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!

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. Great hike! Great tour guide! Great memories! Definitely worthy of a second round if coming to LA in the future.

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.

Great hike with so much history. Loved the history behind the Hollywood Sign, observatory, and architecture of surrounding homes! Paul was fabulous.
