Great Team Building Work Event!
So much fun and I highly recommend it. Great team building and bonding event for my coworkers and I! Directions were thorough and easy to understand.

Surprise Birthday Party - FANTASTIC TIME!
This ended up being a surprise birthday party arranged by my husband with about 20 of my nearest and dearest (and playfully competitive) family and friends. As a long time fan of escape rooms, puzzles and an avid watcher of The Amazing Race... this was the perfect afternoon party activity. The puzzles were challenging, but not impossible. It exerted physical energy, but was still fun. (The hills in DTLA are NO JOKE!) And the vibe was perfection throughout. The host was upbeat and on-top of everything, and it was a well-planned out and an overall fantastic and seamless day! (Not easy with the amount of variables in multiple locations). Highly recommend Fantastic Race... and looking forward to trying out some of their other offerings throughout the city.

Get off the couch and have the best LA experience.
This was the BEST Christmas Eve event to spend with family and friends. The excitement started the minute we were told the race started until we reached the final destination. I promise you will not be disappointed in this excursion. A++++++++

So much fun!
So much fun to see the city. It was wonderfully organized and put together. We did the LA1 and there were a few hills, but the fun puzzles gave us the energy to finish. I look forward to going again to see LA2 and the one in Santa Monica!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much. We are thrilled you had fun. It means so much to us, particularly in light of everything that has happened in the past year and a half. We really appreciate the kind words, and look forward to seeing you on the LA2 and Santa Monica Races

An absolute must do!
We had a fabulous time on a hot July weekend. We are all huge Amazing Race fans and were very excited about our event. Larry was very enthusiastic and a great host. The company is very COVID conscious and we were always made to feel comfortable. The race was very well coordinated and provided a rare opportunity to see sights that even locals may have not visited before. Would definitely recommend for families, friends or even team building. Can't wait to try out The Fantastic Race at their other locations!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the kind words. We are thrilled you had fun. We look forward to seeing you again at our other races!

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Half Day Small Group Los Angeles Tour and Scavenger Hunt: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Los Angeles.
How much does Half Day Small Group Los Angeles Tour and Scavenger Hunt cost?
+
Prices start at $81 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Los Angeles usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Half Day Small Group Los Angeles Tour and Scavenger Hunt take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Los Angeles is not rushed.
Is Half Day Small Group Los Angeles Tour and Scavenger Hunt worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 33 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Los Angeles, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Half Day Small Group Los Angeles Tour and Scavenger Hunt?
+
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 Half Day Small Group Los Angeles Tour and Scavenger Hunt suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Half Day Small Group Los Angeles Tour and Scavenger Hunt?
+
Around 12 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 Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Half Day Small Group Los Angeles Tour and Scavenger Hunt 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 Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles?
+
Los Angeles rewards travellers who cluster their bookings by geography rather than by theme. Studio tours and Hollywood walks sit inland, the Malibu and Santa Monica coast runs west, and Griffith Observatory and the canyon hikes work best at dawn or dusk. We weight transport clarity in the ranking here: whether pickup is included changes an LA day more than the tour itself. On Outty we rank every Los Angeles experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hollywood Sign 2.5-Hour Tour with Comedians and Their Dogs, Los Angeles Hollywood Sign Hike: Front, Behind, and Expert Guide, Los Angeles Original 90-Minute Walking Tour to The Hollywood Sign. 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 Los Angeles?
+
March to May and September to November, for clear air and open canyon roads. 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 Los Angeles?
+
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.
