From start to finish this was a excellent tour! Great way to see LA. Our guide Alicia( not sure spelling ) was knowledgeable, very chatty, friendly, funny, not a scary driver, polite, warned us of things to do and not do, offered suggestions and just knew her stuff. They are very organized and allow for plenty of time at each stop! They take you to the farmers market which had wonderful places to get food and dessert! They have super clean vans with outlets for phone chargers and good ac! They also give you water bottles. They take you to every place you can think of and then some. It really is a great way to spend the day! Riots were supposed to happen while we were in town and so as we were coming up on what looked to be maybe some gatherings ( she wasn’t for sure that was a riot or not) she steered cleared of it and went another direction And continued telling random info she knew from growing up in LA! Highly recommend this tour but make sure you don’t have concrete plans for right after as it may run over due to traffic or un foreseen issues. Also they have a tip suggestion sign inside the van, 20(awesome), 15( excellent), 10(good) ( my wording may be wrong but amounts are correct) this is a per passenger suggestion, so basically if you had 3 in your group it would be 60.00 for a tip for awesome..... at first I was like great tips are gonna be pushed at the end but NOPE the sign was never brought up so it isn’t forced however it is deserved. These tour guides spend all day telling you facts and showing you all the good stuff while keeping you entertained, make sure you bring cash and tip your tour guide!

highly recommended especially for first timers in LA with kids and elderly. we got to see the iconic LA spots in one day not worrying about driving through heavy traffic or paying parking fees for each stop. we just sat back, relaxed, enjoyed and dozed off from exhaustion. thanks to our awesome guide Lenny who tried to keep us entertained and brought us all back to our hotels safe. the bus was clean and offered free bottled water. communication was great as well with reminders and timely replies to queries. i booked the tour for a hassle-free trip and they very well delivered. will definitely book with these guys again on our next LA trip.

This was an amazing tour. The tourists we had was so well informative of her city Los Angeles. She was a joy to listen to throughout the entire tour. The price was very reasonable for the amount of places you get to go to on this tour. We were tired at the end of the day due to the length of the tour and all the walking we did. However, it is definitely a tour worth doing while in LA. I will definitely do this tour again in the future.

I grew up in Whittier but have been gone for over 45 years. Came back for a high school reunion and decided to do a tour of the area as my husband had never visited the area for leisure before. Chose the Day in LA tour as it included so many top spots in LA. The tour guide Joe was a local and was very knowledgeable about the area. I would highly recommend the tour for those that want to visit as many spots as possible with someone who knows the area so well.

A great way to see all the big LA sights for tourists! Pick up is early (7:30), but you cover a lot of ground and will be home by 5-6 PM, depending on traffic. Our driver+guide (Lenny) provided us with cold bottled water and a coupon for a free gift at one of the shops we stopped by. A heads up, the first stop is at least 2 hours after you’re picked up and there’s no bathroom on the bus. We loved every stop! We did wish we got a little more time at places like Santa Monica, Rodeo and the Hollywood Walk of Fame, so we could have covered more ground without needing to rush back to the bus. But Lenny was very informative and had the whole group cracking up the entire bus tour! If you want to see the Hollywood sign, see stars on the Walk of Fame, a beautiful California beach, and get food at an upscale mall in California - this is definitely the tour for you! It’s nice to not have to rent a car and navigate LA’s horrible traffic on your own. Very worth the cost!

Very long day. Pick up point easy to find with parking next door. good trip and a good way to pack in LA in one day. Minibus was comfy and guide was good albeit spoke so fast couldn’t understand him. There were alot of stops, some of which didnt need the amount of stop time, and some of which needed more. The lunch stop was too short whilst Rodeo Drive was way too long.
Got back at 6 - very long day.

This was the highlight of our short 4 day stay in Santa Monica. We definitely enjoyed walking to the Pier and surrounding areas daily, but we wanted to see the highlights of LA as well.
Eight people on our party booked this tour and we couldn’t have been more happy that we did! We covered so much ground in a short period of time. Sure, we wanted to hang out on Rodeo Drive a little longer or stroll Hollywood Blvd more, but it’s a way to experience many places in about 8 hours.
Alecia was knowledgeable, kind, professional & hilarious!! We enjoyed the other parties on the bus as well. This is a plus since you never know who’s gonna be on a tour with you. We saw our tour “friends” later at dinner and we were very cordial and chatted a bit more.
My son was celebrating his 13th birthday (purpose of our Cali visit). When Alecia found out, she led the bus in singing Happy Birthday to him. She always played a song for him before dropping us off at our hotel. Talk about making the tour extra special! She even remembered my brother’s name. Maybe not a big deal to some, but it was to us.
Alecia gave detailed and easy to follow directions each time before we explored a new area (where she’d be, how to remember where to meet up, public restrooms &WiFi, what to do if we encountered a celebrity).
Santa Monica Pier, Venice Beach, Beverly Hills (Rodeo Drive), Farmer’s Market Griffith Observatory, Hollywood, and more!
The bus was very nice! Clean, air conditioned and phone/device charging capabilities!!
Thank you, Alecia!!!

If you’ve never been to LA, this is a great tour. We called it an attraction sampler. They took you to the ones you’ve always heard of. Only bummer with this style of tour is you wish you had more time at the ones you liked and couldn’t wait to leave the ones you didn’t. Unfortunately we didn’t have the time to go back to the ones we liked on our own to explore more.
We were so disappointed in Venice beach and Hollywood Boulevard after a lifetime of hearing and seeing them from afar. Nothing like we expected but this has nothing to do with the tour. Our guide actually told us about the tourist trap pitfalls to watch out for at these two places
All and all this was a great way to see all the attractions with a great company, with nice buses and organized employees. They picked us up at our hotel in Universal City and paid Uber to take us back at the end of the day.

My husband and I came to California to see the Tournament of Roses Parade. Our tour guide, Chris, was exceptional! His knowledge he shared with our group was wonderful! He told lots of very interesting stories and made the experience memorable! I would definitely recommend using Chris as MUST when in the LA area

Pick up and drop off all went smoothly although a little late we were kept up to date via mobile. Our tour guide KEY was excellent. Very informative throughout the tour. Great sense of humour. Nothing too much trouble.

Hello,
Some residents of Orange County are indicating we should stay away for LA due to the crime and homeless concerns. Is this the case in the areas the tour goes?
Written 19 September 2022
Not at all. As in any big city I’d advise being watchful but I never felt in any sort of danger at any point. To be honest I stayed in downtown LA, where there are a lot of homeless people but I was never bothered by anyone, I found they tend to just keep to themselves as long as you leave them be.

Hi, there's 8 of us looking to possibly book your 'Full Day Iconic Sights Tour' for the end of the month and was wondering if you do pick-up/drop off from the Torrance Marriott Redondo Beach hotel? Thank You!!

This company is great and we really enjoyed our tour with them. This site is more for reviews but if you contact a day in LA Tours directly they are great at responding to questions and if you make a mock booking all their pick up locations are shown. Hope that helps you.
