Las Vegas to Hollywood, Santa Monica & Beverly Hills VIP Day Tour

Detailed Review - July 2026

Transport Mercedes sprinter van with panoramic windows Row 1 has Driver plus one solo seat Row 2 has three seats. Row has 3 seats plus one solo seat Row has four seat seats AC is fine we went in July 2026. The AC is cool but not cold. DVD player is top down so everyone watches the same movies. Itinerary. My original plan was to drive from Vegas to LA and stay in LA for a few days and then I saw this tour. This tour hit the majority of what I wanted anyway. It allows someone to see the main sites of LA such as the Hollywood sign, Walk of Fame, Santa Monica Pier Beverley Hills, Chinese Theatre and our guide even showed us some celebrity houses, including Elvis, Michael Jackson, Tom Cruise, Frank Sinatra etc… Timings We never felt rust at each venue. There is enough time to see the venues I may be would’ve preferred perhaps 20 to 40 minutes longer at Santa Monica Beach but with the time given you see everything you are able to walk up and down the beach, you are able to do souvenir shopping. You are able to grab a snack with the existing time. It still doesn’t feel rust. I just like looking at the ocean Service This included breakfast which was a packaged cinnamon bun with some sunny D drinks it has unlimited water. It also included lunch at In-‘N-Out. Our Driver Tommy was able to share attractions and hotspots as we are driving. This included information about death Valley that you drive through area 51 that you’re able to see different hotels and casinos around the area facts about LA and Santa Monica and Beverly Hills. The small touches were nice Tommy provided hand sanitiser at every re-entry of the van. Tommy‘s driving was also very smooth. Make no mistake. This is a long drive going down there. You make a couple of stops along the way to stretch your legs by a snack. Use the restroom coming back is the same. We arrived back after midnight but this was also due to LA traffic. I went with my wife who often gets carsick and she didn’t get carsick which is a testament to Tommy’s driving. Overall This is a good tour. It is a long day but you only feel tired on the journey back where you can sleep and here is the advantage of this tour we got stuck in traffic for 45 minutes due to a road closure. If you were to self drive this tour you cannot do it in a day you’ll be too tired having to deal with all the traffic all of the headache of Parking worrying about where to go the route to take finding food and all of this is taken care of which is well worth the price. The fact that it includes lunch as well is a useful edition we weren’t rushed for lunch either we were totally take as long as you need and it’s a nice thing not to feel pressured. LA is a very busy city with many parking restrictions. It is nice not to worry about that where you can get dropped off exactly at the entrance to every venue have enough time at each venue and return back to the drop-off point without worrying about parking parking charges or having to deal with the traffic is especially nice when returning to Vegas where someone else does the driving for you and you can just sleep. Because this tour hits the majority of sites in LA it is also worth the money as the alternative is to travel to LA yourself book a hotel room for at least one or possibly two nights and have to hire a car to go to each venue yourself yes you can spend slightly more time at each venue if you do it independently, but you’re talking perhaps an extra 5 to 20 minutes at each venue and the headache of transportation is not worth an extra five minutes of looking at Hollywood side but again we didn’t feel rushed. We thought we had enough time at Hollywood sign and in fact more than enough time at some of the venues.

Our group was very...

Our group was very disappointed. We booked the tour days in advance. After we didn’t receive pick up instructions from the tour operator during the timeframe given by Viator, I emailed and called to inform Viator. We were expecting to be picked up for the tour at 5am Thursday morning. Around 9:30 pm Wednesday (the night before scheduled pick up), the tour operator messaged asking if we could go Friday instead of Thursday. Our flight would depart Friday so that was a no. I was stuck Thursday morning trying to understand how our money paid for the tour would be refunded. Viator said that the refund request would be reviewed within 7 days. I called and expressed my concerns with the length of time for a refund review. I received a confirmation email that the refund would be processed within 3-5 business days. Our group was left trying other options to fill our day as we planned to be in Hollywood for the full day, very disappointing.

Response from the operator: Hello Candice, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are incredibly sorry for the disappointment and frustration this caused your group, especially given your tight travel schedule. We completely understand how upsetting it is to have your plans disrupted at the last minute. To help clarify, our pickup instructions are automatically provided at the time of booking. However, due to several last-minute passenger cancellations the night before caused by severe weather conditions, we were unfortunately forced to cancel. We reached out immediately to offer an alternative day, but we completely understand that your flight schedule made that impossible. We always aim to provide a seamless experience, and we deeply regret that we let you down this time. We have ensured that your full refund was approved, and we hope you were still able to enjoy the rest of your time. If you ever find yourselves back in the area, we would love the opportunity to host your group properly.

Highly recommended!

Highly recommend!!! Reasonable price for 16hours. If you’re looking for a comfortable, well-organized, and enjoyable day trip from Las Vegas to Hollywood, Santa Monica, and Beverly Hills, this is the tour to book. Our driver and guide, Tommy, was exceptional. He is a careful driver, professional, friendly, and made the entire 16-hour journey smooth and enjoyable. Tommy made sure no one was left behind at any stop, gave clear instructions on meeting times/place, and kept everything running on schedule. The manager is very responsive to messages, answering our questions promptly and making the entire experience stress-free from the start. The complimentary bottled water and light snack was a thoughtful touch, and the minibus was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with charger ports. Despite the long day, Tommy remained patient and attentive, making sure everyone was comfortable and had a great experience. Thank you, Tommy, for making our trip memorable. I would definitely book this tour again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Las Vegas!
