Our guide Bing was...

Michelle_S, Aug 2022

Our guide Bing was awesome!! Very knowledgeable, funny and kind. Our first time to LA & we felt like we saw everything we wanted to.

A great tour and an amazing tour guide!

Parnian_H, Aug 2022

The Grand City Tour of LA was really fun! From start to finish, everything was what we’d expected and in some parts even better. Our tour guide, Bing, called us a few minutes before pick up time to let us know where the group is waiting and greeted us when we arrived. She was extremely knowledgeable and explained everything as we passed through the city. Our stops were all well timed and we took note of many places that we would like to go back to and visit again. Lunch at farmer’s market was also really good. Would definitely try and book another tour with Viator soon!

The exceptional L.A tour.

Ryan_M, Aug 2022

Hollywood and the Hollywood sign, Beverly Hills. It was a great tour! And Grandma Bing was the best!

Great tour of LA. Host was warm, friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend this to anyone who has time in LA while visiting.

Beautiful and awesome

Jephthah_O, Jul 2022

Touring round Hollywood of fame, Beverly Hills, downtown LA, and Griffith observation park and many other beautiful places in LA.

Just a thought...

Gregorio_L, Jul 2022

Smaller van allows for more conversation making it easier to exchange more ideas on what you may like to do in the area. It takes you to locations you may want to revisit to explore more..

Nice half day tour

FatimaZahra_E, Jul 2022

Bing is the best!!! Thanks for a lovely half day, stories and sharing tips about things to do in the city.

Awesome experience

Beatrice_O, Jul 2022

Paul, our tour guide, was the best. He gave us an incredible tour of LA. We got the touristy things, but we also got to see some historic sites, “off the beaten path” things that made the tour that much more special. The van was clean, comfortable and cool, which was nice in the summer. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone that wanted to see LA!

Awesome LA

NIVEDITA_R, Jul 2022

The guide was informative and very friendly…. In all superb experience…. Enjoyed the day… Only need to widen pickup points. I was staying at Four point by Sheraton Los Angeles International Airport and was very inconvenient to reach downtown.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Hi Nivedita, Thank you so much for taking time out to review your tour experience with us. We are thrilled to see that you rated your experience as awesome, and we are also very excited that you found your tour guide to be very informative and friendly. As far as pick ups go, in order to offer competitive pricing—and also to keep our tour quality at the highest level—we only pick up in a limited area of Los Angeles. This is what we’ve found to be best for our guests instead of having them sit in shuttle-like experience considering the traffic in our city. We hope this helps shed light on the structure of our pick-ups, and if you need a further clarification please feel free to contact us at any time. We do appreciate this review and we hope to see you next time you pass through the Los Angeles area. Happy travels!

Outstanding tour!

Edward_K, Jul 2022

Our tour guide - Bing - had extensive knowledge & experience of Los Angeles. She demonstrated a detailed history of Los Angeles & California in general. She was able to point out celebrities’ houses & gave great recommendations about areas to visit as well as to avoid & shared useful recommendations for restaurants & bars. She was thoroughly professional & a pleasure to have as our guide.
