We were a group of ten, everyone had a blast. Perfect length and we were able to jump off two times for 1.5 hours. Everyone was great and enthusiastic.

I have done these tours in other cities and this one was not a good experience. The indoor bus was extremely hot, only one bus driver was friendly - one was actually rude. Long intervals between buses, especially the route transfer buses where we waited an hour for the next bus. The buses are old and worn. I won’t consider a hop on hop off again after this experience.

This would have been a five star review if not for one of my last experiences of the two day use of my hop on hop off ticket. We were waiting where the stop specifically told us to wait (see photo attached) and we almost missed our bus because he stopped somewhere else. You should update your brochure accordingly. Otherwise really enjoyed our experience and loved we were able to see Santa Monica during our visit

Was scheduled to take the downtown route bus was not operating went into office was greeted by customers service name franchel she was extremely helpful she extended my ticket for another day and offered me celebrity homes for the inconvenience. She also help me and my partner with directions on how to get back downtown on the train and also printed out how to take the bus from the train station to the hotel she was very helpful.

Mohamed was absolutely amazing! He gave me and my 3 daughters the best deals and we had so much fun! We visited him twice so far and truly enjoyed our conversation! So much fun and a great sense of humor! Highly recommend!

Excellent way to see the city if you’re limited for time from Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and Santa Monica in a day

We took the City Sightseeing bus tour of Los Angeles (one day ticket allowing any 2 routes to be used). We did the Red & Yellow routes. On our first bus the commentary didn’t work (many others agreed). I spoke to the driver who said the system showed all was fine, but no-one on the upper deck appeared to have sound. On our 2nd and 4th bus I tried 3 headphone outlets before finding one that worked. Generally the buses were tatty. The commentary was very limited and didn’t mention several significant buildings we passed and was often out of sync with the location. The service was not frequent and there were some significant gaps during the day limiting the use of the hop-on hop-off concept. We have taken advantage of city bus tours in many countries over the years, but without doubt this was the poorest as well as one of the most expensive.

We did the 3 routes during 2 days : honestly we could have skip the downtown route ( purple) too long , it was more than 2.5h and less interesting than the other 2 . Lots of waiting during the day between buses ( stop #7 and #1 where you change bus) . We didn’t have time to visit the Griffith observatory . The drivers were friendly and helpfull and the audio tour guide was interesting . Recommend the red & yellow route but know that you are going to wait for the bus when changing route and there are no sign and you have to wave the driver so he stops .

Was in Hollywood stopped in starline tour was greeted by rep Franchel she was very pleasant. She gave me all the tour options that was available we took the hop on bus to be able to see more of the city. It was very informative we did the downtown route and the Hollywood route.

We booked with these people and found it to be very poor. We booked a 1 day pass. We wanted to go from Santa Monica to Beverly Hills and change route to go on to Hollywood. The 1st bus at 9.30am didn’t arrive so us and a lot more passengers were left waiting until a bus finally arrived at 10.20. The bus tracking app also wasn’t working so we couldn’t even tell if the buses were running. Once we finally got to stop 7 to changes busses there was no red route bus. We had to wait another 40 minutes for a bus. Again coming back from Hollywood the busses were not on time and had to wait 30 minutes for a bus. Spent most of our day waiting for buses.
