Great way to start the day!

This tour sounded fun so I signed up. Who wouldn't want to see the Hollywood sign and learn more about the area? Others said it was a moderate hike, and I would agree. Not too challenging at all. Best of all, our guide, Myriam, was personable, funny, and shared interesting stories about the area. At various lookout points, Myriam took multiple photos of all members of the group and even brought along extra water and snacks for us just in case. I'm so glad I took advantage of this excursion and highly recommend it.

The views. Definitely the views.
We actually missed the tour because of poor planning with driving times, but it was still worth it. My husband has a fear of heights. I had totally missed that when I booked. We had a marvelous tour on our own and the views from the Observatory were priceless!
Great way to start my LA...

We absolutely loved our hike on 1/14/2021. Our tour guide Liz L could not have been better. She was so cheery, sweet and knowledgeable she just MADE the experience. The hike was full of spectacular views and lead at the perfect pace for kids and parents alike. We learned so much about California history in our two + hour hike. Liz was so easy to chat with and was able to answer every question we had. She had the best recommendations for food later that night and activities for the duration of our stay. If we could give her more stars we would. Awesome COVID friendly activity that’s worth every penny!!
