Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My daughter and I were on a theme park trip for her birthday and I booked this tour to see the city on a Sunday. The other guests had canceled, so it ended up being a very nice, private tour of the massive city and its sights. Thomas was an excellent and entertaining guide, with tons of stories and some songs LOL... We appreciated his knowledge and humour. It was nice to get off our feet and see the city and relax, plus feel safe doing it as we are very small-town Canadians:) Thanks so much for everything Thomas, we will definitely do another tour with you if we ever come back!!!! Take care:)

My parents and I really enjoyed our tour with Thomas & Cathy. Both welcoming and knowledgeable, they took us to see the highlights of Hollywood and Beverly Hills, gave us plenty of time to walk around certain areas and take photos and as it was just the 3 of us, even included a few other things for us - Greystone Mansion and La Brea tar pits amongst them. Thomas regaled us with interesting facts and history snippets about the areas we visited, as well as the Hollywood stars and sites from various movies. Lunch at the Farmers Market allowed us to choose from a variety of different cuisines to suit our different tastes, topped off with icecream. It was great to then see the contrasting less glamourous side of LA on the way home. Altogether a great tour.

Purchased this tour on Viator for the last day of our vacation. Received confirmation of the booking, meeting location and time, my credit card was charged several hundred dollars. I was double-checking the meeting location at 5:45 pm the night before and stumbled upon a vague, four-word message: trip canceled by Viator. I called the tour operator to find out what was going on and get more info. The man on the other end of the phone was unbelievably rude, repeatedly interrupted and talked over me, and snidely remarked, “that’s what you get when you book last minute”. Last minute? There was no indication on the tour info page that gave any advance timeline within which the trip had to be purchased or warning that the booking would not be honored if secured the day prior to departure, yet this person continually stated the cancellation was my fault. If an advance timeline is required, STATE THAT ON THE TOUR INFO PAGE. It is beyond me that this tour operator and Viator would advertise, book, and send CONFIRMATION OF BOOKING, let alone charge seven hundred dollars to my card and then out of the blue send a hidden message (stumbled upon only when I clicked on “chat with your operator”) that my booking was cancelled. I have no idea how Orange County Adventure Tours remains in business with this level of disrespect and piss poor customer service.

Enjoyed our own private tour very much! Thomas and Kathy were great guides pointing out landmarks and history and it was nice to be able to see the coast without a being in a big crowd. Lots of tips for future visits so this was a great intro to be able to get oriented a bit. Thanks to you both, was nice meeting you!

We had a fantastic day with Thomas and Cathey. This was such a more pleasant way to see lots of the area's beautiful coastline. The logistics alone would have made it a worthwhile excursion, but they know so many great spots, they pick you up at your hotel, they drop you off at the sites (where parking alone would be a nightmare), and they provide lots of fun trivia along the way. On our next trip to the area, we will definitely reach out to them to book one of their other tours, too.

We had a great time with Thomas and Cathey. They are both fun, high energy, and very knowledgeable about the areas we visited. We would highly recommend them to anyone visiting the area. Be sure to ask about the Milk and Cookies.

I would highly recommend the Orange County Coastal Sightseeing Tour. Our group of 3 enjoyed the tour. The guide took our pictures at the different spots. The guide picked us up at our hotel in Anaheim, and dropped us off at the end of the day. We saw the highlights of the beaches, and had plenty of time to explore at Huntington Beach. Wished we would have had a little more time at Laguna Beach, but overall had a good tour.

The tour was ok, Kathy was very pleasant. Not sure what I expected, but found the tour not very interesting, perhaps we picked the wrong locations for the trip. I think the cost was fair considering the amount of driving and Kathy's time.

I will be visiting Huntington Beach with my ten year old granddaughter. She would very much like to see the Hollywood sign, Rodeo drive and other sites. Do you happen to have a tour that includes these places?

Hello, I am very interested in the Day in Hollywood tour. My husband and I will be in Huntington Beach for a week in May. Is it still possible to partake in this tour even though there are only two of us. I read on the website miniumum 3 people. Thank you!

Hi sandandsunlover1. Yes you can book it for the day you desire and if I get more inquiring for that day I push tour # 4 to them. if they want tour#3 we can work it out. The Warner Brothers Studio tour is 3 hours so there is plenty of time after. It's best to get your day booked so then I can schedule it. I am getting booking for tour 4 in may already. Thank you for your inquiry. Thomas Domizi
