First time in LA and had the best time
I had the best time on this tour!! It was my first time in Los Angeles and I thought I wouldn’t have enough time to see everything I wanted to see but i ended up seeing more than i planned to. Special thanks to Giga, who was a fabulous tour guide with entertaining and fun facts about every single place that we visited : Beverly Hills, Walk of fame, Hollywood sign, etc. on each stop Giga made sure to take multiple pictures from multiple different angles to commemorate the memory. And they were good pictures too 😌 I would hundred percent recommend the store to anyone who wanted to have a fun visit of Los Angeles. Thank you !!

Unforgettable Day, LA Never Looked So Good
We booked the Private Photography Tour in Los Angeles for myself, my wife, and a friend, and it turned out to be one of the best experiences we've had, hands down. From the moment we met our guide, it was clear this wasn't going to be a rushed, cookie-cutter tour — everything felt personal and tailored to us. We were taken to a mix of iconic and hidden-gem spots around the city, and the pacing was perfect — never felt rushed, but we also covered a lot of ground. Our guide clearly knew the city inside and out and had a great eye, but was also just genuinely fun to be around, which made the whole day feel more like hanging out with a friend than a paid tour.

Amazing LA Tour with Giga – Highly Recommend!
I can't recommend LA Photography Tours with Giga enough! My best friend's daughter was visiting from France, and we wanted to make the most of her trip by seeing the best of Los Angeles while getting lots of great photos and videos along the way. Booking this tour was the perfect choice! Giga was an amazing guide from start to finish—friendly, professional, caring, and so knowledgeable about the city. We visited all the iconic spots, including the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, Santa Monica Pier, Venice Beach, and the Hollywood Sign. What made the tour really special was that Giga didn't just drive us from place to place. He shared interesting stories and history about each location, helped us find the best photo spots, took incredible pictures and videos for us, and made sure we were comfortable and having fun the entire time. The tour felt relaxed, personalized, and never rushed. We left with beautiful memories, amazing photos, and a much better appreciation for Los Angeles. If you're visiting LA and want to see the highlights without the stress of planning everything yourself, this tour is absolutely worth it. Thank you, Giga, for such a wonderful experience—we'll never forget it!

A Fantastic Tour of Beverly Hills and the Los Angeles Area
We had a wonderful time on this photography tour! It was much more than just Beverly Hills—we visited several beautiful and iconic locations around Los Angeles, each offering unique views and great photo opportunities. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. They knew the best places for photos, gave us plenty of time at each stop, and shared interesting information about the neighborhoods and landmarks along the way. The tour was well organized, comfortable, and an excellent value for the money. We came away with fantastic photos and unforgettable memories of Beverly Hills and the surrounding Los Angeles area. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Los Angeles. Whether you’re traveling with friends, family, or as a couple, it’s a great way to explore the city and capture beautiful memories. Five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best experience ever
My friend visited me during his first trip to America and I am so happy we took the LA Angels photo tour while he was in town. We were shown sites that we have only seen in Hollywood movies before but also vast areas in Los Angeles. Our guide Giga was knowledgeable, pleasant, and professional. I highly recommend this tour and I will surely book LA Angels Tours again.

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Los Angeles Photography Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Los Angeles.
How much does Private Los Angeles Photography Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $399 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 Private Los Angeles Photography Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Private Los Angeles Photography Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 17 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 Private Los Angeles Photography 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 Private Los Angeles Photography Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Los Angeles Photography Tour?
+
Around 6 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Los Angeles Photography 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 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 Private Los Angeles Photography Tour?
+
Included: Private driver/tour + guide + photographer + LA sightseeing + vacation photography + picku; Bottled water; and 20 to 30 edited, high-resolution photographs delivered digitally within 3–5 days. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Los Angeles Photography Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Los Angeles. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private Los Angeles Photography Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in Russian and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Los Angeles Photography Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Private Los Angeles Photography Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; Car can accommodate for manual wheelchair that can fold down; and Travelers welcome to bring car seat/infant seat. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Private Los Angeles Photography Tour if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Los Angeles. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
