Fun hike up the hill - Enjoyable hike up the hill to the Griffith observatory. Harder than I thought it would be since the hill is pretty steep. But I was able to keep up & so was my 13-year old son. Took about 2 hours & was about 4 miles. Views were good but it was very foggy that day. You may want to check the weather before booking. Was a small group & our tour guide took good care of us. Bring water. We didn’t bother going into the observatory because it had a long line, the weather was foggy so the telescopes wouldn’t see much & we were exhausted.

One of the best hikes, aided by the top tour guide - Noelle is the best tour guide I’ve had in as long as I can remember. She was knowledgeable, kind, and very helpful. Her things to do and restaurants guide is a highly coveted map for the best places to visit around LA. Ask for her by name!

The perfect guide with a wonderful trail - We absolutely loved the tour, but most of all our guide was splendid! Noel made the trail so cheerful and jolly with the best stories, facts, and hilarious jokes. To be very honest, I didn’t want to come on the trail, my Mom dragged me along, but I ended up having a wonderful time thanks to our guide! Noel is a wonderful person and you would ALWAYS be delighted to enjoy her company. Her stories are for every age, and her jokes set you into a joyful mood! Overall we loved the trail and our guide was the best.
