Street performers include instrumental musicians, singers, jugglers, acrobats, mimes, comics, magicians, prophets, fortune tellers, and other assorted entertainers.

There are lots of funky shops, too, if you want to eat out of the ordinary or buy an unusual souvenir or T-shirt. There are courts for basketball, handball, shuffleboard and paddle tennis. Muscle Beach is a special area where fanatic bodybuilders pump iron in a public show of strength.

L.A. tour from Orange County- best family tour!
We had an amazing tour of L.A. with Joseph from Best Coast Tours! Joseph picked us up at our hotel in Huntington Beach, he communicated a few days before our scheduled tour to let us know what time he would pick us up and our itinerary for the day. He brought us to all the hot spots of L.A. and he was very knowledgeable and personable. It was an enjoyable day!

Highly Recommend
Our LA Tour from Newport Beach was super easy to plan for our family of 5. Joseph reached out to me via text and walked me through the process answering all my questions. He was on time for our pick up and the entire tour from start to finish was amazing. Everyone from teens to adults agreed! Absolutely highly recommend!

Best LA tour!
My family had an amazing experience with Joe seeing all the hotspots of LA. Joe was well informed and was quite entertaining. He arrived on time, provided lots of interesting info, and was very professional and kind. Would tour with them again!

Great tour of Hollywood and LA
Our guide was Joseph and we were really impressed with him. He picked us up on time and was dependable throughout our tour. We really appreciated the fact that he was such a good driver. Driving in LA can be pretty nerve racking but Joseph’s driving made us feel reassured. We’ve been to LA before but we actually learned a few new things on this tour, thanks to Joseph’s extensive background and knowledge on the subject. We would definitely recommend this trip to anyone interested.

Shared Los Angeles from Orange County: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Newport Beach.
How much does Shared Los Angeles from Orange County cost?
+
Prices start at $115 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Newport Beach usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Shared Los Angeles from Orange County take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Newport Beach is not rushed.
Is Shared Los Angeles from Orange County worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 64 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Newport Beach, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Shared Los Angeles from Orange County?
+
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 Shared Los Angeles from Orange County suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Shared Los Angeles from Orange County?
+
Around 22 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 Newport Beach 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 Newport Beach and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Shared Los Angeles from Orange County 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 Newport Beach 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 Newport Beach?
+
Newport Beach runs year-round whale watching out of the harbour, duffy boat and sailing charters, Balboa Island walks and coastal e-bike rides toward Laguna. On Outty we rank every Newport Beach experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Escape Game at Irvine Spectrum Center, Whale-Watching Cruise from Newport Beach, Electric Boat Rental in Newport Beach for Up to 12 People. 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 Newport Beach?
+
December to April for grey whales, June to September for blue whales. 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 Newport Beach?
+
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 Shared Los Angeles from Orange County?
+
Included: English speaking guide; Bottle of water and snacks; Shared Tour up to 14Max; and Private pickup locations (if the option is selected in advance). Not included: Lunch; Gratuities; and Parking Charges $18. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Shared Los Angeles from Orange County include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 143 listed pickup locations in and around Newport Beach. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Shared Los Angeles from Orange County offered in?
+
