Malibu (/ˈmælɪbuː/) is a beach city in western Los Angeles County, California, situated about 30 miles (48 km) west of Downtown Los Angeles. Known for its Mediterranean climate, a 21-mile (34 km) strip of the Malibu coast incorporated in 1991 into the City of Malibu. The area is known for being the home of Hollywood movie stars, people in the entertainment industry, and other affluent residents. Most Malibu residents live within a few hundred yards of Pacific Coast Highway (State Route 1), which traverses the city, with some residents living up to a mile away from the beach up narrow canyons. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 12,645.

We opted for a 3 hr private tour for our family of 4 + a toddler and it was a great decision! Kenneth was excellent in laying out all our options for a private tour and getting us quickly booked and set up to go. Darnell was a gracious host and showed us what we wanted to see while teaching us about this city. Great job!! Excellent customer service all around.

Chris was great! He had great information regarding the history of how the park came to be and we loved the walk through the great neighborhood too. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to know more about where they live and the history of it.
