My tour guide Dave did a phenomenal job. We had a small party with just three adults and a child so we got a very personalized experience. We saw the Hollywood sign and walk of fame including Michael Jackson’s star. We took pics at staples center (now crypto.com), visited Beverly Hills, Melrose, griffin observatory,Korea town, happy ice, various celebrity homes and a multitude of other places. I’m only in town for a few days so this tour was the best way for me to see the majority of the city and it’s hot spots. Salute to Dave and his grand city tour of LA.

5 8 Private City Tour of the Los Angeles Area
The sights and tour guides are up and beyond anything I imagined for such an affordable price. I highly recommend this company. Read more
Our guide, Bing, helped turn a rainy day in LA to an amazing experience. If you have half a day, I would highly recommend taking her tour. It’s affordable and well worth every penny. Read more
Highly recommended! We had a great time with Paul & Mark! Excellent tour guides. Thank you for adding to our wonderful vacation. Read more
I was in a group of eleven on a family holiday! We had Paul take us on a great tour around LA! We went around to see some great attractions, visiting celeb homes and the city! Paul was very outgoing, friendly and approachable, and we all greatly enjoyed the experience! Highly recommend! Read more
A five star review of these guys doesn’t seem like justice they should be at least 10. Not only did she show us the sights of the town but we had some really great conversations about a lot of different topics. Guideline Tours is an example for all other companies to stand up to and be held to. The customer service they showed my family was above and beyond. Read more
While I like to go around on my own when I’m in a new place to get a feel of the area I thought I’d try a guided tour this time around and this didn’t disappoint. Informative, friendly, and worth the money spent. The tour took us through the sights you’d expect and more. Read more
We toured with Bing and it was the BEST experience! I couldn’t have imagined a better guide […] Bing was funny, knowledgeable, drove an impressive Mercedes van. Her experience is a 10/10, because she talks and listens. She has been touring for 35 years! I had such a great time that I hugged her when we were finished. I took my 16 year nephew (who was hesitant to go on a “tour”) and he said the trip wouldn’t have been the same without the tour! ️He actually told me on our hike this morning that Bing was his favorite person he met on our trip.
