Fantastic Tour with Rodney on Big Bus Los Angeles - Rodney was an amazing guide! His energy, knowledge, and passion for Los Angeles made the tour unforgettable. He shared fascinating stories, fun trivia, and gave great tips for exploring the city. Rodney’s enthusiasm brought the landmarks to life, and his friendly approach made everyone feel welcome. Highly recommend taking a tour with him—he’s the best!

Buyer Beware - Not accommodating for last minute change requests no matter what the circumstance. - We booked a tour but one of our party members was ill and so we contacted the operator to find out if we could move our reservation to the next day. We had checked ahead to see if there was availability before asking and there was so we didn't feel like it should be an issue since we already paid in advance. They said we could not change the date, no exceptions. I don't think that this is the way one should conduct business but I'm only a consumer, so what would I know. Regardless, I probably will be very weary using viator in advance and it won't be my first option for certain.

Impossible to hop on and off when using both red and blue loops - We recently paid 180$ for two 2-day “Essential” Big Bus Tour tickets to visit LA. Having previously been on BB tours in other big cities (Dublin, Boston, London) we were confident about BB quality and didn’t shop around. Saying we were disappointed is quite the understatement. The only star we’re giving goes to the staff: everyone was very nice. But that’s about it for pros. Here goes for the negatives: 1) LA is obviously a VERY large city. BBT offers two main routes that connect (blue in the beaches area and red in the Hollywood area). It takes at least one hour to go from the blue to the red area. And the timetable that BBT offers is very very tight: the earliest pickup time in the beaches area is 11AM and the latest bus to return to that area is at 3:45 from one specific point. Factoring in the time it takes for a complete tour in the Hollywood area (at least 2 hours) and that you may want to hop off at least once for lunch or something, this makes it absolutely impossible to hop “on and off” as is advertised. You are stressed with the schedule and any missed bus is fatal because the next one will be there in at least 45 minutes. 2) there is absolutely no sign indicating the bus stops. You have to look at a photo of the spot on your smartphone app to make sure you’re at the right place. 3) there were many spots indicated on the recorded comment along the route that I couldn’t locate 4) the “Essential Tour” included a guided tour of celebrity homes. It was nice but we were in an open top Sprinter van and there were no headsets for that tour so with the wind and traffic noise, I couldn’t hear large portions of the comments 5) also included in the tour fee was a guided tour of the Chinese Theater, supposedly between 9AM and 7PM. When we got there at 4PM on day 2, we were told there was no more tours available that day for BBT tickets owners. So that was that. So think about what you’re looking for in a tour before booking this one and if you need to connect between red and blue lines, you should know that you won’t be able to hop on and off as you would expect to.

TMZ Celebrity Tour - The tour guide Serenity appeared visibly bored and tired throughout yawing loudly into the microphone. Also from a tour content perspective I found the Paris Hilton tape story really dated and not in keeping with the current environment. The footage showing a very young woman visibly upset about a private tape being sold in a store was very disturbing and by no means represents entertainment. This content has not aged well.
