Nice tour with a bad stop.

The tour guide deserved 5 stars, tour was interesting and he was entertaining. Venice beach should be removed from the tour immediately. It's a cloud of weed smoke, but other drug use is prevalent out in the open. It was a bad ending to a nice day.

Operator response

Thank you for your review. We appreciate your input concerning Venice Beach. It is one of the most disputed part of our tour. Some people love seeing the mid-way atmosphere and all that includes. Others will not disembark from the bus out of concern for safety. We have over the years removed it from the tour only to receive complaints and requests to reinstate it. We do assure all of our guests that their safety and security are our number one priority and we stress that with our guests. If a guest is uncomfortable concerning any part of the tour, we hope they will let us know so that we can take whatever action that may be needed to calm that concern. Most commonly, the resolution is remaining on the bus with the driver/guide while the others on the tour visit the attraction causing that individual concern.

Great Los Angeles Tour

Our tour guide was the best. Considering we had Spanish speaking people he was bilingual and included them in the tour so they didn't feel left out. I would highly recommend to someone who is visiting for the first time.
