        Out dated
        The staff on our tour was very kind and I did feel like they cared about our safety and us enjoying ourselves. Unfortunately I do feel as if the tour was very out dated. For example all of the pictures are in black and white and just printed on paper. I think at this time period the tour should at least have colored images or a tv showing the actors. Another examples is that referenced a lot of actors from the 60s and a lot of people in the audience did not know who the guides were referring too. This time period we have so many famous people and influencers that I thought it was wrong to focus on people that are irrelevant. Also, it was extremely hard to see houses. I know the StarLine company is not in control of the trees and hedges that the owners place on the property, but it would be good for someone who is in charge of the routes to take that into consideration. I felt as if the majority of the trip I spent looking at trees, bushes, and gates. All in all I did not think that the money for this tour was worth it. Unfortunately I would not be recommending it to anyone in the future.

        Great Tour of LA!
        I really enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide Ross was really knowledgeable. He’s a very safe driver, and completed the tour in a very reasonable time. I don’t think I would have enjoyed my quick 2-day trip to Los Angeles if I didn’t do this tour. The weather was cooperative, the views from the Observatory were amazing, the food was good, the roller coaster was fun, and I absorbed all the city info that I could from our tour guide. My only slight complaint for improvement would be that I needed more time at the Farmers Market, only because I spent most of my time at The Grove, so I didn’t get to try out some of the food. And I needed a little more time at the Santa Monica Pier because I spent too much time at the amusement park. But overall, I cannot complain very much. It was worth the price of admission. I had a lot of fun.

        Needs improvement
        Hard to tell when The stops are as the driver says nothing and if the recording is running ahead or behind, you, don’t know you’re at the stop. People were missing them. The return was not marked anywhere on the curb by signage to pick us up in downtown LA. We knew approximately so it worked out, but a lot of people might’ve struggled Driver never says one word. Commentary was too old needs to be more updated with newer musicians and actor and actresses. Also, the crypto stadium was still being called the Staples stadium. Younger people wouldn’t even know who those actors were that you’re talking about. This was poor compared to others

        Best way to see LA
        Highly recommend. I wasn’t for sure after reading a lot of negative reviews BUT i can tell we had zero issues. Earphones worked great. could hear lady just fine. buses were clean. drivers were professional, definitely worth the cost. We did the 1 day pass and got to see 2 routes: Red & Yellow. My daughter just moved to LA and she was pleased with how much we got to see. My husband and I are visiting from Texas we were extremely happy with the results.

        Craig the magnificent driver!
        I want to recognise Craig our driver who gave us a wonderful two hours. He was very knowledgeable, witty and a kind man. The tour takes you up Mulholland and Craig pointed out all the houses with famous owners. It is true that you cannot see the houses themselves due to fencing and trees, but still it is exciting. The trip then went through BH and Rodeo Drive. I also got to see PUMP and Tom Tom from Vanderpump Rules. It was a nice trip, made all the more special by Craig and his great personality and knowledge of the route.

        Starline Tours is Great
        Craig was very informative and entertaining on this Starline Tours of Hollywood Nights and Griffith Observatory. He pointed out many important facts about Hollywood and then allowed the group to tour at our on pace at the Observatory. The tour was scenic and beautiful. This was our second tour with Starline Tours and he made us laugh. I recommend his tour.

        Definitely a must-do!!!
        Awesome tour, we liked the Celebrities home tour so much we immediately did the night tour the same day. It did not disappoint!!! As with the earlier tour with Darin our nighttime tour guide Craig was equally knowledgeable and entertaining. The view of LA from the Griffith at night is phenomenal. The history of Hollywood and other background was incredibly interesting. Thanks Starline!

        Don't NOT take this StarLine tour!
        You won't regret this tour. It provides historical information of many places you might, but unlikely won't (unless you've done your own extensive research), drive by. The tour covered places spanning over 100 years of movies, TV, and music culture. Sure, you can tour on your own but it's so, SO, much better with a guide. Daren was a terrific guide and provided both insight and wit as we passed by otherwise innocuous locations. If you've invested time and money to visit LA, do it right and take this tour! Also a shout out to the admin staff who were so helpful!

        Lee is the best driver/guide!!
        We had friends visiting from out of state that wanted to do this type of tour, so we chose this one a few days in advance. Lee was our driver, and not only was he funny and super kind, he was also very charismatic. You can tell he loves what he does and has been doing it for a long time. If more friends or family visit from out of the area and want to do this type of tour, I hope that we can get Lee as our driver/guide again. He was fantastic, 10/10, would definitely recommend.

        Entertaining and fun and funny 😁
        I can't remember my tour guide name but he was African American older gentleman that gave thee best historic, funny, and entertaining tour ever! He was so funny and kind, and answered our questions well and knew quite a bit of interesting information about everything!!! Give him a raise for knowing a lot of the Hollywood history.

        No codes for walking tour
        We registered for the self-guided walking tour of Hollywood. The codes in the email didn’t work. We had to hunt them down and find their offices- their own tech people couldn’t provide codes that worked. They refunded us but we were frustrated by the time we lost trying to sort it out.

      We took a group of individuals with disabilities to California. I worked with Gwen to plan our week and Gwen was kind and wonderful to work with. Albert was our driver and Albert was amazing! He was funny, kind, knowledgeable about the area, included our group in conversations, and was great and showing us the area. He knew where to take us and kept us laughing. We give five stars to Star Line Tours! Wonderful experience and great people! Albert and Gwen, you rock!

      What a fantastic tour. My sister in laws parents were visiting from Indiana and her uncle from Serbia. I did a lot of checking and emailed Starline. Gwen got back with me and helped do an Intenary for 5.
      We took the Amtrak from San Juan Capistrano to Union station.
      Starline even picked us up at Union Station. We spent 6 hrs with Ross. He was a great guide. Through Hollywood, Rodeo Drive. All the tourist things my family wanted to do. Lunch at Farmers Market. Etc.
      We went to the walk of fame by the Chinese theater. Starlines office is right there.
      We met Alex who is a boss for Starline. Nicest guy.
      They even took us back to Union station to catch the train home.
      If you don’t have to drive to LA/Hollywood, don’t do it. Haha.
      What we really appreciated was the customer service. Gwen followed up us until the day we arrived. Confirming if changes had to be made etc.
      My family wants to come back and do the beach tour with Starline. Again taking the train.
      I highly recommend this company. Especially if going with family, do the private tour. You conform your trip to exactly what you want to see.
      Thank you Gwen, Ross and Alex. The entire Starline group. You made the day and their trip the highlight. Until next time
