We are with family and friends on a cruise along the West Coast of North America. None of us have been here before so I arranged a day trip from the Port into the sights of the Greater LA area .
Originally it was my wife and I and my brother and sister in law arrangements were made via email I living in the UK, my brother in Canada. At short notice friends who were also on the cruise asked if they could join the trip.
I had been in contact with Harry our driver and guide for the day so I emailed him and within minutes he confirmed their attendance at no additional cost.
The collection at the cruise port was seamless. Exactly on time as arranged. Excellent vehicle spotless inside and complimentary water during the day. LA is no village. We visited Venice Beach, then onto the beach and pier at Santa Monica. We had 45 mins at each of the locations.
We then headed towards Beverly Hills we’re we did a tour of the residential areas then went to Rodeo Drive and did a bit of people watching and window shopping, before being taken to Farmers Market for a drink and a bit of Lunch. We then headed for a brilliant close view of the Hollywood Sign before heading to the Griffith Observatory. Again a good 45 minutes at the observatory where the visibility over the city was amazing.
Throughout the day our Harry was a constant source of information and made our day very special. We headed back to the ship having had a real feel of the city and saw lots which the day trips run by the cruise lines could not do by coach. Even whilst driving through the city we were able to see the Chinese theatre and walk of fame the Beverly Hills Hotel and the infamous gardens frequented by George Michael and the Beverly Hilton for those who have an interest in Witney Huston. I could go on but to say that Harry was a wonderful guide and gentleman would be an understatement.
If you are in LA and wanting to see as much as possible with time at each and in the presence of a real professional and gentle man,Harry and La Platinum tours is what you want. In total the cost was $624 US or $104 per person which was a fraction of the price Princess we’re charging for inferior tours and shorter time scales. Just wonderful.

We first used the service a couple of years ago when we booked a tour to fill the gap between getting off a cruise and flying home, because of that experience we booked transfers to and from our most recent cruise out of San Pedro. Let me just say that the experience this time was excellent and affirmed that this is the company to use moving forward, Harry was prompt and attentive from beginning to end!
We have and will continue to recommend Harry and team to others traveling thru the LA area. We will definitely be using this service again and again!

Dear Harry! Thanks again for the many great impressions you could give us of L. A. You made the tour so interesting and great that we can only recommend it 1000%.
We couldn't have imagined a better tour. In 6 hours you have complained to us so many impressions, we will never forget that. Santa Monica, Venice Beach, Hollywood Sign, Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, Hollywood Blvd....... It was an unforgettable day that you prepared for Lisa and me. Thank you so much. We wish you and your family all the best.

Excellent email communications from the start to finish. We were picked up at LAX for a 8 hour private LA tour. Harry was our highly professional and friendly host/guide. We were taken to all the "can't miss' sights and had plenty of time to enjoy each location. Great to have a personalised tour from a local who knows the city well. Highly recommend LA Platinum Tour.

I highly recommend Harry for his private tours of LA. Took us to every spot we had on our list plus more. He also took the best pics of our family and nothing was too much trouble for him. We had done a tour around LA in the past but this one was honestly the best. Harry’s knowledge was way beyond our expectations. He knew it all and his kindness and patience was exceptional. If you’re looking for a tour of LA then don’t hesitate to book this! Thanks again Harry 😊

Harry is the best of the best tour guide ever. He is very knowledgeable and adapted the tour to suit us. We visited places we didn't know existed and saw others in a different light. Harry shared stories and interesting facts throughout the day. The four of us aged from 17 to 50 thoroughly enjoyed it all.
The vehicle is immaculate and has plenty of room. As we were flying out of LA late that evening, all our luggage was transported with us in the back of the car during the tour. Despite the excessive traffic throughout the city, Harry remained calm and relaxed. Glad it wasn't me driving. By the time we delivered us to the airport later in the evening, we felt like we were saying goodbye to a long time friend.
The tour (and Harry) were recommended to us by friends, and we are so glad we followed through and experienced LA with Harry. You will not be disappointed.

We used Harry nearly two years ago when we brought our daughters to the US for the first time from Australia and it was a magical start to LA and the Hollywood sites. So this time after arriving from Australia at 6:00 am in the morning Harry gave us some options to see some things we didn't see last time. A beach tour, breakfast and coffee at Hermosa Beach, a drive through Manhattan Beach, to the canals of Venice Beach, the pier at Santa Monica, a visit to the Getty Villa (need to pre-book a time slot, but is free to enter) then up the coast to Malibu Beach, the beautiful Zuma Beach and returning back down the the coast via the Malibu pier. Harry then stopped off at a grocery store so we could get some supplies before our final drop off at the hotel for check in. Harry is always on time, has cold water and mints available and some great stories to keep us engaged.
Side note, this trip we also used Harry for airport transports once we returned from New York (flight delayed an hour but he waited for us at 11 o'clock at night) and before leaving for Australia again. Fantastic, I can't speak more highly of the service.

Our family had a great day tour with Harry. Getting close to the Hollywood sign was a delight for our daughter. There was no rush to get back home at the end of the day and it was a great way to see all of LA and it made our choice of destinations to visit later in the week all the more easier. Great, comfortable SUV made it even better. Worth every dollar. Thank You.

We were lucky enough recently to have to two tours, one with John and one with Harry. Our first, with John, meant we were picked up at the airport (oh the joy!) and taken around Venice Beach, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills and finishing up in Hollywood. It was a great introduction to LA and John was so delightful. A personalised tour is so great as we just did exactly what we wanted, stopped where and when we wanted eg. we were hungry as we were driving past In'n'Out Burger so were able to pull in and get lunch! The next day we did a tour with Harry who took us more into Hollywood, and Griffith Observatory which was a real highlight. He also knew the best spots for photos and gave us lots of great information throughout. Thanks again John and Harry.

I found LA Platinum Tours and Tranpo in Tripadvisor and decided to book with them. It was the best decision I ever made. John was the best guide for me compared to the tours I have taken in the past in other countries. He made learning about Los Angeles history fun and he also obliged us if we wanted to stay in a place longer. This was the most relaxing tour I have been and my friend and I agreed that John made it perfect for us. If you want a classy tour with professional guides , then I highly recommend LA Platinum Tours and Transpo. They deserve every excellent rating they get! Thank you, John! You made it very enjoyable for me and my friend Michelle!
