Well worth it forn1 day in LA
Geoffrey was our guide. He was very informative and accommodating. I liked that he asked the group what we preferred so we spend more time at the farmers market and less at rodeo drive.

Wonderful Day!
Despite the hot weather, Chad made this tour very much worth doing! We saw so much during the tour. We found getting the tour in Santa Monica very easy and saved us from driving directly in LA. Must do for everyone wanting a glimpse of LA when shorty on time.
