I hate to write negative things regarding anyones places of business HOWEVER, this company has treated me so horribly that I felt it only right to warn people!! DO NOT BOOK WITH THEM!! The level of unprofessionalism they have displayed is astonishing. My company booked 3 helicopters to leave from the Los Angeles area to take guest to Santa Barbara for a private event. The private LAUNCH of my company in fact, so you can imagine the importance of the day. On the morning of my event my guest began to arrive at the private airport, and only at that very moment were we told that they only had 2 helicopters available!! They gave us NO forewarning. NEVER called before hand to notify us.. And had ZERO resolution. So, as a result 1/3 of my guest had to stay behind, alone, on the tarmac waiting for one of the helicopter to go and come all the way back for them. It took over an HOUR!!! A few of my guest even went home as a result of the inconvenienced to their time.. and my ENTIRE DAY was ruined. AND TO MAKE IT WORSE... They offered me next to nothing as a means of restitution for their gross oversight. To this day I still have yet to receive any type of refund. They cost me thousands of dollars in damages and refuse to make right their wrong. It's truly sad how they handled this whole situation. BE WARNED! DO NOT TURST!

Great way to learn about Fort Lauderdale. I live here but had a friend visiting and it was fun for both of us. This would be great for a group of friends, coworkers, or bachelorette party. The remote adventure coach, Katie, was great- helpful when needed!!

This was truly one of the most memorable activities we will always remember! We did the tour of Griffith Park, Old LA Zoo, Gene Autry Museum, and drive by of the Warner Bros and Disney Corporate buildings. I work with Disney and learned facts I never knew about and even had an amazing business epiphany while at the carousel where Walt Disney came up with the idea of a theme park called Disneyland! Thank you Sunny Day Scoot for making my daughter and girlfriend have an amazing time! We would love to do a private tour in the future! Highly recommend and worth every penny! A must do activity!!

We had the best day with Harris as our private tour guide. We hit 8 cities in 7 hours. I would not want to miss any parts of the ride. You see the hot spots but also the average living areas. I highly recommend the electric bike.

The bus tour was underwhelming. Circled movie sets and workshops. Not until we entered the museum did we think the trip was worth the cost. Interactive displays, photo/video opportunities on actual TV or movie sets, costumes, writer’s notes and interviews all made it worth while.

Highly recommended since we saved more than $200 each person!!! Planning ahead is the key. Highly dependent also to how cooperative your group members are (we’re a family of 3, with 12-yr old). Depending on what experiences you prefer, a 3day itinerary should be the minimum to experience most of LA. Put together those locations close to each other to save on travel time. Check each website to know more about each attraction (you dont want to go there only to find out that it’s closed for the day due to a special event). Because of our awesome experience, we’ll always consider the GO cards when we visit other states!

I did not actually take their shuttle. This is a review of their website and support. I booked a pick up at LAX for late night Monday, 15 July 2019. During the payment process that all showed correctly. After paying, the pick up showed as scheduled for midnight on 10 January 1970. I immediately called their support line as shown on the webpage. Their support line DID answer. That would be a point in their favor except the guy on the phone was so bad. I (admittedly was upset but not at all abusive) explained the issue. He told me it was MY fault that I had entered it wrong because the screen just takes whatever I entered. WTF?!?! Even if I did it wrong, why accuse the victim instead of addressing the issue?!?!? I called him a liar because that historical date was not even an option! He said he would cancel the reservation so I read him the code. I asked how I would receive cancellation confirmation and he just hung up. He did NOT cancel it. LIAR! Later I cancelled it from the webpage.
