We had a fantastic time on our private tour of Hollywood. David is a true wealth of knowledge, and I couldn’t believe how much he knew about both current pop culture, as well as the history of Hollywood and the Golden Age stars (my interest!). He adapted the tour to our interests, our end point (Musso and Frank’s for a historical Hollywood dinner), kids’ interests, and even bathroom breaks! David picked us up in a meticulously clean SUV and even had a booster seat my son could sit in. He took us to the Hollywood sign, where normal tour buses can’t go, and got lovely photos of us there. We continued to drive around and learn about the history of the area and film industry, as well as current goings-on in the LA area. We cruised around Beverly Hills to view some current and former celebrity homes, and we were impressed both by where we could go as a private car (vs a typical tour bus), as well as David’s respectfulness to the residents and area. We wanted to pack in lots of LA landmarks and history for the kiddos, and we certainly did that! And I just couldn’t get over how much David knew, no matter what question we asked. Highly recommend this tour!
What an amazing review on so many levels. Tours in a city like Los Angeles can truly make or break a visitors experience. We are proud to be the #1 private tour company in Los Angeles for over 20 years. Our guides have decades of knowledge in and around our great city. We pride ourselves in providing an experience for each guest... whether 1-years old, or 101 years-old. Truly, we cater to each and every private tour as your review points out. MOST IMPORTANTLY, SO, SO VERY HAPPY YOU EXPERIENCED THE MUSSO & FRANK GRILL in Hollywood. Going strong since 1919. Those walls truly do talk...along with the waiters that were there during the Golden Age of Hollywood. - JM
Joe was an excellent, knowledgeable tour guide that tailored the experience to our tastes as our daughter is a Golden Era of Hollywood buff! Learned a lot, got familiarized and ready to explore more!
Thank you for the kind words and I'll be sure to share with Joe.
