          Sounded perfect as a tour
          Unfortunately the trip was cancelled due to lack of guests. But Brooke from Anaheim tried to reschedule for us in plenty of time. We were unable to do this as we have a busy Itinerary

          Best tour company
          Rick was absolutely amazing. Everyone in our group had a fantastic time, children included. There was a mix up in the address of our pick up location. I contacted Tom and let him know I had given him the wrong address and there were no issues with being picked up at the proper address 😊. I’d definitely take another tour in the future. I highly recommend this company.

          Awesome tour
          Had an amazing day from start to finish. Tom our driver was very good and looked after us every step of the way. Great beaches and boat trip was outstanding. Saw a minky whale, sealions and a nursery pod of dolphins. Surf comp at huntington beach also. Tom gave us all the good pointers on our trip, and even dropped you off where you wanted to go back in Anaheim. Thankyou

          This tour was exactly what we were looking for. Rick was our tour guide and he was knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. Just enough time was allowed for each spot. We were able to really see and enjoy each destination. The van was clean and comfortable. By taking this tour I didn’t have to worry about navigating through LA traffic I could just sit back, relax and enjoy the sights. Highly recommend!

          Warner brothers is fantastic
          Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the Warner brothers tour. There’s plenty of on site parking. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. There is a gift shop and a cafe. It’s part guided driven tour and part self guided walking tour. It’s a wonderful way to spend the day. Very very interesting

          Highlights of LA
          Hit the highlights of LA. Coliseum , Crypto Arena, Hollywood walk of fame, Dolby theatre , photo op for Hollywood sign , lunch at the farmers market, shopping on rodeo drive and stops at the beach . Traffic in and out of city was crazy but we knew that ahead of time. Tom was friendly , helpful and provided tips at each stop to get the most out of them. We needed a car seat for our granddaughter and it was installed and ready to go when we were picked up . If you want to see the highlights this is the tour

          Fantastic private tour for a family
          Our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids aged 12, 9 and 6) thoroughly enjoyed our private tour around LA (from Anaheim). Brooke our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and made sure our day worked well. From providing a booster seat for our 6 year old (without being asked), to knowing the right amount of time to spend at different places and what the kids would find enjoyable - Brooke went above and beyond. Would highly recommend to anyone travelling to LA with kids and who don't want the hassles that come with a big tour grip.

          Amazing company to deal with.
          We did two tours with Anaheim Tour Company. From booking and organising to actually doing the tours, the entire team was so helpful. They were quick to respond when i was looking to book the tours, easy to deal with and pick up times for the tours was spot on with the advised times. Brooke did both our tours and was excellent. Brooke was able to accomodate what we wanted to do on our private tour and even was able to take us through the drive through and In and Out Burger so we could try it for the first time. Would definitely use Anaheim Tour Company again if we ever make it back to LA.

          Whale-Watching TOur
          Driver was informative, friendly, and a great river overall. Made the experience memorable. The stops were great and gave enough time the only recommendation would to be a disclaimer that seeing whales is not guaranteed as we didn't see anything but the boat captain did work hard to find them. We did see dolphins, a sunfish, and sea lions though. I am sure many people came mostly to see the whales as that's the first description on the title.

          Amazing dolphins!
          Although just saw whale tails far away, we were thrilled to see the packs of dolphins. They are very friendly and seem welcoming us. It’s a wonderful experience.

          The Centre of the Universe show was truly superb.
          I am 69 years old. Two days prior to my visit to Griffith Observatory I had a near death trauma and the “Centre of the Universe” show in the glorious Planetarium was just superb and made me cry in the Planetarium and reflect. It was in part due to the excellent narrator who just made the show. The truly excellent technology of the Planetarium was outstanding. Nearly as good was Leonard Nimoy. I am an Architect and was amazed and inspired by the renovation and rebuild. My words don’t did the project justice.

          Worth doing!
          Tom was amazing! Picked us up from our hotel with interesting facts and great beachy tunes. Perfect mix of alone-time and guided moments. Took great pictures of us and gave great recommendations of what to explore on our stops. Saw dolphins and a minke whale.

          Private Tour was Fantastic
          My sister and 2 young adult daughters and I planned a girls trip to Disneyland, but wanted to start our trip by taking advantage of the chance to see more of the surrounding area. We booked a customized private tour, and Tom picked us up from the Long Beach airport and drove us to see sites including the Santa Monica Beach and Pier, Hollywood- including the Chinese Theater, and the iconic Hollywood sign, Beverly Hills, and the Griffin Observatory before delivering us to to drop the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim. We felt like we got to see a lot in the time we had, and Tom was an excellent guide. He was very calm and cool navigating the notorious Southern California traffic, making it stress-free and enjoyable for us. We enjoyed his stories and music. Would highly recommend!

        A perfectly planned and executed day. Our driver Brooke actually messaged us to say she would be about 5 minutes later than originally planned, such was the attention to detail! We visited Laguna Beach for around 40 minutes-just a photo stop- then on to Balboa Fun Zone for 3 hours. Brooke recommended the harbour trip and advised us how to get a discount on the tickets. She advised us on places to eat and even which restrooms were the nicest to use! She then picked us up and on to Huntington Beach for another 3 hours, again with recommendations on where to eat and things to do. On the drive between stops she was a wealth of local information. We will definitely recommend ATC to anyone

        We really enjoyed this day. Plenty of time at each beach . We took the boat ride at Newport Beach and saw some movie stars homes, sea lions, and parts where movies were made. Beautiful beaches at all three stops. Tom was our tour guide and knew so much besides stopping to take pictures of everyone at scenic spots. Highly recommend.

        The tour was really quite wonderful. I enjoyed it tremendously. Going to three beach communities that are fairly close together is a great way to experience Southern California beaches without too much driving. Our guide, Tom, was congenial and knowledgeable but I could have done without the social commentary at the beginning. I think it's the right amount of time at each place.

        Rated as #1 as the trip was cancelled at the last minute due to low registration. However, the tour company graciously offered us spots on a Hollywood Tour at a reduced rate. Great tour with Tom our driver who was fantastic, The best tour driver ever! I believe we lucked out with our cancellation although it was a bit frustrating until Brooke snd Tom came to our rescue.

        Gorgeous day in the sun to recover from being in the Disney bubble. Well organised tour and the perfect way to experience the Orange County beaches. Visiting Balboa Island was a highlight but actually each stop was excellent. Thanks Brooke for the great day!

        Tom is quite amazing and oh so helpful! I called the contact number for Anaheim Tour Company on a late afternoon and Tom answered immediately and in a very helpful tone. He could have ignored my call being that late in the afternoon but he chose to answer and take his time to help me. My friend and I were interested in their Best Beaches in Orange County Tour and unfortunately they were already completely booked for the day we wanted to go. We were very disappointed because it was our last day to explore. Tom could have just stopped there and let me go and tell me sorry better luck next time. But no, Tom then proceeded to help me, while over the phone, to plan my own tour to do on my own. He was so nice and so helpful! I truly appreciate him taking his time to walk me through how to plan my day to truly enjoy our last day while exploring Orange County. We had such a great day! Very memorable and all thanks to Tom. He is truly wonderful at his job and that is why this tour company is so successful! Thank you Tom 🙏🏼🙌🏻🤩

        My friends and I booked a five day trip to Anaheim and Los Angeles, we were on a student budget and wanted the opportunity to see as much of beautiful California as possible. That is when we came across the Anaheim Touring Company. It was in our price range and allowed us to achieve three beaches in one day (Laguna, Newport, and Huntington).

        We were picked up from our hotel by Tom, he was the most amazing tour guide we have ever experienced. Tom showed us the hidden gems of the beaches as well as gave a personal explanation of the significance of each spot we visited. Tom even took the time to show us great restaurants and take pictures of the three of us. We were never disappointed with the restaurants he recommended or the amount of time we had in each location.

        As three young ladies traveling alone for the first time, Tom took great care of us and made sure we felt safe. He even took the time to give us advice on our next destination Los Angeles.

        Although we thought we would never see our beloved Tom again, we ran into him at the Hollywood sign doing another tour (with my friends' missing sunglasses).

        Thank you, thank you, thank you Tom and the wonderful Anaheim Touring Company. You were the highlight of our trip and the memories we made will last forever. Sending hugs.

        Love,

        The Canadian Cali Girls

        This was just such a miraculous thing to me! You took our tour from Anaheim and I was your driver - went to our OC Beaches and then you were leaving that night to go to Hollywood and stay there. For three lovely girls travelling together, that's scary (at least to an old guy like me) and you are definitely a brave and adventuresome group! So, I gave you some advice and we said our goodbyes. Two days later, I'm doing a tour and had lunch at In-n-Out Burger next to the hotel where you were staying and thought of you three - hoping it was a good experience in LA. Even thought I should try to reach you since our next stop was Griffith Observatory on our Space and Hollywood Tour but I knew you were doing an Off and On Tour so I didn't try. On the way up to that stop, the guest sitting behind me said "somebody dropped their sunglasses" and gave them to me. After getting the guests squared away at the Observatory with their tickets, I sat in the tour van that I used on your tour and again, two days later on this tour. After about an hour, I hear someone yelling my name and see you hanging out of your Uber having just passed me where I was parked!! I was so pleased you came back after being dropped and I got to see you all again and that we got a selfie!! And I was even MORE pleased when you said "did anyone find some sunglasses because my family is going to give me a hard time" !!! That was a miracle - honestly. How we'd bump into each other in a town of 4 million people is just simply a miracle and the chance that those sunglasses were yours... just amazing. So, thank you Canadian Cali Girls!!! (I was stunned when I first read the headline because it looked like "Canadian Call Girls".... really made me chuckle.) It was a real pleasure to have you and to share those amazing coincidences! Sending hugs and love back. Your Friend in Anaheim, Tom

        Rick was amazing. Tom, the owner, knew what he was doing when he assigned Rick as our tour guide. We checked out dozens of potential tour companies and the family-owned company sounded like our best fit and we were right!!! 27 tourists from small-town Ohio were treated like royalty thanks to Rick!!! Couldn’t recommend them any more highly - you canNOT go wrong with this group!!!

        We enjoyed this tour but were not ready for how crowded Huntington Beach was. By the end of the day, we were ready to head back to the hotel. Our tour guide, Rick, was really great. He pointed out and made many great suggestions. Ruby's Restaurant at the end of the Piers was fabulous!
