    Basically a $100 per hour Uber ride

    Our driver was great. Our driver’s vehicle was great. However, he spoke limited and broken English and was by no means a “tour” guide as the reviews would have you believe.. So it was really a $100 an hour Uber ride devoid of explanations of what we were seeing and visiting. Despite this, we enjoyed ourselves.

    Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Before anything, I would like to (1) thank you for selecting RapidShuttle for your Los Angeles/Hollywood Private Day Trip, and (2) I would like to thank you also for your positive feedback. Our Private Day Trips are designed for our guests to customize as they please; our drivers are at their command throughout the trip. You can direct the driver to go anywhere you would like to go, such as but not limited to Santa Monica, Hollywood, Venice Beach, Los Angeles, and many other places and landmarks in the Los Angeles/Hollywood area. You can stop for snapshots, grab a bite to eat, shopping, and more. Of course, admissions to events and or certain landmarks are not included. In addition, our drivers are very knowledgeable of the area; most of them either born locally or been living locally for over 20 years. In regards to the broken English; please understand, that Southern California is known for its diversity; thus the reason we have the most diverse food, and culture. And this is one of the most important things that make Southern California such a special place. Nevertheless, I understand the importance to have a driver that has good communication skills; both for safety and enjoyment. Because of this (mostly safety), all of our drivers need to be fluent in English; they need to pass an in-house English test by 80% or more. I hope that we will see you again in the near future; until then, please have a great time wherever you are and be safe. Kind regards, Lidia Sal Experiences Satisfaction Manager RapidShuttle/ExQRide

    Greater Los Angeles and Hollywood Private Tour.: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santa Monica.

    How much does Greater Los Angeles and Hollywood Private Tour. cost?

    +

    Prices start at $373 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santa Monica usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Greater Los Angeles and Hollywood Private Tour. take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Santa Monica is not rushed.

    Is Greater Los Angeles and Hollywood Private Tour. worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Santa Monica, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Greater Los Angeles and Hollywood Private Tour.?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Greater Los Angeles and Hollywood Private Tour. suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Greater Los Angeles and Hollywood Private Tour.?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Santa Monica can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Santa Monica and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Greater Los Angeles and Hollywood Private Tour. start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Santa Monica within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Santa Monica?

    +

    Santa Monica is where most LA coast tours start: beach bike and e-bike rides to Venice, surf lessons, food walks on Third Street and open-top runs up Pacific Coast Highway. On Outty we rank every Santa Monica experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Los Angeles Guided City Tour with 4 Stops and Free Time, Half Day Best of Los Angeles City Tour from Santa Monica, Hollywood, Beverly Hills & Celebrity Homes Tour by Open Air Bus. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Santa Monica?

    +

    March to May and September to November, dodging the June marine layer. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Santa Monica?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
