“Brian did an incredible job! Super knowledgeable about Beverly Hills, the history and all sorts of fun facts and trivia. The resturants we visited were excellent, with a high level of skill in their cooking and presentation. The beverages served were delicious as well! There's a fair amount of walking, so wear good walking shoes. Bring a healthy appetite as well, you'll be stuffed at the end. Brian also had wonderful connections with many resturants in the area. He was able to help secure last minute reservations at a very busy restaurant the Saturday evening after our tour. I'd give 6 stars, but am limited to 5!”

Tour guide tore sandwich with bare hands as she handed us pieces. This made a few guests uncomfortable. No sanitizer offered or used. After 1 hour and 20 minutes of walking and standing in hot sun, we tried second dish we had to eat standing at metro. The guide was hard to hear and understand and did not clearly communicate what we doing and why. Not interesting or engaging. Five of us…”
