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

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!

What an amazing experience! The Full Day Grand Bus Tour in Los Angeles was everything I hoped for and more. Our host and driver, Elena, was the absolute best — funny, knowledgeable, and full of great energy the entire day. She kept us entertained with cool facts, stories, and tips while making sure everyone felt comfortable and included. We got to see all the highlights of LA in one day without feeling rushed, and Elena always knew the best spots for pictures. You can really tell she loves what she does, and that made the whole tour so much more special. If you’re in LA and want to see it all, book this tour — and fingers crossed you get Elena, because she truly made the day unforgettable!

Beau was absolutely amazing! He made the tour very interesting, he was very informative about plenty of things about the stories and movies and stars in general. He encouraged questions. I learnt so many things about stars, serial killers and and some tragic end to a few celebrities that I never knew about.

This half-day tour was perfect for filling time before the Dodgers game, and the carefully selected itinerary was great. In particular, the guide/driver's machine-gun-like, fast-paced talk made it a fun mini-trip, and the value for money was unbeatable!

Chellsee, thank you! For a while after the tour started, I was listening to the recorded Japanese guide, but Chellsee's non-stop talking while driving was more fun, so I took off my earphones. I was traveling alone, but I was able to enjoy myself without feeling awkward. Thank you!
