Los Angeles Hop-On Hop-Off Double-Decker Bus Tour

We booked a two day trip which allows you to experience three different tours. Unfortunately, the 3pm purple tour to the city (downtown) was cancelled the first day so we decided to get there earlier on the 2nd day but then the 12.15pm tour was also cancelled. So we had to hang around for an hour to wait on the 1.15pm. This tour simply does not have enough busses to offer the service that they promise and make you pay for. In the end we did not do much hopping off because we realised that we were just waiting and waiting around for the bus to arrive. I will not use this operator again.

The Hollywood branch of the tour was good. The Santa Monica branch was long. The beach area is beautiful, otherwise, very long tour. If you plan to do the Santa Monica route, get off the red line at the appropriate stop, otherwise - if leaving from Dolby Theater - you end up riding the red line twice. My 15y/o and 17y/o were largely unimpressed, and kept asking when it was going to be done. We did the Hollywood/red line, lasting a generous 2hrs. We did not realize that the Dolby Theater stop only runs the red line, so by the time we took the red > to get to the yellow > to get back on the red (as we were parked at Dolby Theater) it was well over 4hrs. (In addition to the generous 2hrs we had already done.). My misunderstanding that neither the red nor the yellow bring you through a route passing homes of the stars - the part my teenagers were most looking forward to. Overall, I would try a different option if we return to LA.

The view was the best, very enjoyable. Good clean bus, driver was very accommodating. Will definitely book again

Very sad and hot tour. The bus was over 30 minutes late. No air on the bus. No real interesting stories.

I'm easygoing and was giving these reviews the benefit of the doubt... and I am going to tell you right now DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE! The buses do not leave on time nor did they at the time arrive on time. Several people on our small bus started to complain about the time frame. Once the bus started to move, we were relieved, on an afternoon trip and a 24-hour pass you will NOT get your money's worth. 4 of us were stranded at a stop where the driver didn't see us and we were told to stand, it could have been the wrong stop who knows???? but either way, we followed the previous bus drivers instructions about where to stand and go. Who knows, but after trying to chat with someone and call someone nothing was resolved. If you don't get off the bus maybe, but this was a terrible waste of a day in LA and we can't get our time back and we are fighting to get our money back now. And let me tell you about their 24-hour pass, its also worthless because the bus stop running at 3:30pm on one route, 4:45pm on another 6pm on the last... (Approximately)... 24 hours means that you can use it the next day from the time you checked in?! why? so I can get stranded again? Thankfully, you can pay an uber driver to pick you up and pay them extra to drive where ever you want to go. This truly was a horrible experience, they need an app... and app that lets the driver know when there is a family standing and waiting in the hot sun.

Wasted our money (which was a lot for a family of 4!) as we didn’t even use the tickets. Found it very hard to download a map to know where to even start! The vendor website is clunky and not user friendly.

We tried to get on in Beverly Hills and it was very hard to determine if we were actually at the bus stop. An app showing a map with the stops and your current position would make this a much better experience. It took us 2.5 hours to actually get on the bus after missing several from being in the wrong location. Also recommend having gps tracking on the buses so you will know where the bus is in route on the app.

This was an excellent hop-on hop-off tour. I have been on many of them in various cities, and I can truly say that this is one of the best. The explanations are very good and the tour hits all of the major attractions. So it’s possible to get lots of great photos.

Great for first time visitors that want to experience the LA experience. Recommend bring water and having a plan before you get on and ask the workers plenty of questions.

Best way to see most of the sights in a short period of time. Wish we had more time to get off to explore the sights. We did this on a Monday and a lot of places were closed.
