Our tour guide was knowledgeable and funny and made the trek up go by quickly. Would 100% do again if in LA & would rate this a “must-do” if visiting alone or with friends.

James_D, May 2023

Our tour guide had great energy and enthusiasm - particularly impressive as it was his third trip that day! Great views and interesting history! I would recommend pre booking an Uber at the end of the trip as the departure point is relatively remote

Best way to see the Hollywood Sign

Christina_G, May 2023

First of all the instructions on where to meet for the hike were spot on. Our tour guide Matthew was the best! He was funny and entertaining and taught us a lot on the way and took great photos for us. My mom struggled a bit on the way up but he made sure we had plenty of breaks and provided snacks and water. Would definitely recommend!
