Great Tour 😊

Passenger48391462617, Jun 2026

Taking a tour with Dave was the best way we could've ended our vacation. The van was spacious, and, after days of walking in the heat, the AC was heavenly. A stop at the Farmer's Market wasn't in the itinerary, but was well appreciated.

Great tour with Bing

Janet_C, Jun 2026

Bing was an amazing guide, we are so lucky to have her as the tour guide, very knowledgeable and many local stories. It’s an amazing 5 hours tour of LA for us as first timer

Not worth the time

gbeck517, Jun 2026

Disappointed. Wanted to show my friend visiting from out of town a fun afternoon. Staff was totally disengaged when booking. Never even put our names down after paying so had no idea we were part of ThR tour. Then guide made some some inappropriate comments related to the Pride festivities that day. I was unclear as to which house belonged to who, got whiplash from drvokg through the canyon so fast, and was barely able to catch glimpse of the Hollywood sign. Maybe it was a long day, hot weather, and tons of traffic from the parade - but definitely get like a waste of time and money for trying to do something fun with my out of town guest.

Best Small/ Personal LA Tour

william_W, May 2026

Our LA City Tour was in an 8-10 person air conditioned van and our Tour Guide Bing was fantastic! Her 40 yr personal insight into the history of LA and all of the major landmarks and their changes over the years made this tour superior over other “canned” tours. We also really enjoyed being able to see many of the celebrity homes, learning about their current value, historical ownership and “The Juice”. So - we strongly recommend Bing and Guidline Tours over the other impersonal large or open truck tours!

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you so much, William, for your wonderful review, for calling this the “Best small/personal LA tour,” and especially for strongly recommending Bing and Guideline Tours. That means a great deal to us because this is exactly what Guideline Tours has worked so hard to provide for 38 years. We are especially happy that you felt the difference between a true Los Angeles city tour and a more “canned” or impersonal sightseeing experience. Our goal has always been to give guests a comfortable, small-group tour in an air-conditioned, climate-controlled, high-roof 8–10 passenger tour van, with real personal attention, meaningful storytelling, and time to understand the city — not just a quick drop-off and pickup at a few crowded stops. Bing’s decades of personal experience in Los Angeles, along with her knowledge of the city’s history, landmarks, celebrity homes, property values, historical ownership, changing neighborhoods, and “the juice,” are a big part of what makes the tour special. We are so glad that came through during your day with us. We also appreciate your comments comparing our tour to larger, more impersonal tours and open truck-style tours, or open van tours. Especially during the warm Los Angeles summer months, we believe guests deserve to enjoy the city in comfort, without the sun beating down on them for hours, while still getting a close-up, personal, and easy-to-enjoy sightseeing experience. Thank you again for recognizing and strongly recommending Bing and Guideline Tours. Reviews like yours help future travelers understand that after nearly four decades in business, we are still deeply committed to offering a real, personal, air-conditioned, comfortable, and memorable Grand City Tour of Los Angeles, Hollywood, and Beverly Hills. Happy travels, and we hope to see you again next time!
