I tried the studio tour before but this classics one was amazing. Gave us lanyard IDs for the trip. This was at the reception after going into the main entrance. I suggest coming at least 15 to 20 minutes to go have time to see the first area with photos and videos around a larger room from old films to their cartoons and newer ones. Gave us some time in a nice lounge surrounded by oldies photos and free pastries, chips, nuts and drinks. Then the trip was educational with a trip to the rose garden area and even the Props store which the normal tour would not have. Then they dropped us off at the last area with the DC, Harry Potter, Big Bang, and Friends etc. stuff were so if you are an old film (and new shows) fan, 100% suggest to take this one. Went to this one since it was my mom's 1st time. Another passenger had a wheelchair and mom is hard of walking a bit but they accommodated everyone very well. The weather was nice, 3pm tour finished 7pm with some shopping at the end. Awesome!

It was the nicest way I've went around LA. First time with mom, it was informative and we were lucky with good weather. There was a staff member by the transfer area to guide the passengers who wanted to see the beach. We went for the round and didn't hopped off since my mom couldn't walk as much, but still great. We started at noon and finished the red and blue line around 4 to 5 pm without stopping except the transfer to the blue line and getting on until we reached the 1st stop at the big bus tour point. We went around the shops and souvenirs there then. It was a great way to start the trip to LA. 10 over 10 recommend. Download the app. Hop off if ever and still see the timeline of the busses. Crew were nice and would offer it to others to try too. Cheaper than getting a private vehicle and with easy to personalize the itinerary. Might try to go to the museums next time and Paramount studios tour. Seen farmers market and the grove before. Must see and eat there again! Try 48 hrs bus

It was a fantastic experience, and the tour guides provided thorough and engaging explanations. Being able to actually visit the set locations was a rare treat. As a huge FRIENDS fan, I took tons of pictures and had a blast. Highly recommended for any fan of American TV shows to visit.

I recently took the half-day 'Best of LA' sightseeing tour, and it was fantastic! Our guide, Shawn, was knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable. He shared fascinating insights into celebrity hotspots, from luxurious homes to eateries and shops, as we explored Beverly Hills and Hollywood. The tour struck a great balance between iconic landmarks like the Santa Monica Pier, Farmers Market, and Griffith Observatory, with plenty of time to soak in the atmosphere at each stop. As a solo traveler, I appreciated the warm welcome and flexibility of the tour. Shawn's expertise and enthusiasm made the tour truly unforgettable. Highly recommend!
