My family went on a full day private tour of Los Angeles and it was amazing! Our tour guide Joe S. picked us up right on time in a super comfortable SUV. He was very knowledgeable and shared interesting facts with us throughout the tour. We enjoyed all of the stops and since it was private Joe catered the tour to our preferences. My sons couldn’t care less about Rodeo Drive so we took a little detour and learned about the tar pits. We all highly recommend this tour!
I had an absolutely fantastic experience with A Day In LA Tour, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! Our guide, Jeanette, was absolutely amazing and truly made the experience infinitely better. She was friendly, knowledgeable, engaging, and made the entire day so much fun! The tour stops were the perfect way to experience so much of what Los Angeles has to offer without feeling rushed or spending too much time in one place. The amount of time at each location was perfect—just enough to explore, take pictures, and enjoy each stop before moving on to the next. If you’re visiting LA and want to see a lot in one day while having a great time doing it, this is absolutely the tour to take! And if you’re lucky enough to have Jeanette as your guide, you’re in for an even better experience! 5 stars all the way! I would recommend A Day In LA Tour to everyone! 🌴☀️📸
Great day, an easy way to see the major sites in LA. Jam packed day, with just enough time at each stop.
Journey was good, good timing dadicayed to the visits, our “navigator” shared a lot of information and news… I suggest this tour experience
We came across this tour a few days before we left on vacation and we are so glad we did! Jeanette our tour guide was so knowledgeable and fun! We got to see so many things. Traveling with two teenagers and they had just as much fun on this tour. It was a great way to spend our first day of vacation.
Very compact and efficient visit of major sites in LA
Wow, what an incredible day! Our tour guide Joe had so much knowledge about all the areas we visited. Absolutely recommend this tour, best way to see LA in a Day. The tour was everything we expected and more.
What a day. From start to finish we were so well looked after. Our guide George was absolutely fantastic. Full of energy, knowledge and fun. He made the whole day fantastic. Saw so much , great to get so many places seen and so many picture opportunities. So glad I booked it and worth every cent. Don’t miss out
The entire experience was amazing ! Our guides were very friendly and knowledgeable (I especially loved learning the history of all the sites) and everything went very smoothly
Key got us to all the sights in one day. She shared her local knowledge and interesting facts as she drove us through crazy LA traffic . Lunch at the Farmers Market provided lots of choice. Timing was good, long enough to explore areas independently and then back onto the bus for next sight. Highly recommend as a general overview of LA sights.
