          10 out of 10 experience
          My family and I have the best experience with our customs LA private tour. I also want to commend our private tourguide/driver Brian Cudina— he was very knowledgeable and accommodating. 10 out of 10 experience for me and my family, from coordinating with the team on attractions we want to see to the actual tour itself.

          Great LA Culture tour with Matt.
          Matt was amazing. Had a lot of fun stories and information. Saw the life of LA Downtown together with the history. Glad we chose it and Matt was our guide.

          Wealth of knowledge
          Gregory has a wealth of knowledge that he freely shares. He is very studied in LA history and all of the sights. He also leads other tours that contribute to his complete understanding.

          Underwhelming Experience – Lacked the Spooky Vibes
          We attended the Haunted Hollywood Walking Tour as a family of four (two teens and their parents) and found the experience underwhelming. While others might enjoy it, it just didn’t work for us. After the first 20 minutes, we found ourselves losing interest, and the rest of the tour didn’t manage to capture our attention either. The event lacked the kind of professional storytelling that could have made the experience more engaging and immersive. We were hoping for eerie vibes and captivating tales, but the atmosphere felt flat, and the stories didn’t evoke any real sense of mystery or excitement. Overall, while it might appeal to some, it didn’t meet our expectations and left us feeling disappointed. If you’re considering it, keep in mind that your experience might vary.

          The whole experience was great. The stories and the pictures made the entire experience come to life. We had a great tour guide who tailored the experience to what we liked.

          Walk in downtown without FEAR!
          Paul is an excellent tour guide! He has in-depth knowledge about the downtown LA, and shared with us the history and its development. I would strongly recommend people to take the walking guided tour with Paul! As I was travelling by myself, the smell of marijuanas and some random homeless on street may feel like danger to me. One homeless lady approached us but Paul just helped us away from her! And if you are fan of US drama or celebrity , you should definitely talk to Paul! He would be happy to share his career story in the entertainment industry!

          History, Sights, & Food... A Fun Afternoon!
          This tour ended up being a "private" tour because our little family was the only ones booked... Enjoyed spending the afternoon with Paul learning all about DTLA. Would recommend to anyone!

          It was a very informative tour! Jeff was knowledgeable and friendly. We learned so much that we wouldn’t have been able to learn from a self-tour.

          Tour leader is absolutely knowledgeable. I suggest that participants have earphone each to hear better & tour leader have flag so he can be located easily among many visitors.

          Do not miss this walking tour
          Matt was a phenomenal, knowledgeable, warm and interesting guide. I learned so much I would have never known otherwise and there was so much more to the tour than just architecture. Highly, highly recommend for a brilliant way to delve into the history and spaces of downtown LA

          Hiking + Storytelling in Griffith Park
          Paul was a great tour guide and told my husband and I many stories about Griffith Park and Hollywood as we were hiking up a path towards the Griffith Park Observatory. At the outset, we heard all about Griffith Griffith, his horrible temper and the violent accusations he made towards his young wife. Later in his life, he became a benefactor to Los Angeles when he left his immense 30+ acre property to the city upon his death, with plans to build an observatory and planetarium for the people. Paul made the history of the area come to life. He was an amazing storyteller! The only reason I didn’t rate this tour a 5 was because one member of our little group decided after some distance that she could not continue. This necessitated a pause in the pacing of our hike, so she could return to our starting place and take a tram to the Planetarium rather than walk. But Paul made the best of it and we resumed our hike to see a home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, a quaint Witch House, a murder house, views of celebrity homes. Being an actor as well as a tour guide, made Paul’s stories all the more interesting. This hike was definitely one of the highlights of our week in Los Angeles and I would recommend it to others.

        Sam was an excellent guide and everyone really enjoyed the trip. His driving was first class and knowledge of really interesting facts and locations was brilliant. We never felt rushed or hurried and saw everything we wanted. It genuinely made the trip to LA for us and I would thoroughly recommend this fantastic tour to anyone who wants to see all there is to see in LA

        We traveled with our 16 yr. Grandson. Having been to LA before, we knew it was a large, difficult city to navigate for a tourist on their own.

        No one could have been provided a better introduction to the city than Gregory! His gregarious personality kept all of us entertained as he skillfully navigated all the sights and explained some of the folklore of LA. He was extremely flexible in adapting the itinerary to our requests and took wonderful pictures. This is a tour we won't forget!

        Wow, what a fun day! We have been with cameron on other tours and again he did not disappoint. This trip we wanted all the highlights with a sprinkle of local spots and cameron was the best guy for the job. He really makes you feel like a friend showing you his city with so many personal antidotes that only someone like Cam could give you. Make sure and request him and you won’t be sorry! We Love you Cam!

        Our private tour of LA with Cameron was excellent! He was super personable, knowledgeable, flexible and funny. He customized the tour based on what we were interested in and gave us info about the city that you can only get from a local. This was not a canned scripted tour. Be sure to book this tour to get the best tour of the city and ask for Cam!!

        I had an amazing experience exploring Los Angeles with Gregory as my tour guide. His knowledge of the city was impressive and he was able to show us all the must-see attractions as well as hidden gems that we never would have found on our own.

        Gregory was not only informative but also personable and fun to be around. He made sure to cater the tour to our interests and was always willing to go above and beyond to ensure we had a great time.

        I highly recommend booking a tour with Gregory if you are visiting LA. He will make sure you have an unforgettable experience and leave you with memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you Gregory for an incredible tour!

        Chris, our tour guide, made the trip the best tour we have ever been on. We have taken bus tours, train tours, and boat tours all across America but Chris was an exceptional guide. His knowledge of LA was fantastic and the details and it's history brought us back in time to the LA and Hollywood we knew. He started the tour by asking what we wanted to see and made it happen. Twice he went above and beyond to accommodate us. Took us to away from the crowds to see the special sights.

        This tour was the perfect way for us to experience many of our “must see” LA and surrounding area sights/attractions in the (1) day we had available. Sam was the best tour guide we could have asked for - he was very knowledgeable, pleasant and great to be with for our 6-hour tour. He was a very safe driver in LA’s busy traffic and we truly enjoyed chatting with him throughout the day. We learned so many things from Sam and due to his efficiency and careful planning, we were able to see almost everything we had on our large list of sights, without rushing: Hollywood, Venice, Greystone Mansion, Santa Monica, the Farmer’s Market, Rodeo Drive, La Brea Tar Pits and much, much more! The sporty tour vehicle was very comfortable and clean. We highly recommend this tour and Sam — you will not be disappointed!

        We absolutely loved our private 6 hour tour of LA! Gregory, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable, accommodating, entertaining, and so easy to talk to. He was able to get us close to the Hollywood sign and voluntarily took pictures of our entire group for us. He showed us everything we asked for and then some. He knew different routes to take to avoid some traffic delays as well which is very valuable in this LA traffic. He offered recommendations of places to eat and sights to see during our time remaining in the city. Thanks to our time with Gregory and our private tour of LA, we can now say, "We love LA!". I could have truly spent the whole day touring and getting educated about the area from Gregory. I highly recommend this trip. Leave the driving in LA to the professionals!
