The four stop tour has stops in all the good places, enough time to see the city and get pics. Tour guide (Mike) had some great facts and stories highly recommend this tour to see the city.
Shawn was awesome - knowledgeable and enthusiastic about LA. He stayed with the bus at drop-offs so you could return if needed. There was a restroom at every stop. The stops were well timed, and great locations to explore. The bus was very comfortable, air conditioned - had WiFi and USB jacks. You could leave things on the bus if you desired. The tour was exactly as described and more.
Incredible experience. Our tour guide ( I believe his name is Shawn) was amazing and full of information.
So much fun will definitely refer my friends and family
We had an amazing tour given by Talib AKA Steve AKA Charity. Incredibly knowledgeable and funny. Excellent way of seeing the city
I had a wonderful time here. The atmosphere was great, the staff was extremely friendly and welcoming, and everything exceeded my expectations.
I took this tour with my adult son and daughter in law and they had a blast! I’ve done tours like this before so I knew what to expect. They agreed but were skeptical. So the fact that they were raving about it half way through was cool! Chelsea was our guide and she did amazing!

Talib is 10 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Stars World Class. Sharp, Intelligent, Knowledgeable, A Great Personality, Insightful, Great Smile, Very Very Well Spoken, Educated and above all else a Humbly, Genuine down to Earth Human Being. And I must add a Superb driver. More than 1 attendee commented on this. Talib would be a Fantastic Top Tier choice to host, present, announce and or be a Master of Ceremony of any event... Weddings, Award Shows perhaps the next Jimmy Kimmel ( yes Talib is comedicly quick witted ) ? The price I paid is actually undervalued taking everything into consideration. Enclosed bus is clean, comfortable and relaxing. No, this company did not sponsor me nor affiliated with them in any way shape or form. We as a society need to recognize Greatness and I must say that was a Marvelous Experience I had thanks to the Greatness of Talib. You are The Man Talib ! Blessings. Fulfill your purpose in life. Live your Dream.
