This is a great,... - This is a great, entertaining ride up to the observatory; with sights of Hollywood pointed out along the way. My advice would be to sit on the left of the bus. As there are more things to see on that side. Be sure to bookmark around 2 hours for the tour too. I took the tour in early March. The views from the observatory around sunset were spectacular. Also, take something warm if you go around this time of year. Otherwise the ride down will be pretty chilly. I ended up buying a hoodie from the gift shop.

Blood Moon/ Beautiful Sunset - This was a really nice ride through some parts of scenic Hollywood up to the Observatory. We also got a lot of attention from the locals as upose to walking through on my own.. people wanted to make sure we got their extra two cents on places they actually lived in and grew up in which was great. Also i opted for this trip because it was a lot easier to ride the bus up to the Observatory than hike a trail even though i will be doing that next. Our driver Daren timed our arrival perfectly with us catching the sunset and also the full moon that was significantly orange i got some great pics, we were wayyyyy up in the mountains! Daren also took some awesome pictures for me as i was traveling alone.. couldnt be a better experience. The trip is closer to 2 hours but i feel like it was worth every minute with Daren's personal experiences with celebrities and the funny stories he had because he actually lives in the area, it made it that much better. His knowledge is impeccable there were so many things i didnt know and would simply have walked right past not knowing the history of some of the sites. Overall great experience and great for kids as well.

A must do when in Los Angeles - The ride to the observatory was fun. The tour guide was knowledgeable and funny. It was a nice scenic ride to and from the observatory and of course the views from the observatory were breathtaking.

First time joining a... - First time joining a night tour and I'm completely satisfied with this one. Seeing the sun set while riding the bus and listening to our passionate/comedic guide, then visiting the Griffith Observatory to see the Hollywood sign even closer created a memorable experience for my sister and I. I recommend this tour to anyone else who likes to see the city lights at night. Quick disclaimer if you plan to drive and park here, please arrive as early as possible so that you don't have to struggle to locate the office, which is nested in the Ovation mall. But if you do get lost, then you're very welcome to call their number for agent to support you.

Great tour to the Griffith Observatory - Our toure, Craig, was great - entertaining, informative, and punctual. He told us fascinating things about LA as he drove us through LA and up to the Griffith Observatory. We had the perfect amount of time up there as he was able to pick us up on time, despite all of the traffic.

Horrible tour company to use - Arranging any tour, you were looking forward to with this company is not a smart thing to do at all. I was really looking forward to this. I called them to ask a question the day of the tour and instead of answering my question, they told me my tour had been canceled because they were not enough participants. I said I had not received any notification about this. I then ask them was the only way I was going to know this was canceled because I just happen to call you. They said they were sorry but there’s nothing they could do about it and that they would issue a refund.
