“Our guide, Bob, was excellent. That, and the magnificent splendor of the park, are the only positives. Don't be fooled by a picture of a hummer sitting in front of a Joshua tree. This 3 hour tour never leaves a paved road on which you could drive your own car. Further, an entire hour of the tour is spent on reaching the park entrance from the meeting point and returning.

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 30 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $24Best value

See Hollywood, Beverly Hills, celebrity homes, Rodeo Drive, and the Hollywood Sign from an open-air van in two hours.

“We had a great tour guide. If you have very little time in LA this is a good way to get to see a lot of the areas. It is just the fence or gates of celeb homes mainly. For us it was freezing cold unexpectedly so dress warmly. Unfortunately we didn’t get to see Riris home as others were too cold and wanted to head back. Again, good if you have limited time in LA.”
