Yuri picked us up at our hotel right on time in a nice big Suburban. He and I had corresponded prior to the trip so he had a good idea of the sites we wanted to see. He took us right away to the Hollywood sign, then off to Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, stars' homes, and on an on. It was so nice not having to try and drive and sightsee at the same time, being able to efficiently go where we wanted to go and getting a lot of back story along the way. Hiring him to guide us made the whole family pretty happy because no arguing and everyone got to see what they wanted to see. He also has a big tablet strapped to the dash that he uses to play YouTube videos that correspond to the next part of the trip and had that all well choreographed.
Overall, the completely stressless day I had and the fun the family had made the very reasonable price worth every penny.
