This tour really did show us the real energy of LA. We were a group of 5 lads, on our spring break and we’d say that the prices really helped our pockets as well. Had a ball on this 4 day tour. We got to see a lot of central attractions in LA that I believe we would have missed otherwise if we’d be on our own. Timings were great, we got to see each place with a relaxed pace. Enjoyed the amazing views and energy of the vibrant town. thanks to Golden Bus Tours.
Willow
One could not have asked for a better family vacation trip than this. In an affordable package we were taken to Los Angeles and other attractions. Children loved the visit to Universal Studios, San Diego, and Santa Monica so much that they didn’t want to come back. All the Arrangement made were great. We will look forward for more exciting tours with Golden Bus tours.
