Jeff was an absolute delight as our host. He was very knowledgeable about the city and made it even better. I highly recommend this experience.
Our tour Guide John was very great he was a very experienced tour guide had a lot of information about all the different locations. He made the tour pretty fun and also provided water bottles for everyone since it was an extremely hot day we went. I would highly recommend this tour he went and covered everything!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you Aluicia for sharing this wonderful five-star review! We're so pleased to hear that John's local knowledge of Los Angeles was appreciated and helped make your day so much fun. We're also glad that the complimentary bottled water kept you well hydrated throughout the tour! Thank you for your kind recommendation, it truly means a great deal to us. — A Day in LA Tours! 🌴🚌

We love that you found this tour to be best way to see LA in a day and we truly appreciate you choosing to spend the day with us! Wishing you many more sage a great traveling moments ahead! — A Day in LA Tours! 🌴🚌
Wonderful tour, especially if time is limited. We saw most of the well-known spots, but the Griffith Observatory was the stand out of the day. Thank you for an enjoyable tour with such a vast amount of local knowledge!
This full-day Best of LA tour was a fantastic way to see Los Angeles in just one day! It was fast-paced, well-organized, and covered many of the city’s most iconic sights. Our driver and tour guide, Key, was engaging, knowledgeable, and kept the day fun from start to finish. The bus was clean and very comfortable, and on an unusually hot Southern California day, the complimentary cold bottled water was a much-appreciated touch. A heads-up for anyone booking: this tour involves quite a bit of walking, and the stops are intentionally brief. You’ll have enough time to take photos and do a little exploring before heading to the next destination. If you’re looking for an in-depth tour of each location, this isn’t it, but if your goal is to see the highlights of LA in a single day, it’s perfect. I highly recommend this tour and would absolutely do it again!
If you want a tour thats covers all the main tourist attractions in 1 day this is where to go. Guide was extremely knowledgable and personable .
Great way to see a lot of Los Angeles! Leave the driving & parking hassles to someone else. Most efficient way to cover a lot of ground. Great tour!
Fun day trip! We definitely saw all of “the iconic spots.” Great guide who connected well with a full bus of tourists from all over the U.S. & the world. We would definitely recommend this trip, especially if you want to see it all on a limited timeframe & budget!
It was a great time! In 7h we managed to see everything we wanted with this tour. John was a great tour guide and he also picked us up and returned to our hotel. Highly recommend!
