A great way to experience LA without the hassle of driving/public transport. Our driver/guide (Talib) really made it informative and fun - thank you Talib and Hollywood Bus Tours

Bee was amazing and my family all loved the tour. Being taken around by an ex-papparazzi provided so much information about celebs and their whereabouts. This was the best experience we had in LA. She took time to know the people on her tour and we were referred to as Oxford as that's where we were from. I didn't realise how big Beverly Hills was and the area covered in the tour was immense. It meant that a lit of areas I thought about driving around I no longer had to do.

The tour is a "must do" for tourists wanting to see LA's iconic places. We already had a hire car but going by bus was brilliant. But what made the day was the guide. Talib is terrific; a real character. He linked people to locations placing everything in context with shovel fulls of good humour. Would definately recommend.
