Loved the tour. Loved our tour guide more. - It was our first time in LA, and we wanted to explore iconic places differently, we booked a hiking tour on 2 October 2024 @10AM. Our tour guide was on time, and she was the best! Very charismatic, athletic and very smart! It was quite amazing the wealth of knowledge she has of the area and the places to be. We had so much fun during our hike amid the sweltering 26C temperature. We will definitely book for another tour with this team the moment we head back to LA.

Great Tour with Michael - We had an incredible experience exploring Griffith Park with our amazing guide, Michael. In just two hours, we got to see stunning views of the Hollywood Sign, Downtown LA, the San Fernando Valley, and of course the iconic Griffith Observatory. Michael made every stop special with fascinating trivia and a perfect mix of historical and cinematic facts — which I especially appreciated as a big movie fan! His energy and knowledge really made the tour unforgettable. If you’re in LA, don’t miss this — it was absolutely worth it!

Sooooo worth it! - I can’t say enough good things about our tour with Mark. It was perfect and the best money spent on our trip to LA (and the best value!!). Even his post rec of shawarma on the Hollywood walk of fame (sincerely shwarma) was amazing!!! Thank you!

Perfect Day for Griffith Observatory Hike - Had the best time hiking around Griffith Park to the Observatory on this tour! Guide Noelle was informative, funny, kind, and inquisitive. Felt like I had been hiking with an old friend by the time the tour ended. The views and nature were beautiful. I had planned to wing it on a solo hike, but I'm glad I went with this tour.

AMAZING VIEWS! - This was an amazing tour! This is my second time doing it and Ahmed definitely enhanced the experience. He was very personable, knowledgeable, and shared some good jokes too. I am definitely recommending this tour and hopefully they can get Ahmed as their tour guide!
