My name is Simona. I am originally from Rome, Italy and now I live with my family in Orange County, California. I have worked in the tourism industry for over thirty years gaining experience as a travel planner and tour manager leading groups of American and foreign visitors through points of historical, cultural, and regional interest. My career started in the Caribbean, where I resided for three years before moving to the United States. I then specialized in conducting tours in the Southwestern and Northwestern areas of the United States through cities, National Parks, and Native American reservations. I have in-depth knowledge of seventeen states in the US. Also, I have a lot of experience in providing private services for VIP clients of different nationalities, including Italian and Spanish-speaking clientele. I would describe myself as a great communicator, detail-oriented, organized, cordial, reliable, consistent, and punctual. My goal is to make you feel at home and share my knowledge with you. I am very passionate about my work and I feel lucky to be able to meet new and interesting people. Living in Southern California is like being in a movie. There are many hidden parts of Los Angeles and surrounding areas that I would like to share with you while providing anecdotes, funny stories, and historical backgrounds. Let me guide you through all the famous spots while inebriated by the ocean breeze.

Overview of your Los Angeles tour

Los Angeles is the entertainment capital of the world. Hence it doesn't surprise that the vast majority of movie stars own a property(s) in the area. Its history of celebrity culture, the Mediterranean climate, diverse culture, and proximity to other major cities have all contributed to the high concentration of celebrities in areas like Hollywood Hills, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Brentwood, and Malibu. The coastal area is a paradise for beach and surf lovers. Taking a road trip along the Pacific Coast Highway will embody the true California dream and will remind you that traveling is as much about the journey as it is about the destination. HIGHLIGHTS: Homes of the Stars, in Beverly Hills & Bel Air, UCLA, Brentwood, Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu, Santa Barbara. The tour can be personalized upon request. Please request your preferred language at the time of reservation. Choices are: English, Italian, or Spanish

Your Los Angeles tour itinerary

The day will start with an exciting visit to the residential area where the rich & famous live charmed lives in unattainable mansions. Driving through the UCLA campus, we continue along the coast to reach Malibu. The 90s TV phenomenon Baywatch was extensively filmed here, & many of the show's locations, like Zuma Beach, are still open to the public. Continuing north of PCH, your senses will be captivated by the brisk and salty air and the view of the surfers who skillfully wait for the right wave and embrace it as soon it presents. Arrived in Santa Barbara, you will be enchanted by the Spanish Colonial Revival architecture that characterized this city with its unique white thick plaster walls, clay tile roofs, wood interiors, & iron exterior design. The Old Courthouse, which was built in 1929, exemplifies this style. It is an iconic city landmark with its distinctive tower clock, detailed murals, and lush gardens. The tower's 360º panoramic view of the city will inebriate you with its beauty.
