We had Eric as our tour guide and he was very bubbly, knowledgeable and he takes immense photos! Whilst you can do the tour without a guide, you won’t get the information or the amazing photos without one. We enjoyed this and are glad we paid for a guide. Also the free bottled water was an unexpected bonus. Thank you Eric.

Excellent trip. Tour guide was amazing, knew his history. I got an email from the company on the day stating that the tour would only go halfway up and not behind the sign. I was offered an alternative the next day but that didn’t work for me because I was in LA for only a few days. Disappointing and a bit unprofessional especially when people have such a tight schedule. I did go behind the sign by myself, so it can be done. But for everyone else, be careful what you sign up for. Oh and I didn’t get even a tiny amount of a refund.

It was awesome! I loved it and I recommend for everyone. Sad that almost my entire group didn’t want to stay to do the hiking and see behind the Hollywood Sign they just wanted to take pictures in front of the sign. But I went behind the sign and it wasn’t that difficult, it was good to do this. Everyone should do it once. It’s amazing, the view is awesome. I went by myself.
