February 6, 2022 Augustus Redeker

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.

We absolutely loved and enjoyed our tour of Beverly Hills on Friday! Dan, our tour guide, made it spectacular! We probably saw 50 stars homes! He was so knowledgeable and so funny, we felt like stars being driven around in a nice black SUV! We came all the way from Utah to see the city and for this tour and are beyond pleased! Also saw amazing views of LA from the hills! Was such a perfect day! Definitely recommended this tour company and ask for Dan! Well worth the money!!

Had a fun, relaxing, and informative tour of the beaches and Hollywood areas. Arman was a great tour guide. We went to all the areas highlighted in the booking information. It was a last minute decision to take this tour and we are so glad Arman could accommodate us. Recommend this tour if you want to see Marina del Rey, Venice, Malibu and Sunset Blvd to Hollywood and don’t want the hassle of driving yourself!
