Flying visit to LA
Mario was an excellent tour guide, he gave us detailed knowledge about all the places we visited and always had a good story to tell about them. Our highlight was getting so close to the Hollywood sign and learning all about its history! We would recommend this trip to anyone who is short on time in LA as we were only there for 24 hrs and really feel we managed to capture all the highlights. Extra Bonus is the office is located on the walk of fame!
Response from the operator: Thank you for such a fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that Mario made your tour so enjoyable with his detailed knowledge and great stories. Getting up close to the Hollywood Sign and learning about its history is always a highlight, and we’re delighted you enjoyed it too! We’re especially glad the tour helped you make the most of your short 24-hour visit to Los Angeles and experience so many highlights in one trip. And yes, being right on the Walk of Fame makes it even more convenient to start your Hollywood adventure! Thank you for choosing VIP Hollywood Tours!

It was okay.
It was okay but I was expecting more stops and more time to take pics. The bus did have a roof and windows it was really hard to take any pics as well.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations, especially regarding the number of stops and the amount of time available for photos. We also understand how having the roof and windows on the bus made it more difficult to get the pictures you were hoping for. We appreciate your comments and will share them with our team as we continue looking for ways to improve the experience and better communicate what guests can expect from the tour. Thank you for choosing VIP Hollywood Tours!

Choice of van for the...
Choice of van for the tour was not suitable for the drive byes in that the viewing was poor. Tour too focused on star residences , that could have spent more time on the views.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry the van’s viewing angles didn’t meet your expectations and that you would have preferred more time focused on the views rather than celebrity residences. We appreciate your comments and will take them into consideration as we continue improving the Golden Ticket LA experience. Thank you for choosing Golden Ticket LA!

Los Angeles 3-Hour City Tour with 3 Stops: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Los Angeles.
How much does Los Angeles 3-Hour City Tour with 3 Stops cost?
+
Prices start at $51 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 Los Angeles 3-Hour City Tour with 3 Stops take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Los Angeles 3-Hour City Tour with 3 Stops worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 1,837 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Los Angeles, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Los Angeles 3-Hour City Tour with 3 Stops?
+
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 Los Angeles 3-Hour City Tour with 3 Stops suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Los Angeles 3-Hour City Tour with 3 Stops?
+
Around 643 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Los Angeles 3-Hour City Tour with 3 Stops 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, Griffith Observatory Hike: Guided Tour through Griffith Park. 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.
What is included in Los Angeles 3-Hour City Tour with 3 Stops?
+
Included: Bottled water; On-board WiFi; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Gratuities; and Parking. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
