Hollywood Paparazzi style tour

Published on Jan, 2025

The amount of information shared and learned to make outdoor tour activity was interesting We felt like paparazzi photos being taken by our guide.. Best guide!

Tour guide makes the tour even better!

Published on Nov, 2024

Chris was so excited to share information on the tour. That makes the difference when the tour guide is engaged and NOT just going thru the motions. Eager to show and guide you thru the tour.

Great tour with a great guide!

Published on Oct, 2024

I don't usually book tours, but limited time in LA meant I deferred to an expert to make the most of our visit. And I'm so glad I did!! Chris was an excellent guide, full of great stories and backed by facts. He was personable and pivoted seamlessly when we asked him random questions along the route. His love for the city is apparent and he'll make you see LA in a different light. This tour through Museum Row is really like an active stroll with a super-knowledgeable friend. Thank you, Chris!

Super Knowledgeable

Published on Oct, 2024

If there is a museum tour your need to take, its this one! My tour guide, Chris, is THE GUY! I promise you! He has been doing tour for years and even teaches other people how to be a tour guide. Chris was excellent. I don't know how we did four museums in one day but we did, and Chris was so knowledgeable about each one. He even told me facts that I had never heard on any of the other tours that I had been on. He also showed me a section of the Berlin wall that I had no idea was in LA. This tour felt very exclusive and I left there with tons of knowledge that I could not have gotten anywhere else. Please please take this tour. You won't regret it!

This Tour Has Everything!

Published on Aug, 2024

This was a perfect tour! We got to see exhibits from 4 of the major museums in Los Angeles, have great opportunities for photoshoots, and learn so much about LA history. Our tour guide Chris had an encyclopedic knowledge about everything from the Ice Age to movie history. This tour is definitely the best way to see Museum Row. It has something for everyone in your family or group since it covers cars, science, art, and Hollywood. It included entry into the Academy Museum which was pretty sweet!
