Fun time
Wait and get your tickets when you arrive, they do buy one get one free. So $60. for my husband and myself. It was a great easy way to see the area. Our driver, I'm sorry I forget his name but has Red hair. Funny guy. We made one stop for bathrooms and pictures. Glad we took the time

Tour of jollywood
The tour was nice. Wish we could have got some time to see the sign but that road has no where to pull off. The driver was great and kept the group entertained.

Great Open Hollywood Tour!
The open bus was full and our driver, Jacob, was comical, knowledgeable, and interactive with each passenger. He even had us all singing Happy Birthday to my daughter as we were sightseeing. He prepared us for the narrow and elevated roads before he started up the mountain. The length of the trip was 2 hrs which was just perfect. I wish we could have seen more celebrity homes, but it was still a fun trip where we traveled down Route 66.

Best tour in Hollywood
We had an amazing experience on this tour! It was a great way to see many of Los Angeles’ most iconic neighborhoods and celebrity homes in just a couple of hours. Our driver, Tommy, was absolutely fantastic—knowledgeable, witty, and genuinely entertaining. His stories and sense of humor made the two-hour tour fly by, and we learned so much about the city along the way.
If you’re visiting LA and want a fun, informative, and well-organized tour, I highly recommend this company. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!
