Our Los Angeles bus tours are filled with so many fan-favorite locations and landmarks, that it feels you’re experiencing multiple tours in one! When you arrive at the stop for the Venice Beach Tour, you’ll get to visit everything from The Boardwalk to Muscle Beach!
Here’s what you can expect to see on your tour of Venice Beach!
The Boardwalk: People watching is a popular activity at Venice Beach because the beach attracts such a colorful cast of characters. The boardwalk stretches for about 1.5 miles along the coast and attracts millions of visitors each year. The boardwalk is famous for its Bohemian spirit and diverse array of attractions, from fortune-tellers to handmade crafts. You can watch people skate, cycle, and play volleyball or basketball from a convenient perch on the boardwalk, which also provides breathtaking views of the Pacific.
Muscle Beach: While the original Muscle Beach was located in Santa Monica, that once-popular hotspot disappeared way back in the 1960s. Since then, a newer, better Muscle Beach has evolved at Venice Beach. You can watch chiseled men and women exercise from outside a building that’s appropriately shaped like a dumbbell, or you can watch the action sitting in the stands near the facility’s competition stage.
Venice Skate Park: Constructed in 2009, Venice Skate Park has quickly turned into one of California’s most iconic skateboarding hotspots. Situated mere steps from Venice Beach’s beautiful shore, Venice Skate Park boasts gorgeous, mature palm trees and some of the best skateboarding action you’ll find anywhere. Depending on when you visit, you may even see a skate video shoot firsthand!

Curious to know more about Venice Beach?
Here are a couple of fun facts to ponder during your Venice Beach excursion:
Beach History: Venice Beach was founded in 1905 by tobacco millionaire Abbot Kinney as a seaside resort town. Kinney designed the area to mimic Venice, Italy, complete with a network of canals. While many of the original canals were filled in during the 1920s to make way for roads, some historic canals still exist and can be explored today.
Skateboarding History: Venice Beach is considered one of the birthplaces of modern skateboarding. In the 1970s, the Z-Boys, a group of skateboarders from the area, revolutionized the sport by incorporating surfing techniques into their skating.
Geography: Venice Beach itself stretches along approximately 3 miles of the Pacific coastline. The beach area is part of the larger neighborhood of Venice, which covers about 3.1 square miles. The Venice neighborhood has a population of around 40,000 people, contributing to the vibrant and eclectic community atmosphere.

"A perfect way to see a lot of LA in one day. Comfy tour bus, small groups and friendly knowledgeable guides. Free bottled water throughout the day and fruit and juice at time of boarding. The guide and driver gave plenty of commentary as we drove around then gives you some free time to explore..."
Picked up on time at 8am on Hollywood Boulevard and driven to Santa Monica. Had about 40 minutes downtime before tour due to start at 9:20. The downtime is mentioned in the booking notes so not an issue. Though tour proper was due to start at 9:20 the bus didn't arrive till 10.00 a.m. as the bus was held up by an accident on the highway, we were made aware of this but it didn't seem to change t the rest of the itinerary , just that we finished later than planned. The tour started at 10am and we arrived back in Hollywood Boulevard at ,5pm where I left the tour , the bus was staying for about 50 minutes where you could then turn to Santa Monica if you wanted.Note the tour comprises of a number of stops where you are left to explore the area on your own. The guide does not accompany you at all.Our guide John was very informative and helpful.Overall very good tour and saw a lot.
Excellent service, coordination and execution, tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining.The company stay in contact from the beggining of the booking.Will definetely recomend to friends and family. Two thumbs way Up..
We have just had the most amazing day!! Picked up and dropped off at our hotel, 8.30am - 6pm. There was nothing we didn’t see today. John or driver was exceptional. I will be doing this again next time I’m in LA without hesitation!!
We very much enjoyed our ‘LA Iconic sights & Beaches’ tour with ‘A Day in LA in Tours”’ as it was great coverage of both Santa Monica & Venice Beaches as well as the iconic LA sights. The bus was comfortable & a good size for small manageable groups. Our driver Jeff was very personable - with a banter sporting a great blend of historical & local knowledge and humour, complemented by great music. Making our booking through Viator & liaising with the “A Day in LA Tours” company for ongoing communication was effortless.
We really enjoyed relaxing while the tour took us to all the spots to give us a good taste of LA. The guide narrated interesting facts and the time at each spot was just right!
Simple system of four routes that you can travel with one ticket. There's a lot to see. I recommend taking a two-day ticket if you want to get out at individual spots. The tour stops at every highlight you know from LA. The bus drivers were all super nice.
This is the tour you have to take if you want to see everything about LA in one day. Griffith Observatory, Rodeo Drive, Muscle Beach, Venice, the Pier, Hollywood. You'll leave feeling like you really have a handle on LA. Plus the drivers are entertaining, often working actors. My family really enjoyed the lunch break at the Farmer's Market. Don't miss this tour -- it's the best.You get time at each location to get off the bus and look around. It's actually kind of amazing how much you can see and get done in one day.
Great tour! Well-curated list of stops and the perfect amount of time at each stop. There is no way we could have done all of that on our own in that amount of time. If we had tried, I would have been frazzled from driving and looking for parking. This way, I got to enjoy it all stress-free. John was cheerful, organized, and informative, with great suggestions for things to do on our stops. Highly recommend!
Jeff with the full day LA tours was wonderful!! Got to see so many sites, perfect amount of time at each stop, clear enough for the Hollywood sign, would have loved to go back to the farmers market, so much to walk around with shops and decore for the holidays, even a cute trolly ran thru. Santa Monica pretty walk along beach. Sunset stop at the store they drop you off at, best souvenirs. Rodeo drive top notch, great pic spots, highly recommend!!
If you want to see LA a 1 day, highly recommend this tour. You get about 40-60 min at each destination. You won’t need to battle parking which is great. You’ll even cruise by celebrities homes. I saw all the sights I wanted to see thru this bus ride. There’s about 15-20 ppl per bus so it’s not a huge tour bus. Our guide Joe was great with his info provided and sense of humor. Easy to book, check in and ride. Best way to see LA.
Absolutely loved the tour. Raul was our tour guide and he was truly phenomenal. He gave us all kinds of history and information, some typical and other information that only someone born and raised in Los Angeles would know. We saw so much and had such a fantastic experience!
My grandson and myself took this tour and had the best time! We saw a lot of wonderful sites. We had plenty of time at each stop. I use a wheeled walker and our driver Colin was there to help me in and out of the bus each time. Want to see LA? Take this tour and you won't be sorry.
Great day with our guide, Ali! Safe, clean vehicle, adjusted the tour to our preferences, friendly, knowledgeable and very likable. We saw so much of LA in one day and didn’t have to worry about directions or parking or traffic. Private full-day tour. Highly recommend. Worth it.
We had a wonderful time on the tour. Steve, our tour guide, provided immensely useful information that helped us navigate back to the bus after the dropoff at different destinations. Thank you for a great LA day!
Fantastic private tour of the city. Our tour guide, Ali, was very professional and knowledgeable. Great personality and kept my teenage kids engaged throughout the day. This tour really gives you all the highlights of the city in a day. Being a private tour, you get to tailor it to your own preferences. It really gave us an opportunity to see everything and then we could decide where we want to go back to another day on our own time. Top-notch service and luxurious transportation. Thanks for an amazing day!
This full day iconic LA tour package is well worth the price. Colin, our tour guide and driver, is entertaining, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We went to great sightseeing places and it was amazing how a lot of your bucketlist sites are done in a day. I greatly recommend this tour and this tour company, and will definitely book with them again for future trips and tours with my family.
On holidays from Ireland in Nov 24 so had a lot to pack in. Had a wonderful day with this company, so friendly and helpful and got to see all we wanted and more with no time wasted. A long day but enjoyed every minute. Thank you for a great day! Helen and David
Highly recommend A Day in LA Tours! Great way to see the key sights of LA, plus our guide Raul was amazing…full of information as driving from sight to sight. Raul allowed for just the right amount of time at the sights. Thank you Raul!
I had an amazing experience on the "A Day in LA" tour!! The locations we visited were fantastic, covering all the main sites of the city. Our tour guide George was excellent, offering insightful commentary and sharing lots of interesting knowledge about LA's history and culture. The tour was very well organised and I loved that I didn't have to worry about traffic or parking-definitely the best way to explore LA without the hassle. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the highlights of the city in a relaxed, informative way!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour today. Jeannette was very informative and had a great sense of humor. She picked us up promptly at our hotel in Anaheim and led us on an enjoyable day. We definitely recommend.
Wow! The A Day in LA Tour was amazing. Colin, was our phenomenal tour guide and driver. We saw and heard so much in one day. Each stop was fun and exciting.We experienced some LA traffic at the end of the tour enroute to ourhotels. This only authenticated the experience even more. I highly recommend the A Day on LA tour. You WILL truly see and learn so much about LA and the surrounding areas! It was a fun way to spend the day before leaving on a 15 day cruise.
It’s a long day but I’d you only have one day, it’s the best way to see the most! They went out of their way for us when we had trouble getting to our starting point.
We were disappointed, we only got 25 mins at Santa Monica Pier and the same for Venice beach. By the time you walk to the place and use a bathroom your times up. Other couples were late back 4 times aswell. We got back at 5pm which was too early, for the price we paid I feel let down. Tour was an anti climax
A Day in LA Tours was amazing. I highly recommend anyone that wants to go see the major spots in LA to book this tour. Thank you A Day in LA tours for an amazing day we will never forget!
My family and I had a great time on our tour with A Day in LA. The communication was clear from back when I booked the tour (six months ago), through the day before and morning of the tour. Michael’s energy got the morning going and Jeff’s narrative guide through the city was phenomenal. Each stop was clearly thought out along with each return time. I would definitely recommend to anyone coming to visit L.A.
A day in LA is a perfect tour- I had done one in 2020 on my last trip to LA from BostonMy friend and I did it again today and it was as good as beforeThe tour was smooth, efficient on a smaller bus and Colin, the tour guide was informative, engaging , making the tour an absolute delightI would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get an overview of Los Angeles
Right from the pickup, we knew we were going to have a great day! With Michael entertaining us with "The Michael Morning Show" from pickup through to Santa Monica. Then over to John for the tour passing on his wealth of knowledge, history, info and tips at each stop location and along the way. A great way to see the highlights of LA when you have limited time. Thanks for a great day and the memories.
I want to start by expressing my gratitude to this amazing team. My husband and I thought we would not be able to make it, but they went out of their way to accommodate us and make everything work. Instead of letting it go when I called to say I might not make it, they reached out to see how we could still proceed. The driver was not only fun but also very knowledgeable. My husband and I truly enjoyed our tour!
It was a long day but for someone who does not like driving in the traffic it was great. The driver did all the driving and she was good. Very informative of many places not listed on the tour. Made stops at other places when suggested. Very knowledgeable of the area and the traffic conditions. They must see tour. It was our first and probably only one glad we did it
A great day tour of Los Angeles fantastic itinerary, took in lots of great landmarks , great value too.picked up At La La land then headed to Santa Monica for meet up and tour bus. We were well informed of what our itinerary was and gave us a map. Jeff was our driver and introduced himself to everyone individually,very professional at all times, had a. great few atories and historic facts too. very clean and comfortable mini bus, Jeff was very knowledgeable and passionate about his job and LA. Timings at all the stopping points and info about toilets etc was given prior to leaving the bus, all and all a fantastic way to see around LA. Definitely recommend this trip.
So much fun traveling to the sites today! So much to see and lots to learn about LA. Our guide Jeff was very informative and quizzed us along the way. Great fun!
My daughter and I had a very wonderful experience touring LA with George, our very knowledgeable tour guide, and area aficionado.He gave us so much information, as we moved throughout the city. I would highly recommend "A Day in LA Tours," and don't forget to ask for George.
John was our tour guide for the day. He is very knowledgeable. He provided lots of background on the sites and various celebrities and shared a number of stories about the early days in LA. Very informative. Highly recommend!
Perfect to go to all the popular spots in one single day with time to walk around and take pictures on every stop!! (Walk of Fame, Griffith Observatory, Hollywood sign, Beverly Hills, The Grove, Farmers Market, Venice Beach, Santa Monica) Really recommend it, they even pick you up at the hotels you’re staying and even in Anaheim. it's worth it and very entertaining with comfortable buses and free waters!
The Day in LA tour was by far one of the best tours I've ever done while traveling. I surprised my mom with a trip to LA and I knew all the places I wanted us to go but couldn't figure out how we would make it to all of them on our own in one trip so I started researching tours and this was the top rated one! When calling to schedule the tour, the process was simple and secure. After booking, text messages were received to keep me abreast of what was to come. I was called about 10 minutes before pickup to inform me that the shuttle would be at my hotel soon (in about 5 minutes) and what to look for and where to be located. There is a shuttle that picks you up and takes you to a central location in Santa Monica where you are then split into groups and assigned to your tour bus (shuttle) for the day. As soon as we got on Raul's bus I knew we were in for a treat! Raul is personable, knowledgeable, funny and to top it off he's a great driver. He provided so much valuable information as we navigated from one municipality to another. Giving us history nuggets and small nuances that may not be widely known, but also seamlessly ending his short speeches before arriving at our next destination is a skill that he has certainly honed and perfected! He never had us feeling like he was talking too much or waiting for him to be quiet. He let us know when he would finish, that he would resume speaking when we arrived at our next point. He communicated clearly and effectively about where we were, what we had available to do or see at each attraction, how much time we had and when and where to meet back at the bus. The tour itself LITERALLY hits all the best parts of LA in a fun filled 9 hour day while taking the pressure off of having to navigate through such a vast area on your own (it would be impossible to do anyway)! Totally professional company, awesome service and well worth every cent! THANK YOU Raul and A Day in LA Tours for a magnificent experience!
This was the highlight of our trip to SOCAL.The employees were friendly, the van was fantastic and the locations we visited were timed perfectly.I would highly recommend this company and tour.
The sightseeing tour was amazing to us as this was my wife and I 2nd time coming to Los Angeles, and the first time seeing some of the areas we would have never seen. From the Santa Monica Pier to the Farmers Market and Griffin Park. Our tour guide Joe was very knowledgeable and talked throughout the drive, giving us the skinny on various areas of Los Angeles we stopped our either passed by. We also stopped on Rodeo Drive and Sunset Blvd to take in the sights. There was time to shop for about 1.5 hours, and many opportunities to grab a bite to eat and/or take pictures. The price of this tour was worth it, and I would recommend it to any 1st or 2nd time visitors to the area. 7.5 hours of entertainment and fun!
Had great fun !! Joe was extremely informed and a confident and capable driver. Micheal that initially picked us up a LaLa land to take us to where the tour begins, was lots of fun and full of positive energy . Would definitely do this again !!!!
The LA tour was very interesting for a first time visit, I took the full day LA tour, driven by a knowledgeable guide in a comfortable small AC shuttle. We had time for bathroom on each stop. I specially loved the freedom to walk around at every sight. It was orderly organized.
We took this tour on Friday, October 25 and really enjoyed the experience. Colin was our tour guide and very informative. We felt there was plenty of time given for each stop to explore. We chose the option to be picked up and dropped off at our hotel. Thanks for the memories!!
It was amazing the number of different neighborhoods/areas of Los Angeles that we visited. Raul was a wealth of knowledge about history of the areas, homes, people and events of the areas. Farmer's Market for lunch was awesome.
Great experience with A Day in LA Tours. The coach was immaculate. Our tour guide Jeanette was super knowledgable, funny, and was an amazing driver. 10/10
I had a great time today. Steve our tour guide took great concern for our comfort and helping us to get back if we got lost. I saw many points of interest and he had great recommendations. I'd highly recommend them for your tour!
Unforgettable LA Tour with an Amazing Team!My family and I had an exceptional time with A Day in LA Tours. It was the perfect way to see some of LA’s iconic locations in just one day! We explored Santa Monica, Venice Beach, The Farmers Market, Beverly Hills, the Hollywood Sign at Griffith Observatory, and wrapped it up with the Hollywood Walk of Fame.Special shoutout to Alex, Jerry, Michael, and the entire crew—these guys are fantastic! They’re knowledgeable, friendly, and really made us feel like we were in safe hands throughout the day. The whole team was easygoing, and the amenities on the bus were top-notch (charging ports and bottled water were a plus). It’s truly a hassle-free way to experience LA.The experience was memorable, and I can’t wait to sign up for more trips with them in the future. If you’re in LA, this is a must-do—A Day in LA provides a true taste of America. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city!
Glad that have chosen “A day in LA Tours”I should say it was a AAA day in L.A.,the bus driver was punctual, very communicative, organized. I was able to see the key area I had noted and plenty of time to browse on your own.Friendly staff, returned phone calls and messages during the booking time.They understand business and customer services:)Thank you for making my get away, a successful journey!
Excellent tour. Steven gave a lot of the history of Los Angeles while we were at each of the sites. He was on time and gave ample time for everyone at each site. This was a great experience for my 2 family members who are not native Angelinos.
We took the 7.5 tour from A Day in LA Tours and had a wonderful time! We got to hit many highlights and points of interest without the hassle of finding directions and parking spots. Our driver was knowledgeable and friendly and provided lots of info during the day. We greatly enjoyed the experience and highly recommend the tour.
Great tour to see all the iconic places of LA in a single day! We got lots of interesting information and inside stories about LA. At each stop, we also had time to explore the area ourselves and to take some souvenir pictures. Overall a tour for lots of nice memories!
I’m a first timer to LA for business and had one free day. I’m so glad I spent it this way! I met a new friend and the tour guide was so funny. We saw literally everything I wanted to see and so much more! Don’t hesitate to sign up.
This tour was a 10! We couldn’t have done that much ourselves in 3 days. The tour guide was extremely informative, very knowledgeable. It couldn’t have been better!
I went on a tour with my sister from Japan. Mr. Jeff was our driver and tour guide, and he was a really nice guy. He gave us lots of explanations about tourist attractions, and thanks to him we had a fun day.You can travel around famous sightseeing spots in a clean bus.Although you need to be able to understand the minimum level of English (what time to meet, etc.), I recommend this tour because it was cheaper than other companies' tours held in Japanese ^^You can also get water on the train! !
Great tour of LA experience! We were fortunate to ride a luxury vehicle wirh the most comfortable seating. Joe is the best tour guide/ driver . So knowledgeable providing us valuable information on all the iconic spots of LA. We were given ample time to look around and take pictures .I would definitely recommend this tour!
The tour was amazing. Our guide, Raul, was very knowledgeable of L.A. We visited so many great spots. I highly recommend this tour. You won't be disappointed.
We really enjoyed this full day tour. There was a lot we got to see and we loved how you had enough time to experience each stop but not so long you were bored. We felt like we got the full effect of LA today!
Definitely worth the money! Our host was JOE and he was funny and accommodating. Joe made everyone feel comfortable. My husband and I were able to do some sightseeing. these memories will last forever :) thank You!
Steven our tour guide was very knowledgeable and a fun tour guide. My dad needed a wheelchair and it was seamless to transfer him to the chair so we all could enjoy the activities and see all the sights.
What a great way to see a lot in one day! Loved that we didn’t have to navigate traffic or parking. Just hop off the bus & enjoy. Raul was an attentive, interesting & strategic tour guide. I highly recommend this tour.
George was a great tour guide, very accommodating! The tour was very informative and he took you to the “LA” sights. There was no rush at any of the stops! Would highly recommend this tour! Also they came directly to our hotel and picked us up in Anaheim, made it so easy!!
We chose them because of the rating, and maybe we had higher expectations.Pros:1. You see pretty much every touristy spot in LA in 8 hours2. The busses are modern3. Mike (I guess was his name) was a very positive and good vibe dude. Loved it. Too bad we didn't have the tour with him.4. Complementary water providedCons:1. It's not a guided tour. It's fairly similar to hop-on hop-off's as experience.2. The "tours" feel very rushed. For example:- In Venice Beach, you have to choose what you want to see. The canals or the Boardwalk or Gold'sGym. Can't do all in the time provided.- At the market, the same. If you take lunch, there is your time. You have no time remaining to stroll or see other things.3. John was mumbling very much, and it was really hard to follow what he said at all times.For parties of 2 or larger, I guess taking Uber/Lyft to all the spots would be cheaper than paying for this tour.I guess for parties of 4, there are far better solutions.In conclusion, I'm disappointed for the money spent, and I would definitely not recommend it and would not do it again.
Amazing tour! Joe really knows the area and enjoyed listening to him as you drive through the streets. The tour was well paced and the day flew by. Loved how the music matched where you were! Great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.
Fabulous tour thoroughly enjoyed by all 6 of us. Monty was an amazing guide, knowledgeable and very entertaining.Extremely worth the money and would recommend to all coming to LA.Thank you
A perfect way to see the highlights of LA. Soooo much better than Hop on / Hop off option. Stephen was a brilliant guide having lived in LA all his life. Totally recommend this tour.
Tour was great! Plenty of time to get off and walk around. Michael was a very fun start to the day and Steven was an incredible tour guide and very knowledgeable. Would recommend!
Our tour guide, Joe was amazing! He’s a wealth of knowledge and entertaining. This was a great way to see all the big tourist spots with some time to wander around. Highly recommend. To note: have cash for tipping as they do not take cards.
We really enjoyed the information our guide gave us during the tour. The ride was comfortable and water was provided. Having time to explore at every stop was truly a bonus. We had a great time!
Our driver Raul was an excellent guide for the day and made our trip around Los Angeles even better.I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a taste of Los Angeles.
A Day in LA Tour was perfect! We spent the whole day being driven around saw every single sight we wanted to see and George our driver explained everything and narrated so many good stories and historical events! George was a great host! I highly recommend this tour , you will not be disappointed. We loved it!
Hits up all the best places in LA. Sightseeing, beaches, shopping center, food, (etc). Our guide STEVEN was great and truly cared for each person on the ride Funny, informative, and knowledgeable are all the things I had hoped for the guide to be, and I was not disappointed!! Highly recommend for those looking for more than just a simple tour.
We have had an amazing day sight seeing around some of the best spots we have seen while being here. As an added bonus we also got to learn some local history and amazing facts.Jeff Virkus was a brilliant tour guide, friendly and funny.Thank you so much.
An absolutely incredible tour of LA all in one day. So helpful, especially when you're only in LA for a few days, so you can see all the famous sights with travel costs of ubers or taxis cut way down, just by booking this tour. Not only that, but Jeff — tour guide extraordinaire — shared anecdotes of meeting famous people, the history of all the landmarks he drove us to, along with quizzing us playfully on our knowledge of pop culture by popping in a song and asking us who the artist was or asking which famous film won a certain Oscar in a specific year. We were taken along the Sunset Strip to Santa Monica and Venice Beach, Rodeo Drive, the Grove (and Farmer's Market), the Griffith Observatory (saw the Hollywood sign on the way), Dolby Theater and the Walk of Fame, and much more that was shown while we were riding on the bus. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants a crash course on LA and the history of: California, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and more!
Fantastic tour and tour guide! Not only did George provide fun facts with a great sense of humor, he was extremely helpful with my husband getting on and off the bus, who is disabled. All the locations were fun to visit and we had to enjoy each.
Great tour with many great stops! Our guide Steven was awesome - so knowledgeable, helpful and funny. A perfect way to see many hot spots in and near LA! Highly recommend.
Great day tour!! Hit all the fun spots! Jeanette our tour guide was fabulous! Water was provided. Perfect amount of time at each spot. Great air conditioned tour bus. Lots of walking so bring comfy shoes. Tour was definitely worth the money! We would highly recommend! Take lots of pictures! Memories made-that’s what’s most important!
This tour take you to famous spots of LA.The tour guide gives you lots of information in LA. It is a smooth and great experience. You can save the time doing research and renting cars.
Joe was a fantastic guide he made the tour super fun and full of laughter. He blended his knowledge of LA, its history and fun facts effortlessly. The bus was super clean and the free water was a nice surprise. Highly recommend!
We saw so amazing paces and our tour guide Jeff was so knowledgeable! We would 100% recommend this to anyone! Every minute was worth an all day tour! Book this now!
Great and informative tour! You get to see and do a lot of activities all over LA. Each stop is around 45 min. Would be nice if the stops were around an hour each. But otherwise it was a great tour and would recommend it, especially if you only have one day in LA.
It was a fun trip- George, our tour guide was very accommodating and full of interesting facts about the places we visited. He made the whole trip enjoyable, i will definitely recommend this trip to everyone who wants to visit LA, Hollywood, Beverly Hills and nearby beaches!!
This was a great tour of LA. We had plenty of time to see each spot and Colin was an amazing guide. He was polite, courteous and full of information. I would highly recommend him as your guide.
I had an amazing experience with Steven from Viator. As a first-time visitor, I was thrilled with how much we were able to see in such a short time. Steven ensured that we covered a lot of ground, making the most of our trip. Although I would have appreciated at least 45 minutes at both beaches to fully take in the scenery, the overall experience was still fantastic. Steven’s punctuality and professionalism stood out, and the car was comfortable, with plenty of water bottles provided throughout the journey. I highly recommend Steven and Viator to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable travel experience.
Very good tour touching all the mist important sights in LA. Raul was a fantastic guide with a lot of knowledge to share. We were given enough time to enjoy the places visited. I highly recommend this tour.
Absolutely would recommend to anyone looking for a tour of LA, visited all of our bucket lost spots and the tour bus was comfortable, especially with the A/C in the heat. Our Tour Guide Jeff was awesome, very knowledgeable and made the day very entertaining.
We had a great tour with Raul this week. He actually spends time as an actor so was able to point out some really cool things about Hollywood, and also grew up in the area, so was very knowledgeable both about the sites and navigating Los Angeles traffic. He kept the tour on time, and allowed enough time at each stop to take in the important things.
Had such a great tour day! They picked us up and dropped us off at out hotel. Communicated very well through entire process. Our guide was informative and funny! Saw all the sights!
Stephen was very informative and actively talked to us all and of course is experience with living there and working allOf his life helped out tremendously.
Very prompt service and knowledgeable tour guide. This tour is well worth the money. You get to see various parts of LA and learn some interesting facts. I highly recommend this toir.
We took the tour yesterday and really enjoyed it. It really was a Day in LA. We hit all the iconic locations we wanted to see while travelling in an air conditioned, moderately sized bus with leather seats. Collin our tour guide was great and gave us a lot of good tips. We parked in the 1540 2nd street parking garage ($30) which was right across from the valet stand where the bus boards. The checkin is right in front of a tony shopping court and just 3 blocks from the Santa Monica pier. Even if you have more time than a day (which is all we had) to spend in LA, it’s worth it.
We had a great day with Monty. Super knowledgeable and great fun. We covered a lot of ground over a whole day and learnt so much, truly eye opening! We saw all the sights and ended with a drive around beverly hills homes - quite a few had a story behind them! We were a party of five but the car was great - luxurious and roomy. I can’t recommend this tour enough!
Our tour guide Key was awesome!! She was very knowledgeable about the areas we went to. She made us laugh as we saw how beautiful her state was. She showed us other places to visit while here. Amazing job!! We will definitely take another tour with this company and you should too.
George was a great tour guide, he was very personable and very informative. As a first time visitor to the area, the tour was perfect to get a glimpse of well known LA spots.
What an absolutely amazing tour!!! Our guide was AWESOME and had lived in LA all her life and so knew it like the back of her hand. It is THE tour to do if you want to see all of LA in a day.. The Strip, Beverley Hills, Santa Monica, Venice Beach, Rodeo Drive, Melrose, Fox Studios, Paramount Pictures, Downtown Hollywood at the Farners Market, Griffith park and the Hollywood Sign and the Walk of Fane! My boys (16&12) loved it too!
Great tour. Well with the money. We chose the Anaheim pickup as we are coming from San Diego. Parking was easy as there is a lot next the pickup location at Atwell Street.
If you're touring Los Angeles I highly recommend you give “A Day in LA Tours” your business! They did an awesome tour! The tour guide was very knowledgeable (born & raise in LA). From hotel pickup to hotel drop off, the whole day was very well coordinated! Thank you A Day in LA Tours for an awesome day in LA!!
Jeannette was our driver. She was funny, knowlegable, caring, and I enjoyed her conversation. I would definitely take the tour again. Every stop had something to offer.
Great trip ! Great tour guide George .Pick up from from the hotel , visited Crypto Arena , Griffith Observatory, Walk of Fame , Beverly Hills , Farmers Market, Santa Monica and Venice Beach
Had a great time. Our Tour Guide Janette is Excellent - she provided historical and interesting info and facts on all the attractions we visited. She also has a great sense of humor. Enjoyed seeing Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica Pier, Venice Beach and more.
The ideal tour for us. We did this on the first day in LA because we didn't want to drive ourselves with jet lag. Driven to all important sights. Of course you only ever have short stays at the stations, but it was enough for us. We were picked up directly at the hotel and brought back again. We can only recommend the tour...
The day started off well, went well and ended well. Our tour guide/driver was on time, polite and professional. Jeanette is very knowledgeable and full of information regarding every place we visited. It was easy to realize that she is well versed in history and current eventsI can't imagine any other way to see and learn so much in one day on my own. It was a real joy to not worry about driving in L.A. traffic and dealing with parking. I sincerely think it is worth doing and highly recommend travelers to the L.A. area doing this. "A great day."
Had great tour, we received a text with pick up details the evening before and was collected on time the following morning from our hotel. From start to finish, our guide, Colin was excellent with facts and stories entertaining us along the way. This tour covers all the key points in LA that we wanted to see and made it a whole lot easier as we didn’t realise how spread out the stops were. Highly recommend this tour! Thanks
This is everything my family would have wanted to have seen on our own. But I didn’t have to hassle driving the car around in traffic and missing all the cool sites. I didn’t have to hassle with finding public parking. I just got to sit back and relax and enjoy this amazing experience with my wife and 3 kids. Plus the people we interacted with were fantastic. Michael picked us up at our hotel and couldn’t have been kinder, even with the terrible construction out front of the Hilton. And Key was our knowledgeable and friendly tour guide for the day. Our whole family was thankful for this tour as we were trying to see all the sites in a short time. I will definitely recommend this to any of my friends or family visiting Los Angeles!
Key was definitely the best tourist guide ever she was very knowledgeable about the history and culture at every place we stop during our “One day in LA Tour”I highly recommend to family, friends and colleagues!
We spent the day with Rahul, who was so knowledgeable about all of LA, he passed on so much history so even when we couldn’t stop, we knew the local story. You don’t get ages to roam about each place but… to do it in a day is absolutely perfect. We would never have seen so much without this. Memories for a lifetime. Thank you!!! X
Where should I start??? First of all they tell you to be at the meeting place at a certain time, you get there and the tour bus WAS LATE. MY party was the first to arrive, and did that matter? The bus driver called larger parties to board FIRST! If this is to be the case, they should've STATED that when I booked! Their boarding policies are PATHETIC!!
Great way to visit all the popular places in LA, with a driver who knows all the detours when there are closed roads!In the evening it's a bit long to get back because of the traffic but at least you don't have to drive so that's great! Our driver George was very enthusiastic and really knew a lot about LA and its surroundings, I recommend him!
We are a family of 6 (3A + 3C) and booked a "Day in LA - Private Tour". Our guide was Monty who picked us up directly from our hotel at the appointed time. The car was spacious and he had almost unlimited water that he provided to us through the day.As it was a private tour we were able to customize places we visited, but left it to Monty's guidance. We visited Santa Monica pier, Hollywood Hills (houses of celebrities), Venice Beach, Studios, Griffith Observatory, Walk of Fame etc etc. In certain places we were dropped off and had the flexibility to discover the area in our own pace.In each location the guide was able to provide quite a bit of history and context and other interesting facts. He also tailored the topic to cater to my kids (including the little ones). Moreover, he was knowledgeable enough to answer any additional questions we had and provide more information.Monty also shared tips and recommendations for restaurants and other locations we should visit while in LA. He was a great guide and host and would highly recommend this tour to anyone else visiting LA.
Great tour! I’ve been to LA numerous times, but never to Santa Monica, Venice Beach, or Griffith Park, and really enjoyed seeing them. I learned so much and enjoyed every minute. The tour guide, Key, was fabulous. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and look forward to visiting some of the places she told us about. Top tier tour!
What a terrific overview of the city. So many great selfies. Our guide Key was fun and super knowledgeable. Pickup and dropoff right at the hotel. What could be better! Highly recommend this tour!!!!!!
Our tour guy was great and was so informative of all the things we could possibly do, see or eat. The bus was air conditioned and roomy. We covered a lot of ground and anyone who hasn't been to LA this tour is a must. It gives you an idea of what you may want to explore more on your own.
We had a wonderful day. Best way to see all of the amazing things that LA/Hollywood have to offer. Never felt rushed. Never felt like we lingered too long in one place. Perfect.
Really good way to go around LA seeing the major sights. Tour guide/driver George was knowledgeable and entertaining. Trip was good value for money for a full day out. Highly recommended.

What a GREAT tour! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and took us to all the hot spots in LA that we didn't even know we wanted to see. Would definitely recommend!!
Had a great day with A day in LA tours today. Joe the driver and tour guide was amazing. His knowledge of the area and the history is very impressive. We hit all my bucket list places without having to worry about parking or directions. I would reccomend the full day tour, just make sure you wear comfortable shoes. We had a blast.
We loved our tour! Raul was our tour guide, he was helpful, knowledgeable, and just a a great guy. We got to see Santa Monica pier, Venice Beach, walk of fame, Griffith's observatory, Rodeo drive, plus so many other sights as we drove around LA that we wouldn't have seen otherwise...plus all the little facts and tidbits that Raul shared along the way. It was myself and 2 teenagers and we all had a good time. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Key was an amazing host and guide through Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Venice Beach and Santa Monica on our tour. She was very generous in sharing her local knowledge of the area.A fantastic personality, she was very funny with her anecdotes of the area. We felt like we parted as friends at the end of the day.Highly recommend this tour!
Our experience in LA was amazing! We only had one day to explore the city, but this tour was perfect for us as it allowed us to see all the iconic places. Our guide, Raul, was absolutely fantastic - he was very knowledgeable and a really nice guy. Although it was a long day, it was definitely worth it.
