A must do tour of LA - This tour was one of the highlights of my trip to LA. I was lucky to be able to do this tour with just the tour guide Paul, who shared many insights into the history of LA as well as LA culture. If you want to see and experience LA through the eyes of someone living in LA this tour is a must. I would do this tour again next time I'm in LA.

Hiking - I had a great time with my tour guide, Paul. He provided so much insight about the places we visited (Los Feliz, the Hollywood Sign and the Observatory). And it was wonderful talking to him.

Wealth of knowledge - Gregory has a wealth of knowledge that he freely shares. He is very studied in LA history and all of the sights. He also leads other tours that contribute to his complete understanding.

Hiking + Storytelling in Griffith Park - Paul was a great tour guide and told my husband and I many stories about Griffith Park and Hollywood as we were hiking up a path towards the Griffith Park Observatory. At the outset, we heard all about Griffith Griffith, his horrible temper and the violent accusations he made towards his young wife. Later in his life, he became a benefactor to Los Angeles when he left his immense 30+ acre property to the city upon his death, with plans to build an observatory and planetarium for the people. Paul made the history of the area come to life. He was an amazing storyteller! The only reason I didn’t rate this tour a 5 was because one member of our little group decided after some distance that she could not continue. This necessitated a pause in the pacing of our hike, so she could return to our starting place and take a tram to the Planetarium rather than walk. But Paul made the best of it and we resumed our hike to see a home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, a quaint Witch House, a murder house, views of celebrity homes. Being an actor as well as a tour guide, made Paul’s stories all the more interesting. This hike was definitely one of the highlights of our week in Los Angeles and I would recommend it to others.
