- Our Featured sort order ranks tours, activities, and experiences by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, your individual user browsing history and preferences while using Tripadvisor, the frequency of user clicks generally, and the volume and quality of customer reviews. Occasionally, newly listed offerings may be prioritized and appear higher in the list. The specific placement of these new listings may vary.
We perform checks on reviews.
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.

- Anya1809Scottish Highlands, UK24 contributionsThe whole experience was amazing, our tour guide was the best, he was very informative and so funny. Can,t remember his name but he said just to call him Steve if you couldn't remember his name!!! I would highly recommend this tour, definitely the best way to see the sights of LA.Written 10 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- G G2 contributionsThis tour is the best way to se LA in a day. Hits all of the best things to see. Tour guid was very knowledgeable. The tour bus was really nice. One negative observation about the tour is shameless display of “recommended” tips.Written 10 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tricia A1 contributionJeff is an exceptional tour guide in Hollywood, turning every moment into a captivating experience. His extensive knowledge of Hollywood and behind the scenes information was refreshingWritten 4 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kristin H3 contributionsThe tour guide Gabriel was awesome! He knew tons of information and kept the facts goi g throughout the day. He was comical and also chill. He was great. The tour was amazing and I do reccomend to a friend.Written 30 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- bill t1 contributionGreat tour. Lots to see and do. Alana was a fantastic tour guide. Food at Farmer’s Market was great. Open air bud was a perfect way to travelWritten 11 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Maria F1 contributionThis simply isn’t true. They did not state anywhere on the reservations that the Amtrak ride would be only 45 MINS from Oxnard to Santa Barbara. Everyone on the trip was confused and upset because we all thought that we would take the AMTRACK from LA. They did not explain that we would all be in an extremely small mini-van to drive an hour to the Oxnard Station, have to wait for over an hour to take the Amtrak, and then have to drive back in an overcrowded mini-van for a 2 hour and a half drive back from Santa Barbara.Written 15 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ElaineNewlyn, UK10 contributionsThe temple tour is an experience I would highly recommend. Von’s knowledge added a dimension to the temple visits which I found truly fascinating. I learnt a great deal and even got to share in some sacred ceremonies.
Thank you so much Von, from beginning to end, you made the day very special. I hope many others come and join you for this unforgettable tour.Written 20 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I recommend everyone to do this tour even if you live in LA. I believe the people who live in LA don't even know LA history. Alberto has been doing this for 30 years and his memory...Wow! If you're not sure what to eat at Mel's diner, ask Alberto, he won't steer you wrong.Written 14 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ditina D2 contributionsWe had an AMAZING private tour of LA with our AWESOME guide Monty! He was very knowledgeable and personable, provided cool facts about each of the sites and entertained us with relevant music throughout the ride. Hands down, this was honestly the BEST tour we have had! Thanks for a very fun day!!Written 3 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Harriet H1 contributionAwesome adventure! Great people to assist you. Worth doing again and again. I highly recommend this as one of the highlights of Catalina Island along with the Bison Tour and the beautiful helicopter view of the island.Written 21 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Christine EMahopac, NY96 contributionsThis tour was exactly what we were looking for. Rick was our tour guide and he was knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. Just enough time was allowed for each spot. We were able to really see and enjoy each destination. The van was clean and comfortable. By taking this tour I didn’t have to worry about navigating through LA traffic I could just sit back, relax and enjoy the sights. Highly recommend!Written 31 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Nicole GPort Macquarie, Australia43 contributionsDarnell was fantastic. We could not have wanted for anything more. It was the perfect way to spend a long layover in LA. In one day we saw almost all the things LA is known for but we never felt rushed. Lunch at The Grove was perfect.Written 6 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- IsadoraSalvador, BA1 contributionVincent is an amazing guide! As I was traveling for working reasons, I had just one day to enjoy LA and I couldn't have chosen someone better to take me in a day trip! We've visited the most famous attractions and the most special part was the sunset in Malibu! I thank Vincent for one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen in my life! Highly recommend and couldn't be more grateful for the experience!Written 26 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
