was a great day, well worth doing. tour company bus drivers though were rude and their driving i would go as far as to say was dangerous

This was a Great tour. Our tour guide gave us lots of good information and took us all over the place in the morning-- from Venice Beach to Hollywood! Then we had all afternoon at Universal Studios. If I had to do it again, I might have allowed for a full day at Universal because the lines for the rides were long and it took up a lot of our time, so we didnt get to see everything, but we had a lot of fun! The backlot tour was the Best and worth the wait! As for the tour company, VIP Tours, they completely lived up to their promises and I would definitely recommend them and use them again.

An excellent way to see the sights of LA. The half day at Universal studios was plenty of time in the off season as queues weren't as long as they would have been in summer. The hotel pick up was great and the guide informative. Would highly recommend.

The city tour was good. It covered a large part of the city but was a bit rushed and we didn't get a lot of time to take photos. In Universal Studios on the tour we drove down the set of Wisteria Lane.

Possitive: City tour was OK and Universal Studios was very good
Negative: However, In the tour details mention that coach will stop at Beverly Hill famous sign for photo oportunity but they did not. Return coach from Universal to hotel wasnt very organised.

A great way to see different highlights of the Los Angeles area without battling the traffic. There was alot to see in a short time but gave one an idea of where to visit with more time. Our tour guide, Tony, was very informative and humorous. He was a great driver and felt safe with him. Hotel pick up/drop off was a great feature for a tourist. The only reason I didnt go 5 stars is because it rained so vision was impared and soggy for our times out of the bus but that wasnt the tours fault.
