A Day in LA Tours - Los Angeles Tours - Santa Monica, California

Ashlei Neely

The Day in LA tour was by far one of the best tours I've ever done while traveling. I surprised my mom with a trip to LA and I knew all the places I wanted us to go but couldn't figure out how we would make it to all of them on our own in one trip so I started researching tours and this was the top rated one! When calling to schedule the tour, the process was simple and secure. After booking, text messages were received to keep me abreast of what was to come. I was called about 10 minutes before pickup to inform me that the shuttle would be at my hotel soon (in about 5 minutes) and what to look for and where to be located. There is a shuttle that picks you up and takes you to a central location in Santa Monica where you are then split into groups and assigned to your tour bus (shuttle) for the day. As soon as we got on Raul's bus I knew we were in for a treat! Raul is personable, knowledgeable, funny and to top it off he's a great driver. He provided so much valuable information as we navigated from one municipality to another. Giving us history nuggets and small nuances that may not be widely known, but also seamlessly ending his short speeches before arriving at our next destination is a skill that he has certainly honed and perfected! He never had us feeling like he was talking too much or waiting for him to be quiet. He let us know when he would finish, that he would resume speaking when we arrived at our next point. He communicated clearly and effectively about where we were, what we had available to do or see at each attraction, how much time we had and when and where to meet back at the bus. The tour itself LITERALLY hits all the best parts of LA in a fun filled 9 hour day while taking the pressure off of having to navigate through such a vast area on your own (it would be impossible to do anyway)! Totally professional company, awesome service and well worth every cent! THANK YOU Raul and A Day in LA Tours for a magnificent experience!

My family and I had a great time on our tour with A Day in LA. The communication was clear from back when I booked the tour (six months ago), through the day before and morning of the tour. Michael’s energy got the morning going and Jeff’s narrative guide through the city was phenomenal. Each stop was clearly thought out along with each return time. I would definitely recommend to anyone coming to visit L.A.

Unforgettable LA Tour with an Amazing Team!

My family and I had an exceptional time with A Day in LA Tours. It was the perfect way to see some of LA’s iconic locations in just one day! We explored Santa Monica, Venice Beach, The Farmers Market, Beverly Hills, the Hollywood Sign at Griffith Observatory, and wrapped it up with the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Special shoutout to Alex, Jerry, Michael, and the entire crew—these guys are fantastic! They’re knowledgeable, friendly, and really made us feel like we were in safe hands throughout the day. The whole team was easygoing, and the amenities on the bus were top-notch (charging ports and bottled water were a plus). It’s truly a hassle-free way to experience LA.

The experience was memorable, and I can’t wait to sign up for more trips with them in the future. If you’re in LA, this is a must-do—A Day in LA provides a true taste of America. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city!

An absolutely incredible tour of LA all in one day. So helpful, especially when you're only in LA for a few days, so you can see all the famous sights with travel costs of ubers or taxis cut way down, just by booking this tour. Not only that, but Jeff — tour guide extraordinaire — shared anecdotes of meeting famous people, the history of all the landmarks he drove us to, along with quizzing us playfully on our knowledge of pop culture by popping in a song and asking us who the artist was or asking which famous film won a certain Oscar in a specific year. We were taken along the Sunset Strip to Santa Monica and Venice Beach, Rodeo Drive, the Grove (and Farmer's Market), the Griffith Observatory (saw the Hollywood sign on the way), Dolby Theater and the Walk of Fame, and much more that was shown while we were riding on the bus. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants a crash course on LA and the history of: California, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and more!

Most amazing tour and the best guide. The trip was filled with laughter, fun facts, iconic scenes and tons of fun. The tour will provide you with all the need to see attractions in LA. Whilst on the trip, we realised we couldn't have booked with a better tour company: AC, unlimited refreshments, out of the way effort and insight information ?. Thank you so much for making our LA trip.
