Emily was a fabulous tour guide. We only had one day to take in the sites of Hollywood and Beverly Hills. She personalized the tour for the three of us and worked to accommodate two of us with mobility issues. She kept in communication with us before the trip and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. She was knowledgeable, funny and very personable. She made the tour extra special. Emily notified us that a festival in Hollywood would be closing down some of the streets that had our preferred sites on them, however, she reworked the route and time schedule so we were able take in those sites we feared we would miss. She told us to get in contact with her if we needed anything. I can't say enough about how wonderful this tour and Emily were. THANK YOU SO MUCH EMILY!

Travel is my biggest passion. I can freely admit that I'm addicted to it. l have visited 89 countries and am close to my 100-country goal. There is nothing better than arriving at a new place and fully exploring it from a local standpoint. Going beyond the tour books and seeing the uniqueness of every country and its people. That approach has left me with amazing memories, unbelievable adventures, and one-of-the-kind experiences. This journey around the world gave me a unique perspective on being a tour guide. After getting stuck on countless generic tours that spend hours showing off stores and bringing me to places that gave the guides kickbacks, while only allowing ten to twenty minutes at incredible attractions that I wished to explore in more detail. I decided to become a tour guide to ensure that when visiting Los Angeles you take control of your experience and visit each location for as long as you desire while skipping the attractions that hold no interest to you. Being a private tour guide with over 12 years of guiding experience, gave me the opportunity to discover every nook and cranny that Los Angeles has to offer. I don't believe in the idea of one tour fits all. My aim is to give you a personalized and balanced introduction to what this amazing city has to offer. From the major attractions to hidden gems that no tour book will tell you about, we will explore all the glittering facets of this amazing place while learning the fascinating history behind each attraction that we visit. Whether it's the lure of the bright lights of Hollywood, the poshness of Beverly Hills, the laid-back beach life, the hustle of Downtown L. A. , or the vast amount of secret, beautiful, amazing, and downright unbelievable places scattered everywhere, there is always incredible places to discover and explore. Together will create a custom experience for you and your family to ensure that your visit to L. A. is a memorable one. All tours are custom-tailored to your preferences. In fact, you can even mix and match. See two tours you like? Combine them. It's your vacation, you deserve to have an experience of a lifetime. Join me as we go off the beaten track and explore the magnificent side of Los Angeles you never knew existed. Tcp# 29574

Best guide we have ever had. Emily was a non-stop fountain of knowledge about Hollywood and the environs. So enjoyed the tour.
Emily was very friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable . She gave us some very interesting information regarding yeah just sitting and we really enjoyed our four hours with her. She was able to customize the tour 07 30 and we really appreciated that .
My son, pup, and I loved our tour with Emily! We got to see all the sites that we were hoping to see and Emily shared so much interesting information about LA with us. She is an expert in all things LA and we had such a great time with her. I also really appreciated her flexibility in customizing the tour for our time frame. Emily is the best and if/when we return to LA, we will for sure book another tour with Emily. I highly recommend!
Emily devised a fantastic tour for my husband and I. Taking in particular music hotspots that we wished to see and some hidden gems. Emily is fantastically knowledgeable about Los Angeles and nothing was too much trouble for her. We saw so many different areas on our tour , we feel we have seen so much and thoroughly enjoyed every minute.
If you are looking for an uncommon tour with a person with a passion for the arts, this is a great choice. Emily comes very prepared to show you details and tell you stories behind the art that tweaked my interest to learn much more. A two-hour tour could only scratch the surface. But I think the highest compliment to Emily is that she stimulated my curiosity both about the Getty and the art collection. She takes her job very seriously and is committed to you getting a lot out of the tour.
