About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- davidcW5880PK0 contributionsLoose the stress, let Vincent take care of the rest! Remove the stress of travel, relax and take in the view!We have had a great time! Vincent was truly wonderful with everything. We once thought about renting a vehicle and strike out on our own, however decided instead to take the private day tour! We avoided parking complications, navigation issues, and were able to relax and take everything in! Highly recommend Vincent, a true professional all the way. His vehicle was top notch. Doing a week day was optimal because it cut down on other types of tourists encountered. He took pictures of my wife and I together, to capture memories. We also found he was flexible with eating and shopping stops. David C, LMHC PhDWritten September 5, 2024
- S9717TXmichell0 contributionsGreat City Tour with Convenient Hotel Transfer and French-Speaking OptionVincent picked us up at our hotel on time. Since we did not have any special requests/locations we wanted to see, he took us on the usual route mentioned on the tour page which is great because it touches all the iconic spots around town from Downtown to the beach. The car was clean, communication was easy and he drove safely. We were moving from our hotel near Universal to another hotel near Disney and Vincent took us (with all our luggage) there at the end of our tour for an extra fee which felt fair compared to an Uber, especially for the convenience. Note: Service en Francais aussi disponible.Written September 1, 2024

- allisonsA7379HI0 contributionsAll of the fun, none of the hassle!This tour was awesome! Vincent was an amazing guide and showed us all of the hot spots in LA. We would never have been able to do this on our own. It was so nice to be with someone who could navigate around, tell us fun facts and who found parking in all the places we went. He took all of the hassle out of traveling in LA and left us only with memories and pictures of a fun day spent seeing the sites! We would definitely recommend this tour for your next trip to LA!Written August 15, 2024
- carolhZ7265HP0 contributionsGreat time!We booked a private full day tour that started in Hollywood at one hotel and then added a drop off in Disneyland. Vincent was absolutely wonderful and extremely knowledgeable! My husband, Mom, and young son thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with Vincent touring all the popular attractions of LA. He was very accommodating to our group and answered all 1,000 questions we had about the area. By the end of the day it felt as if we had hung out with a friend we hadn't seen in a long time. I would definitely recommend it as it was well worth the money!Written August 13, 2024
- 207harryf0 contributionsWe would highly recommend VincentWe had a brilliant day with Vincent. He had great communications with us before the day, turned up on time and the car was super clean and tidy. Vincent made the day flow really nicely and gave us lots of information, facts and conversation throughout the day. But also gave us our own space and time - just the right balance. He was also very flexible and accommodating allowing us to fine tune our day. We would highly recommend him.Written August 9, 2024
- C187KGrachelr0 contributionsLA coast adventure.Fabulous guide. Vincent was very knowledgeable and friendly. Very comfortable vehicle with hotel pick up & drop off. Tour tailored to our exact requirements. We visited the Malibu and Venice areas. Vincent shared lots of information with us about all of the areas we passed through. Highly recommend as a way of visiting the LA coastline.Written August 5, 2024
- judithaj010 contributionsGreat day in LA!Professional, personable , pleasant and very informative! Vincent provides a very relaxed tour providing lots of facts and history about the LA area. We truly enjoyed our day with him and would highly recommend booking a tour with this gentleman!Written July 25, 2024
- Matt B0 contributionsEasily the most enjoyable way to see the best bits of LA in a single day with local knowledge!!Can’t recommend highly enough! We were time crunched in our first trip to LA. Knowing the city is massive we wanted to make sure we got in all the best sights in the most efficient way possible with the least stress possible. Vincent met us at the hotel in a really nice comfortable luxury SUV and was an absolute legend through the whole day. Took us to all the best spots, some bits you’d never find without that local knowledge and that’s where the value here really comes from. All those little extra details you’d absolutely miss without a guide. Really nice guy, made everyone super comfortable and relaxed. We never felt rushed or pressured to move along. If you’re reading reviews wondering if it’s worth it, it absolutely is, just book it you’ll not regret it!Written June 29, 2024
- PramodKumarD90 contributionsAwesome - Great - Superb and Perfectly CraftedVincent is the best tour guide I have seen in recent years. My Los Angeles private day tour was really great and awesome. He has superb experience and knowledge of the city. By far the best tour I’ve had. It was like going with a family member he is very respectful and friendly. It was nice experience the way he explained was very informative and professional. The Farmers Market for lunch was excellent the variety was amazing. I strongly recommend his services to any age group and nationality. 5 stars are less he is 7 star deserving quality. I would definitely hire his services again in the future. Vincent rocks !!!Written June 22, 2024
- Trip8042470 contributionsGreat PRIVATE TOUR with VincentVincent was AMAZING.... He knows where to go to get the BEST PICTURES and views!! He was very patient and gave us plenty of time to look around and enjoy each stop we made. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this private tour over the overcrowded tours!!Written June 21, 2024
- SShelton20060 contributionsAmazing Tour!Vincent was a wonderful communicator and really listened to what we hoped to achieve during our tour. We had our 16 year old son and 11 year old daughter with us and he made sure to point out things they had mentioned being interested in along with our main to do’s. We were picked up in a lovely and spacious SUV that made traveling the area very comfortable. He planned the day based on various things like traffic, weather and such to ensure we were able to see everything and minimize interference for photo op’s and time it took to get from place to place. All of our “must sees” were completed along with a number of other items we didn’t even know we wanted to see but were so happy we did. I would absolutely recommend Vincent and utilize him again when we return to the area.Written June 18, 2024

We met Vincent at LAX and immediately he began to layout the very fun and educational day ahead based on what our group wanted to see. We felt we would be able to see all the sights we wanted to around Venice Beach, Beverly Hills and Hollywood with his expert guidance. Indeed, by the end of our half day tour, we had seen everything we desired and we had a great time doing it! Vincent answered our numerous questions and he was flexible to both our time needs and the needs of two members of our group with special needs. Vincent handled everything with ease and with a smile.

Vincent provided a bespoke half day tour taking us to Griffith Observatory, Beverley Hills, Venice Beach and Santa Monica in the comfort of his SUV. Great communication before the tour. He was very knowledgeable throughout the tour linking sights to famous movies filmed in Hollywood. He has a hospitable and personal manner with attention to detail. 5 star service.

It’s taken me way too long to write this but I wanted to wait until I had time to properly celebrate the magic that was a tour with Vincent. I was a bit busy with work so didn’t have a ton of time to plan in advance.
After reading reviews for various companies I decided on Victor and was thrilled he was available on such short notice. His team was very responsive and booking was a breeze. After spending almost 2 decades leading high-touch service experiences I’ve developed high expectations…lol…though I try to extend grace when hiccups happen. So the speed and quality of response matters a great deal.
We had the opportunity to customize our tour and because it was an MLK mother/daughter trip we wanted to experience some Black history. Victor quickly accommodated our request. He picked us up early and gave us the most thoughtfully designed tour. Victor took the time to research some of the places I’d requested and was able to provide us with lots of history and background on the places we were visiting. He went out of his way to find hassle free ways for us to experience the city and was able to make it interesting for the 2 young children with us.
I highly, highly recommend Vincent! Thanks for a wonderful day in LA.

We did a private, customized 5-hour tour of LA with Vincent and it was everything we hoped for and more!! With a picky 15 year old girl in tow and parents who had been to LA several times already, Vincent kept us all engaged the entire day. He was a wealth of information, friendly, and professional. He showed us things we had never seen as well as new views of the “must see” touristy stuff. We thoroughly enjoyed the day and felt like we saw everything on our list and then some. Highly recommend!!

We had a half day tour with Vincent which we really enjoyed. We had booked via La La Tours due to the good reviews and had opted for the Teen and Kids tour to make it relevant and interesting for our 16 and 11 year old daughters
We had outlined in advance what we had already seen in LA and what we wanted to do and Vincent created an itinerary to account for this.
He was a really friendly and knowledgeable guide and gave us some great info on the areas we visited.
We went to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a viewing spot for the Hollywood sign and then In-and-out burger for lunch before heading to Venice beach.
Only challenges were (1) LA is so big/busy that on a 5 hour tour we were probably driving for 2 - 2.5 hrs of the tour with only a few things to see / stories to fill the time whilst driving; (2) having asked for a teens and kids tour it could have been more focused on the girls rather than a general tour.
Having said that we really enjoyed it but depending on whether you want someone to drive you and give you a bit of extra insight into the areas - most of the things we did could be done as a self drive tour which would allow you to do them at your own pace.
Vincent was great though a really nice guy and a nice clean Mercedes SUV with waters etc to ensure you stayed hydrated in the California sunshine.

We spent a very pleasant day in Los Angeles with our tour guide, Vincent Jarno. He had planned a 5 hour tour of the city.
We found Vincent very knowledgeable about LA. He was able to give us a brief history of all the sights and locations we saw. Also able to park close to the areas of interest and to avoid the roads with very congested traffic. Knew the best places for coffee and lunch.
All in all an excellent day with a delightful companion.

Vincent was my family’s tour guide when we went to LA spring ‘22. He was so great that when I went back in July for a work trip, my coworker and I booked him for a half day tour just to try something different.
Because we had been to many of the tourist landmarks before, he took us to some places off the beaten path. We had an amazing time and enjoyed getting to know the city better. Again, he was knowledgeable about the various neighborhoods, which made the visit dynamic and interesting. A big bonus is how well versed in LA traffic and parking he was, which maximized our time.
Bosch tour next, Vincent?

Thank you Vincent for the most amazing tour! We were due to visit LA for less than 24 hours and with a delayed flight and long wait at passport control when we arrived we thought we’d never get to see LA but if it wasn’t for Vincent and his willingness to accommodate us our trip wouldn’t have been the same. Our tour started much later than intended but we still managed to get the full experience, Vincent showed us around all the key sites and we had the best day! He’s so knowledgeable, friendly and personable, he’s the perfect tour guide.
Our trip to LA would not have been the same without him! We can’t wait to come back x

Amazing tour of LA! My UCLA daughter and I had a wonderful, personalized tour of LA highlights that were of most interest to us. Vincent was very knowledgeable about everything in the area. He included plenty of time for us to take pictures whenever we wanted to stop. I would highly recommend Vincent for anyone visiting LA!
