Awesome tour

We could not have asked for a better tour. Rivers was a great guide very informative. We had watched large tour buses stopping with large groups and 1 guide and we were so thankful it was just us and had our guide to ourselves. We felt we fit everything there is to see in LA into this one tour it was perfect. Would highly recommend this tour

Operator response

Yes, there is nothing better than having your own tour guide and having the flexibility to spend the time that you want at the places you like. We thank you for allowing us to serve you and we look forward to your next visit!!

This is my second time on...

This is my second time on this particular tour. Crazy enough, I had the same tour guide/ host both times a year apart! Rivers is amazing. He’s so knowledgeable and willing to hear what we wanted from the tour and fulfilled. This tour is a perfect way to see ALL the LA highlights. There is so much to see and having someone else be the guide and driver is a perfect way to see so much.

Operator response

Hi Cheryl, thank you for your continued trust. We know there are many options out there and knowing that we always deliver the best service and tour in the city makes us very proud. We look forward to showing our city to your family and friends in the future. Safe and happy travels, We Love L.A. tour family

Great Day in LA

We had a fabulous time with Rivers. We were able to see so much in one day. We did not have to worry about parking and we were even able to see places that were not on the original itinerary that the kids wanted to see. Rivers is extremely knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed our day.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. Certainly parking, access to some areas, and flexibility are some of the main benefits of booking a private tour Vs. a regular tour. We look forward to your next visit!! We Love L.A. family

Private tour of LA.

We had family in town for the Rose Parade. I’ve done a tour before in LA but it was not a private tour. I was hesitant because of the price but now I realize is definitely worth it. First, you do not have to drive anywhere to take a bus. Second, you and your family have the flexibility with the times at the places you visit. On a large tour, times are set regardless if you like a place or not. Third, the pictures at the Hollywood Sign are perfect. I really think if you want to explore Los Angeles, We Love LA tours is the way to go!!!

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We look forward to your next adventure with us. Safe and happy travels, We Love L.A. tour family!
