George is literally the funniest guide I’ve ever met – like, I wanna make him my uncle or something. We hit all the classic LA spots, and he had wild stories about almost every celeb house. My sister and I kept cracking up. The van was comfy, but bring snacks if ur always hungry (like me). Traffic was, uh, LA traffic – not George’s fault, but maybe go early if u hate waiting. Still, totally worth it for the laughs and pics!

Had my doubts about these tours but Talib made it suuuper fun. There was this moment when a random jogger waved at us and Talib joked it was a 'secret celeb' – still not sure if he was kidding. Loved the little stops for photos, and I finally saw the Hollywood sign up close! Bus was clean, AC worked (important). Bring sunglasses, the reflection off those fancy cars is BLINDING.

Went with my gf and another couple. Brian was our guide, and he legit knows every weird LA fact. I kinda wish there was more time at each stop, felt a bit rushed tbh, but maybe that’s just me. Weather was sunny but breezy so bring a light jacket. Saw Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, all that jazz. Would do again for sure, but next time gonna eat BEFORE the tour.
