Ride through Santa Monica, Hollywood, and Beverly Hills in one day, with guided stops at the Pier, Farmers Market, Griffith and Walk of Fame.

“I had an absolutely wonderful experience on this tour! The organization was flawless, and in just 7 hours we managed to see so much of Los Angeles — Beverly Hills, the beautiful Santa Monica beach, a charming farmers market, and of course, we ended the day at the Griffith Observatory with its breathtaking view of downtown and the valley. For the $95 I paid, it was truly a bargain. Our driver and guide was excellent — knowledgeable, friendly, and kept us entertained with lots of interesting stories and insights along the way.

A 90-minute narrated trolley tour of Santa Barbara and Montecito, with quick stops at coast, Mission, courthouses, and more.

“Santa Barbara Trolley Tour (Booked via Viator.com) We booked this tour through Viator for $28 per person (non-refundable), and I have to say — it’s an affordable, worthwhile way to see Santa Barbara and Montecito if you’re short on time. The tour runs about an hour and a half, narrated the whole way through. Our guide, Rusty, was excellent — knowledgeable, engaging, and easy to listen to. He mixed history with fun local details, pointing out landmarks, residents, and even a few celebrity homes. His energy kept the ride interesting from start to finish. Pro tip: Seating is a bit of a luck-of-the-draw situation. There are about four or five…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 499 reviews · 3 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $159

Small-group half-day Joshua Tree tour from Palm Springs with a geology guide, photo stops, short walks, snacks, and park entry.

“Great tour but when the guide found out we had an America the Beautiful pass, HE said we could let two people on the tour use our pass and get in for free. Since he said it in front of them, we didn't object. It wasn't his place to do that. Also there were two other people on the bus who didn't pay at all as we went thru the gate. The guide said there were only four passengers when there were actually six. So four people out of six did not pay to get in the park. Not our doing.”
