Overview

Why do we call it "The Perfect LA Tour"? While other companies make you book two separate tours see the best sights in LA, or have you trapped on a bus for 8 hours, we offer a tour that takes you to the top spots, lets you explore with plenty of time, and get you back to the beach in time to enjoy the rest of your evening. This is a fully narrated tour of Los Angeles aboard clean, comfortable, convertible buses with 4 fun stops along the way. In between stops you'll learn about the history of Los Angeles, see movie studios, historic filming locations, the Sunset Strip, music venues, crime scenes, popular restaurants, hotels, celebrity homes & more. All of the traditional Los Angeles sightseeing covered in a day.

Perfect day tour of all the iconic spots

Published on Jan, 2025

Geo was a knowledgable and humourous guide and kept us all entertained. We were only in LA for a short time and this was the perfect way to see everything we wanted to without the hassle of driving. Depature is a 5 minute walk from Santa Monica Pier.

5 1/2 hour LA tour

Super fun, highly recommend

Published on Jan, 2025

Super fun to her, plenty of time to explore at the destinations, Kelly keeps it light and fun. It’s clear she knows all the ins and outs around the area and can show you some really fun things. Overall, it worked out really well as we were staying in Santa Monica and departing from there into town was so much easier than getting into Hollywood to climb on a bus.
