Yes, book the last tour of the day as the tour guide may not feel as stressed to get back to the Hollywood Blvd location on time and you may see some of the local celebrities, either driving their vehicles or briefly walking outside. Great company and ditto experience.

The bus tour was one of our family activities for my 3-day family reunion in late July, consisting of 200 people. About 60 went on the bus tour. My family enjoyed the tour and had phrases of how great Steven and his team were. To top the great service we got, Steven even drove back to hotel that my family was staying in to bring back an iPad which one of my aunts left behind. Now that is beyond customer service! Steven, I thank you for taking great care of my family! I will definitely book again.

There were 20 high school seniors and 4 chaperones and we were picked up on time in a clean, beautiful bus, with wonderful service. We spent 10 hours going to different stops in LA and everything was perfect, including an ice chest of ice-cold water! We used them again on our trip to the airport a few days later and same experience. Communication was perfect from inquiry about pricing to contracting and during the trip. I booked with Big C because of the wonderful Yelp reviews and am so glad I did. They will definitely be our go-to charter anytime we are in Southern California. Thanks Clarence!

Today, they stepped up to the plate twice for us. We are staying at The Garland and they pick up passengers from this hotel. Well, this morning my Mom and two Aussies we befriended were waiting for the bus. It was late. We were getting antsy but the hotel informed us the driver had an emergency and Starline was sending an Uber for us. One minute late later, the Polestar arrived to pick us up Now the ride is tricky on the bus. There is traffic. This is L.A. Overall we were not exactly late for stops. Maybe a few minutes but no big deal. The drivers were nice and gave useful recommendations. The bus was comfortable and riding on the top deck of a double decker bus is one of my favorite things to do in a city I am visiting. The weather was perfect. I was happy. The stops are hit and miss. Some are well worth visiting such as Santa Monica Pier, Venice Beach, The Grove, Pink's, Olvera Avenue, Melrose Avenue, and really I could go for quite a bit. Others make me go hmm...like the Four Seasons and some unknown streets. Something for everyone. Now to make a long story short we hopped from the red to the yellow back to the red line. This is time consuming and I called telling the lady, Yasmine, I believe that we would not meet the deadline for the last drop-off at Dolby Theater to take us back to The Garland. She spoke with her supervisor, I believe it was Lisa. No problem.....Solomon will take you back to The Garland. Well, let me tell you. Solomon was right there as promised. And guess what? He drove us in his brand new Tesla! No joke. We took a scenic route and saw amazing views of Downtown L.A., the Hollywood sign and through one of the canyons, I forget which one. Solomon was so, so nice. He is a true asset to the company. Now, things did not go 100% smoothly but when does it? Starline Tours stepped up and did right by us. I will recommend them to anyone wanting to see fun L.A. spots without the absolute hassle of driving. And yes, the headset worked on every bus we were on.

I had a two-day pass and I thought that would be plenty of time. The problem was the small number of buses available. If there had been a bus every 15-30 minutes, I could have done more. Instead, the buses ran every hour or less frequently. There was a shortage of buses and drivers, according to the company. One route had only one bus, so we had to wait for it to make the whole circuit before we could get on again. Sometimes the buses didn't show up when scheduled, which made everything longer. I was very disappointed in this tour. I have to say, though, that the audio portion of the tour was good. Earphones were provided and although there was some static, I could usually understand what was being said.

Arrived Early, Treated Rudely, Safety Issues, 30+ Minutes Late…read more We prepaid for the 11:00 AM open-air tour 4 days in advance and arrived at 10:40 AM with printed confirmation stating the bus leaves on time and all late arrivals are bumped to the next tour. Instead, we were repeatedly told to "come back closer to 11" and then that there was a "bus issue" and come back at 11:15 am. We wandered around in the cold. We checked in 3-4 times because we had lunch plans after the 2-hour tour. Staff claimed another group was late (which turned out NOT to be true). Meanwhile, employees were trying to recruit more passengers. Only after we said we were canceling 30 minutes late, did they send us to board a bus. The driver was nice, but one seat behind him had no working seat belt. Three blocks after leaving, the bus was called back to pick up a group of 8 even though there were only 7 seat belts available. We were pressured to give up our safe seats and wait for another bus. We refused to exit. We refused to sit without a seat belt. The older male staff member was aggressive and extremely rude. The tour left over 30 minutes late. Disorganized, misleading, RUDE older man and unsafe. Horrible experience for the start of our vacation. Would NOT recommend.

Yesterday while driving northbound on the 110, an LA VIP Tours bus suddenly crossed over the gore…read morepoint (the striped no-drive zone) and cut directly into my lane, nearly hitting my car. There was no safe or legal reason for that maneuver. Crossing a gore lane is illegal for a reason. It is designed to prevent exactly this kind of dangerous situation. A commercial driver operating a large passenger bus should be held to a higher safety standard, not ignoring basic traffic laws. This was reckless driving that put me and others at serious risk. No one, especially a company transporting passengers, should be driving like that. I hope LA VIP Tours takes this seriously and addresses it before someone actually gets hurt.

I was very very happy with my decision to spend the afternoon with Surf City Tours seeing the sites…read morein LA. I took the Hollywood tour (they also have a Malibu tour which I will be going on next time ). The bus was pretty full and everyone quickly wound up becoming friendly. Even though we all came separately, it was a really cool group vibe thanks mostly to the guide who did a great job of making everyone feel comfortable and excited. So as the tour starts, I'm there trying to take pics and videos and post them to my IG story. The first thing I noticed was that there was so much stuff that we got to see right off the bat, we were seeing so many cool landmarks and celebrity homes that I couldn't keep up on IG . Generally, that was one of the best most pleasant surprises was the sheer quantity of cool things we got to see - it blew my expectations out of the water. LA is such a cool city, but being from San Diego we definitely take it for granted and just think about the traffic and how it takes forever to drive there But this tour reminded me about how there is no other city in the world like LA - I mean its mf HOLLYWOOD! Around every corner is a location from a movie, or a celebrity's home, or a landmark where something happened that is part of our pop culture history. The other thing that exceed my expectations was the fact that no only was I seeing cool shit but the driver knew so much about the city and its history. I was learning stuff I never knew about this place and never would have learned if I didn't take the tour. I came away afterwards with a new appreciation for LA and all that it has meant for everyone who has ever watched a movie. For the logistics - its a long tour - ours was about 5 hours so be prepared to spend the whole day. They stop for lunch at a farmers market where people have seen celebrities shopping, etc. They also stop downtown by the walk of fame, so you will get chances to get out and stretch your legs and grab something to eat or a beer. Also, the bus is open air so you don't have to worry about being stuck inside all day long. When I went it was a little cold out but they had blankets in the van for everyone who needed a little extra warmth. Trust me you will see everything that you would expect and more - even the Hollywood sign. It's the perfect activity for maybe your last full day in town when you don't want to think or plan your day - you just show up and get on the bus It would also prob be good for the day after you plan on going out the night before - easy day for a hangover You also don't have to stay in LA proper - you can stay in Santa Monica by the beach and completely avoid having to drive in all that traffic that everyone talks about. If you're from San Diego like me - I would totally recommend Surf City for an easy weekend trip with your significant other. It's super easy to drive into Santa Monica and you will feel more at home out by the beach like I did You get a hotel, some dinner reservations, one day to explore Santa Monica/go to the beach, and one day to let someone else do the driving and see some really cool stuff that you wouldn't be able to see anywhere else. They will even pick up and drop off at your hotel. Also, I'm pretty sure all the other tour companies pick up and drop off from downtown LA which is obvi a pain in the ass to get to and back from. I'm telling you - Valentines Day, anniversary, etc. It's perfect and you'll def score some points. Next time I go up that way I'm going to check out the Malibu tour which is shorter - I'll be sure to post about that one too.

Took the 5.5 hour tour and was disappointed…read more Spent way too much time on celebrity house tours which was uninteresting and not disclosed. Our tour guide only spoke about himself and did not once introduce himself or engage with most of the group. He made racist comments towards a group of Chinese passengers who had a slight language barrier and left the vehicle for a different tour company. We were told we'd have 15 minutes to view the Hollywood sign which I had waited years to do, from a number of angles however we had three minutes and it was an obstructed view over a mile away that was impossible to show up in pictures. We were supposed to have an hour in Hollywood Blvd but he told us to arrive back at 5.15 instead of 5.30 and this gave us only 30 minutes as we were late. We then decided the trip was not worth the suggested $20 tip PER PERSON in a group and we did not return to the truck.
