's liking. Thanks again for your review.

Los Angeles Tour

Cynthia_W, Oct 2022

This was to tight!! I couldn’t even move in my seat. I wore a mask the entire time!! Saw no real sights. Tour guide was nice but he complained about the cost of parking and all the expensive cars. BORING!

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Your short review was interesting and a bit confusing. Our seats just standard, right out of the factory seats. Yours is the first I have read concerning them being too "tight". With respect to your having worn your mask the entire time. Masking is currently a CDC recommendation and guest option. Your having elected to wear yours was your option. With regard to your not having seen any "real sights", perhaps some more detail would help me understand what "real" is to you. My records indicate your itinerary included: LA Memorial Coliseum, Olvera Street, Disney Concert Hall, Staples Center (Crypto.com center), Music Center, City Hall, LA Cathedral, Griffith Park, Griffith Observatory, Hollywood sign, Grauman's Chinese and Dolby Theatres, Walk of Fame, Mel's Drive-in, Beverly Wilshire (Pretty Woman) Hotel, Rodeo Drive, Fox Studios, Santa Monica Pier, Venice Beach.... Sorry it was boring to you. Thanks for letting us know though.

Full day. Great high lights of LA and Hollywood.

Kristi_W, Oct 2022

Guide was personable. Van was packed full. Full day and saw a ton. Good stops at Walk of Fame and Venice Beach.
