The Ferrari trip and Kay were both great!! We were booked on another tour because we really wanted to see the Hollywood Sign up close (it was the only reason we booked the tour). There was miscommunication surrounding the time we needed to be there for the tour and it left without us. We worked it out with the tour operators and ended up paying extra to do the Ferrari tour. We got to see the sign and had a blast, so a frustrating situation turned into a great day. Thanks guys!

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 what I paid for says 45 minutes it should be 45 minutes not 15 minutes or less. Called customer service and they said they’d call me back with my options and yet I’m still waiting for a return call. The pilots were great and even though the experience was very short lived it was memorable for my wife’s and I anniversary, however, I’m sure it would of been even more spectacular to actually get to experience the whole tour!

I joind the Venice Beach Walking Tour full of anticipation of seeing some beautiful canals à la Italy but when I had learnt that the main canals were turned into roads many years ago and those remaining are only 5ft deep, the tour quickly lost its romantic appeal and I left the tour after perhaps 30 mins at the most. The host was pleasant and interesting but the subject wasn’t.
