• 5Highly recommended (especially with John)

  Overall excellent. I was sceptical in the beginning since the pick up time and venue at Long beach was constantly changed by the providers but their communication was good. However, once John picked us up, it was smooth sailing from then on for the rest of the day. John is not only extremely informative but also funny, accommodative, polite and professional at all times and made the whole day thoroughly enjoyable. So a big thank you to John! Excellent points: John - our guide of course( 7 stars); small coach and hence a small group; comfortable journey; itinerary and duration well thought of. Aspects than can be improved upon: time spent on lunch could be shortened so that more time can be spent at Santa Monica. Perhaps tie up with Mel's diner to book table(s) prior in advance on the day?
