Unfortunately this did...

Unfortunately this did not meet our expectation. We understand this is an app based tour but had thought with a driver that they would be familiar with the route, know the stops and let us know approximate times we could spend at specific stops. Our driver spoke less than ten words to us in four hours, skipped stops (I was following the route on our phone) and was visibly irritated by the app and traffic including telling us the app was wrong. We had a 6 year old in the car and he played a radio station with frequent expletives in talkback language. Was just a super expensive Uber unfortunately, definitely not as advertised. You would be better off picking a couple of the destinations and ubering - save significantly on the cost and see the same sights.

Loved it! Best stops and commentary of LA!

Did this tour with my family and it was the perfect tour. You can start this tour anytime, pause it, and resume whenever you would like! We started out in Santa Monica, grabbed dinner and then went to the 3rd street promenade, Beverly Hills and finished the rest of the tour the next day! Great fun!

The best stops of LA hands down

Wow! I love LA after this tour, this tour has the very best, and most hip stops of LA! I booked the Uber pass option, and it was great! I spent the whole day exploring LA, from Hollywood, Sunset, Venice, Santa Monica!! You see it all!

Disappointing

We were disappointed with what we were able to see. There were 20 sites listed. We got through half of them and had only gotten out of the car once. It seemed like we spent $700 to sit in traffic.

Hi Victoria, Thank you for sharing your review with us. Here at Pintours, customer satisfaction is our #1 priority. You booked the 4 hour option, and we customized the tour to your preferences. Sometimes, there is a tradeoff between seeing all the stops, and spending more time at each stop. In any case, we do offer the opportunity to book a 5 hour option, or add more time to the tour, if you are enjoying it! And you have the option to stay in the car, or walk around! Totally personalized to your liking! Thank you again for touring with us, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

Great Personalized Tour of LA

Very fun tour, and great stops! I honestly think the stops on this tour are some of the best and most iconic spots of LA. I’ve been to LA before, but this tour was different. You see both the city life, like Beverly Hills and Downtown but the laid back beaches too. My favorite stops were Sunset Boulevard and hermosa beach. Michael’s commentary has a very unique and insightful take on LA, really makes it exciting to listen to. We took the Uber Pass option, which was great as we could customize the tour a bit more. I’m taking one star off because we skipped the Hike Hollywood Sign, because we were short on time, but still a really amazing experience!

Not the typical viator experience

My experience was not what I expected or what was communicated. My driver had no information about the site sites that we visited. I booked a beach and city tour. We didn't make it to any beaches at all. The tour was supposed to be 4 hours, but the driver said he was only booked for 3hrs. Ultimately I was given a full refund. Viator tours are usually amazing, this one was unsatisfactory.
