          Calico Ghost old west mining town located in a High Desert area of San Bernardino county that has been around since 1881 during the largest silver strike in California. With its 500 mines, Calico produced over $20 million in silver ore over a 12-year span. When silver lost its value in the mid 1890's Calico lost its population. The miners packed up, loaded their mules and moved away abandoning the town that once gave them a good living. It became a "ghost" town. Walter Knott purchased Calico in the 1950's architecturally restoring all but the 5 original building to look at as they did in the 1880's. Calico received State historical Landmark 782 and in 2005 was proclaimed by then Arnold Schwarzenegger to be California's Silver Rush Ghost Town. Numerous Western movies were filmed over the years at Calico Ghost Town: Cowboy Chinamen, Five Grand, The Hitcher, the Prowler, Ghost Ship and others. Guests will have about three hours to stroll a historical western town, visit old silver mine, ride in old rail car, do gold panning, and perhaps experience some paranormal activity in Mystery Shack. Have a wonderful lunch at one of the old Western Calico House Tavern (lunch is not included).

          Birthday Group Wine Tour!
          We started the day with a pick up from central Los Angeles. Yuriy was extremely accomodating, and even provided water for the car. With a group of 5, we headed to Temecula with Yuriy sharing his geogrpahic genius and jokes. The first location was paid for with the purchase of the trip. Yuriy was a great guide and photographer, as well as patient. We headed to the final location where we jad a beautiful wine flight and some amazing dinner as the sunset. Yuriy provided a great experience and we would all highly recommdnd him, and even do the tour again!

          Outstanding Experience
          Recently took a tour to the Ronald Reagan Library. Our tour guide and owner Yuri was outstanding. He was very informative and shared many facts and interesting stories. He was on time for our hotel pick up and was extremely pleasant. When we return to the LA we will most definitely use his services again. I highly recommend this tour company.

          Los Angeles in its best
          Great friendly informative tour of Los Angeles with Yuriy. We have seen and enjoyed beautiful views of most interesting sights in great Los Angeles city : West Hollywood, Santa Monica and Santa Barbara, Sunset Boulevard etc. Yuriy was very knowledgeable and fun to talk to about the city, its history, architecture and inhabitants. Russian traditional meal in Traktir restaurant reminds us our own history. Thank you Yuriy for lovely time in Los Angeles. The guide is highly recommended to anyone visiting the city and California.

          Best Guide and Tour of LA
          We had the best LA tour. We have done other tours so there were things that we did not care to see again and LA Travel Tours (American Riviera Tours) was able to customize our tour. We did everything we wanted and then some. Our tour guide Yuriy was fantastic. He was so informative and friendly. We had such a great time! I would recommend this tour company to anyone looking for a comprehensive tour of Hollywood and Los Angeles.

          Private LA Tour
          We would highly recommend Yuriy and the LA tour! We enjoyed a detailed 5 hour tour of numerous LA locations. Yuriy was very knowledgeable, entertaining and prepared with umbrellas! He ensured we had lots of group pictures. He even took us to a great Brazilian BBQ for a meal. We really appreciated the last minute accommodation and the pickup and drop off at LAX. Thank you for an enjoyable afternoon!

          Great LA tour!
          We booked a private day tour of Los Angeles after coming back from a cruise. Yuriy was a wonderful tour guide and very informative. We went to all the major sights such as the Hollywood sign, Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, the Walk of Fame and more. He allowed ample time to stop and take pictures. After our tour was complete, we were dropped off at LAX.

          Superb, customised, tour of LA
          While on a cruise ex San Pedro, my family and I decided to try book a half day sightseeing tour of LA. between our cruise-end and our flight departure later that day. I contacted a number of tour companies but American Riviera Private Tours really impressed with their willingness to accommodate our needs and with their flexibility & trust in sorting out tour payment. We were met promptly by the wonderful Yuriy at the port. Our bags were loaded and we set off on an action packed 5-hour tour of the sights. Yuriy was very knowledgeable and entertaining throughout. Nothing was too much trouble and he was willing to do whatever it took to make our tour enjoyable. I would highly recommend this company - great value for money, flexible and fun!

          Santa Barbara wine and scenery
          Outstanding trip, not just wine tasting but entire trip! We were picked up by our guide promptly and heading from north Hollywood to Vincent Winery. Journey was scenic and guide was extremely knowledgeable about the area. The winery was a real treat despite not being able to tour inside due to Covid restrictions. After the tasting, we headed to los Olivos fir lunch ( super cute village and delicious meal at Nella’s). Santa Barbara stop was also special, beautiful Spanish architecture! Great day!
