Guideline Tours Inc. in LA is phenomenal. Dave was absolutely amazing—licensed, professional, and knew everyone’s name within 10 minutes. My daughters now refer to him as “Uncle Dave”, he was amazing. When heavy rain was forecasted for our exact tour time, Dave proactively reached out and adjusted the plan to make sure we had the best possible experience. That level of service is rare. His knowledge of the arts, the area and history was outstanding, and the tour was perfectly tailored to our group. I can’t recommend Guideline Tours Inc. enough. Just book it—you won’t regret it.
20 out of 5 stars back at you! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dave really is one of a kind, and hearing that your daughters now call him “Uncle Dave” made our entire team smile. That ability to connect so quickly and make every guest feel part of the experience is exactly what sets our guides apart. Guideline Tours has been operating in Los Angeles since 1988, and guides like Dave bring a level of experience and knowledge of LA’s history, arts, and culture that’s truly unmatched. Our small-group tours allow us to keep things personal, interactive, and thoughtfully tailored to each group. Dave adjusting the plan around the weather is a perfect example of the care and professionalism we pride ourselves on. We’re so glad your family had such a memorable afternoon with us. We wish you continued happy travels and hope to welcome you back to Los Angeles again soon.
