Don’t Bother……

The tour guide was amazing however I didn’t feel like the tour was worth $70. I went on a Sunday so it was very chill. The tour was two hours in length and pretty much gave us history of the first 76 gas station in LA, told story of old celebrities that overdosed in hotels, and it was just too long. I feel like it’s worth $40 and maybe shorten the time. Although it was a gloomy rainy day the tour guide was funny we just didn’t receive any recent tea on celebrities but he was funny. I would never do it again however I’d suggest maybe the brunch tour for the same price is a bit more exciting.

Good

It’s very intriguing if you know names of famous people so it was nice to know background info regarding celebrities and the locations. Our tour guide was very friendly and easy to follow.

It was Nice but off course. Driver skipped places and speaker wasn't happy. The driver did not slow down enough

It was my first time in LA. Driver was in a rush and skipped some points along the way. The guide was visibly upset. Capone maintained. 2 kids were there and probably should warn parents about verbal and videos that would be displayed. He was funny despite. We played 3 trivia questions which I won a tshirt. The rice crispy spot I was not a fan. Probably should have offer a shot. Was not worth the money if she would skip spots and did not see any celebrities. Kapone sung happy birthday to my husband. Good voice.

Funny quick trip around celeb hot spots. The tour narrator was fun as well as Harvey’s clips on the screens.

Meh

Book a cheaper tour. You will not see celebrities, and they all go by the same spots. Average at best.

Operator response

Creative spin on celebrity gossip sites and Hollywood staples

Our guide Capone was entertaining! It was fun to ride through the neighborhoods and see sites that were made most famous by celebrities in both positive and negative ways. The large, open windows allow you to take candid photos of landmarks and scenery of interest to you. Sit on the right side of the bus if you can; lots of the featured locations will be on that side. You meet outside of the Hard Rock Cafe, and walk a couple blocks over to the bus. This tour doesn't include any stops that allow you to deboard the bus, so plan your liquids and food accordingly. You can also play a few games on board to win TMZ swag-I won an oversized t-shirt 😊!

Good driver. Great tour guide. Would be nice to replace some of the stripper and working girl stories with family friendly ones.

Delayed flight, missed the tour and got no response from these tour people

If you have a travel mishap (delayed flight) and are unable to make your scheduled time, don’t bother trying to reach out to these people to see if u can reschedule. They simply ignore your message and take your money.

Operator response

Please contact me directly at maryc@bigbustours.com so I can gather your ticket information and look into this matter for you, Thank you

Hollywood TMZ Tour

Tour bus that shows you where celebrities scandals took place and where they hang out in the Hollywood, Beverly Hills and LA area. I didn’t get to see any celebrities, but tour was very informative with a combo of a live guide and videos. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Truck was clean, comfortable with leather seats, outlets for phone chargers and the breeze on the open air truck on a sunny California day was wonderful. If you don’t see a celebrity, you feel it’s over priced. Just note….a celebrity citing is not guaranteed.

Operator response

We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found it informative and that our staff was friendly and helpful, even though you didn't spot any celebrities. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future!- Best wishes, Mara from Big Bus
