We have just got back from our trip with Mark, all I can say is, it was fabulous and it didn't disappoint and I would 110% recommend booking with them...Mark was so nice and you could tell with 19 years experience he had a vast amount of knowledge. Mark didn't rush the tour, he was happy to stop so we could take photos and he even took photos himself which he sent over straightaway. A top experience all round...thank you Mark...JD and Fee
The van was clean and spacious. The pickup location (Farmer’s Market) was a really cool and safe place. We actually got there 3 hours early to check that place out. Excellent food and good shopping. We met Mark in the afternoon and began our adventure. I feel like we drove all over town. We covered all the bases and checked all the boxes for Hollywood/Beverly Hills and then some. The tour is scripted with Mark talking and a big TV screen in the van, but there are plenty of time for questions and off script conversations. The pictures and clips Mark shows on his big screen really enhance the trip. Mark also takes a lot of pictures of your group and will send them to you…so you can sit back and enjoy the trip and still have cool pictures when it’s done. It’s a well thought out tour by a private guide (small business owner) who really knows the ins and outs of Hollywood and the surrounding areas. I highly recommend this tour!!
This was an amazing tour highly recommend to book at the beginning of your trip or day 1!! I recommend get breakfast and be at the meeting spot a little early. I forgot our tour guides name but he was great he has been doing this for decades!!
Thank you for trusting us with your LA sightseeing experience! We’d love to see you again and share even more hidden gems and Hollywood secrets.
We saw celebrity homes and heard anecdotes about many movie stars and music legends; we visited Laurel Canyon, Hollywood Bowl, Capital Records and the famous recording studios, Greystone Mansion…….too many sites to mention. Mark is a master entertainer and his multimedia tour with music and video is fabulous. His van is comfortable and afforded great visibility as we toured around; but the most outstanding part of the tour is Mark himself with all the history and background he provides. Hearing the music as he talked about famous rock stars was such a plus. He also took pictures and shared many photos with us at the end of the tour, We had a group of 5 adults and one small dog and we all agree Mark is the best.
Thank you for the glowing review! From the Walk of Fame to Beverly Hills, we love sharing the best of LA, and we’re thrilled you enjoyed it. We love dogs at Legends Of Hollywood Tours. Until next time!
Fabulous city tour with Mark Morrow. He is so knowledgeable and definitely goes the extra mile to ensure that the tour is great value and entertaining. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting LA
I especially enjoyed the history of LA and Hollywood. We also visited Korea Town which was enlightening. Mark knew all the interesting places and the events that took place at those locations. The videos were well done and very effective. Mark is an excellent tour guide. I highly recommend his tour!
Excellent guide. Detailed knowledge and lot of insider stories for all people interested in celebrities and their lifestyle.
Mark proved to be an exceptional guide, combining extensive knowledge with a delightful sense of humor. With his guidance, I explored iconic landmarks including the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Hollywood Sign, Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, and the Farmers Market, among others. I wholeheartedly recommend his services for an enriching and enjoyable experience.
As I have been visiting L.A. to attend a conference, I had limited time to explore the city. I booked the tour the evening before, suggested by the hotel's concierge. I was expecting a "usual" guided tour with flat tone and just some facts. Mark is not giving just a 4-hours guided tour, but rather a performance. Lot of fun facts (and more serious ones) about the city, its history and of course its music and movie legends. The tour is definetely worth taking, especially when having just a few days in L.A. But even if you have plenty of time, you can get a good overall idea of what you should visit and explore on your own.
Mark did it again! This time I brought my family and they were impressed by his knowledge of the ins, outs, and roundabouts when it comes to LA and Hollywood! Thanks again!
