Best Coast Tour - Best Coast Tours lives up to their name. They will pick you up from your hotel and drop you back off after the tour. This way it takes the stress out of driving in L.A. traffic. Our tour guide was awesome! Joshua was full of knowledge and fun facts about celebrities and places around the area. His sense of humor made it even more entertaining. We visited Venice Beach, Hollywood Walk of Fame, Beverly Hills, and celebrity homes. We had plenty of time to visit each place. I can’t thank Best Coast Tours and Joshua for a stress free, fun, informative, entertaining tour of L.A.! They really are the Best tour you can take while you are visiting!

Great tour! - I can't say enough about this tour. My husband isn't interested in LA, so I went alone. Our guide, Joe, made me feel very comfortable and the other guests added to the experience. I've done this tour twice, in 2019 and again this year (2020). There was so much to see and so much information to absorb! Joe knows the area very well, and was able to give us an "insider's view" of his hometown. He's also a good and respectful driver - LA traffic can be crazy, but he handled it smoothly. There is a good balance of touring and free time for exploration on your own. I highly recommend it!

City of Angels Tour - The tour was great! We were picked up at the Marriott Newport Coast. The tour took us to downtown LA, Hollywood, Hollywood Hills, Beverley Hills, Santa Monica Pier and Venice Beach. Our driver, Joe, was very knowledgeable and made it very interesting and fun. We definitely recommend this tour and will try one of their other tours when we’re back in the area!

Great tour of Los Angeles !!! - Joseph, our driver and co-owner of the company, was very accomodating. He picked us up at a residence where we were staying, after picking up other folks at hotels. He provided an interesting and entertaining narrative of the history and current social and economic aspects of Southern California in general and Los Angeles in particular. Much of the day was driving around the area, with Joseph's running commentary, but also with stops at the "walk of fame", lunch at the Farmer's Market, shopping at Rodeo Drive, and a walk on the beach at Venice Beach. All in all, an excellent tour and a fun day.

Best “Best Coast Tours” LA and Hollywood - Make sure to try Best Coast Tours. Joseph was a great guide filling the day with fun stories and showing interesting sites along the way to Los Angeles. His tour gave us a good sampling of LA and Hollywood where we saw celebrity homes and hangouts, The Farmers Market, Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, Rodeo Drive, Santa Monica Pier and Venice Beach - just to name a few. Make sure to wear your walking shoes because there was plenty of opportunity to get off the bus and explore. We highly recommend the Los Angeles/Hollywood tour!

A fantastic overview of the highlights of LA! - Our driver, Joseph, was outstanding. He's very knowledgeable and has lots of stories about the buildings, the history and the people. He picked us up on time, and shared great tidbits on our ride from Newport Coast to LA. Yes we were a bit time constrained - however it's a great introduction for deciding what to visit later. The lunch stop was good fun - so many choices! Joseph provided stories about the celebrities on Mulholland Drive - some homes were WOW and others small and what one would see in many developments. As he pointed out its the ZIP code that sets the price! The stop in Beverly Hills gave us time to see the stars in the sidewalk - also also venture a short way into Rodeo Drive. Great experience - and I was delighted to learn Best Coast Tours also does San Diego! I am taking my granddaughters there next month and we'll experience another tour with Joseph - thanks to their flexibility is scheduling!
