“I don’t know how there are so many rave reviews for this. It was “meh.” Our driver, Disco the Don, was a rather reckless driver and more focused on looking at and pointing out houses, than keeping his eyes on the road. The sights we saw were mediocre. As a tour guide, he had very little knowledge and repeated the same one or two sentences about what we were seeing, and what we were about to see, rather than sharing interesting Hollywood tidbits.

Yes…there’s the traffic, but that’s part of the LA love. The tour was very informative, upbeat and never boring. Tommy - our guide - really knows his stuff! From fun facts to engaging his audience. Give him a 10 out of 10! We laughed and enjoyed the commentary and the city sites. Will be returning for another pleasant drive around the Californian Dream Factory.”
