“Wasn’t ’up to par’. Write up indicated we could just ‘stay on’, but we were told we had to disembark so driver could take his lunch break. We were shuffled between 3 buses, taking many more hours than we had planned for. Used another company tour the following day and it was stellar!”

We went up to the Hollywood sign and had a good time.”

I He definitely ruined our experience. . He insisted that he wanted to go out with her. My friend was scared but he kept pestering her until we left the place. We were two women alone who just wanted to enjoy the tour. I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else.!!!!!”

We understand this is an app based tour but had thought with a driver that they would be familiar with the route, know the stops and let us know approximate times we could spend at specific stops.

We had a 6 year old in the car and he played a radio station with frequent expletives in talkback language. Was just a super expensive Uber unfortunately,…”
