The tour was far more than we could have imagined or hoped for. Our tour guide was a wealth of knowledge and juicy tid bits of the Hollywood who’s who and made the adventure well with the money. The air-conditioned Mercedes van was comfortable, clean, and a great way to see all those amazing homes! Highly recommend.

We were there 20 minutes before and were not led to the meeting point exactly by the link, but rushed around an underground garage at 44 degrees. Then worked after a perceived eternity on the phone. The company should put a sign on their black Mercedesbus or something else recognizable for the tour! We were only two (Laborday) and therefore lucky for a private tour.

I was a little turned around when I arrived, and I appreciated the tour guide waiting for me. The guide seemed very knowledgeable. However, I did check on some of her “facts” when I got back to my hotel room and they were inaccurate. All in all it was a nice day!
