Our guide was extremely knowledgeable of the areas, streets and personalities. He gave us plenty of time to take photos. He had a great sense of humour; He made sure that we all saw what we had wanted to see. Top marks.

We did the five-hour tour with a knowledgeable driver. I would recommend it. Hopefully the weather cooperates because the bus we were on was open and it rained at the very last stop on the tour - not good!

Amazing! Got to see all of LA with the help of Sean and shay. Fab tour guides.

Our guide Paul was fantastic. Highly recommend this tour of Los Angeles!
