Griffith Observatory: Tours & Tickets

Great all the way around with two exceptions. There was no warning that Griffith Park will often guide people to park outside the park. I had to walk two miles to enter the park. Secondly, the group was a bit big for maximum enjoyment. There 22 or 23 of us which is just too many. With that said our guide was fantastic. She knew her information, was enthusiastic, and was able to navigate the large group through the hike while keeping tabs on all of us.

Ask for Eric to be your guide! I can't imagine anyone being better. The excursion is extremely informative and the views are amazing. We participated in the daytime hike and can't wait to do the nighttime hike next time we travel to L.A. A tip though: Don't book this on a Monday, as the Observatory is closed and it is part of the package to be seen inside. Ask for Eric! You won't be disappointed.

We really enjoyed our trip. Our guide, Chris, was knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. Over the course of our two-hour leisurely walk, we were treated to spectacular views of Los Angeles, learned all sorts of intriguing facts about Griffith Park, the city of Los Angeles, the iconic Hollywood sign and the nearby neighborhood of Los Feliz.

I was 25-45 years older and slower than the rest of our group & Peter motivated me all the way to the Summit! Awesome hike and great way to start out first day of exploring Hollywood. My 15 year old granddaughter was impressed by the views & history lesson.

Our guide was good, but would have wanted more of a description of what was going to happen before it happened. We had to wait a while before the hike even started because If waivers. This should have been done when signing up for the hike.
