Griffith Park and Hollywood Sign tour reviews

Paul was our guide and we just loved him! He was very knowledgeable and a great guide as well as great company. We would do it again tomorrow if we weren’t leaving. Griffith Park is a can’t-miss if you are visiting LA!
— Rachel
This is absolutely a must-do if you want to go to the Griffith Observatory and see the Hollywood Sign. Lisa pointed out many interesting facts and sights that we would not have known or seen had we been by ourselves.
— Sara
The Griffith Observatory and Hollywood Sign exceeded our expectations... We highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to start their LA adventure with a mix of beauty and history.
— Mandip
Great way to spend an afternoon. Don’t miss the views, but don’t skip the planetarium. We enjoyed our trip there and got great views of the Hollywood Sign too.
— Alecia
Tour guide Matt was phenomenal! He was so knowledgeable and passionate about the history of LA! We had a great time. Would recommend!
— Micah
Our guide was an expert in astronomy as well as the history of the observatory and environs. It was a thrill to see the views and the telescope and to learn of the many galaxies out there.
— Judy
Well worth the time and money! We got a wonderful picture of the Hollywood Sign from the Griffith Observatory.
— Paulette
Greg, the tour guide, was great. He gave a lot of Hollywood, LA, and California history with a lot of great anecdotes. We had an excellent time.
— Alonzo
The hike is a must to experience a unique wilderness a few miles from the sprawling urban area. The view gets better and better while climbing up to the observatory.
— Luca
Matt was an absolute stellar tour guide. I am native to Southern California but learned so many fun facts on this tour. I would advise anyone, even SoCal natives, to take this tour.
— Laura
Holy moly, what a fun-filled tour! Our tour guide spoke with a wealth of knowledge on all things astronomy — and can keep even the most uninterested audience super engaged.
— Laura
Had a tour with Michael and it was one of the best experiences I had during my trip to LA! It was so educational, and his energy and passion about astronomy made the entire tour incredibly engaging. It was way more fun than I would have had on my own.
— Jeff
Out of this world! Estaban provided an intelligent, passionate, and thought-provoking tour. He had a clear understanding of the topic at hand and how to translate it to a guest.
— Orion
