L.A. Private Tour FAQs
Planning your perfect LA itinerary should be as stress-free as the tour itself. Find answers below regarding our private vehicle options, custom scheduling, pickup locations, and cancellation policies. If you have a specific request not covered here, please reach out to our team directly.
Please consider booking your tour early as we tend to sell out, especially during weekends, holidays, and peak summer travel seasons.
Can we fully customize our tour route?
Absolutely. Every private tour we offer is 100% customizable. You can design your dream itinerary in advance with our concierge team, or simply tell your expert guide what you want to see when you step into the vehicle. If you love a spot, we can stay longer; if you want to skip a neighborhood, we bypass it.
Are child car seats provided, or should we bring our own?
We can provide forward-facing car seats and booster seats upon request at no extra charge. California law requires specific child restraints based on age and height. Please let us know your children's ages during booking so your vehicle arrives perfectly equipped.
Where do your private tours begin and end?
We offer complementary door-to-door service in most of central LA like Beverly Hills, Hollywood, West Hollywood, West Los Angeles, Westwood, Santa Monica, Venice, LAX Hotels and Downtown Los Angeles. Your guide will pick you up and drop you off directly at your Hotel or Airbnb. Please add $40.00 for LAX curbside pickup and $90.00 for Anaheim pickup.
Is there space for my luggage?
Yes. We utilize full-size SUVs that can comfortably fit up to 5 passengers along with 1 standard suitcase and 1 carry-on bag per person. If your party is larger or you have extra luggage, please contact us in advance to discuss alternative vehicle options.
How do you handle Los Angeles traffic during the tour?
Our expert local guides monitor live traffic data to keep your tour seamless. While you choose the destinations, your driver handles the routing logistics. We optimize the order of your stops on the fly to ensure you spend your time sightseeing at landmarks rather than sitting in gridlock.
Is gratuity included, and what is the standard tipping practice?
Gratuities are not included in the tour price, and tipping is entirely at your discretion. In the United States premium tour industry, a standard tip for an exceptional experience is 15% to 20% of the total tour cost. If you feel your professional guide and driver provided outstanding hospitality, personalized service, and insider knowledge of Los Angeles, a gratuity is a wonderful way to show your appreciation.
We have a late-night flight out of LAX. Can you pick us up in the morning at our Hotel with our luggage and drop us off at the airport after the tour?
Absolutely. This is one of our most popular private itinerary options. On your final day in Los Angeles, we can pick your party up directly from your hotel at checkout time. Your luggage will be loaded and remain completely secure inside our private vehicle trunk throughout the day. You can enjoy a full, customized sightseeing experience without worrying about your bags. At the conclusion of your tour, your guide will navigate the LAX traffic to drop you off right at your departure terminal in perfect time for your flight.
Are we allowed to step out of the vehicle to take photos and explore, or is this a driving-only tour?
This is a fully interactive experience, and you can step out as much as you like. Your private tour is a mix of comfortable luxury driving and walking exploration. At every landmark, beach, or viewpoint, your guide will park the vehicle so you can take photos, grab a coffee, shop, or explore the sights at your own pace.
Pricing & capacity
We conduct all of our private tours in full size SUVs. These vehicles comfortably accommodate up to 6 passengers with ample legroom and generous cargo space for luggage. Touring Los Angeles in a full-size SUV offers a superior, elevated ride height—giving your party a much clearer view over local traffic to sightsee landmarks, palm-lined avenues, and scenic canyon roads. The cabin is fully equipped with independent climate controls, leather seating, and complimentary charging ports for your devices. Our rates are calculated per vehicle SUV (up to 6 passengers), rather than per individual ticket. This ensures your party enjoys absolute privacy, a fully customized itinerary, and the undivided attention of your expert local guide for the entire day.
Are you able to take us close to the Hollywood Sign?
Yes, we will take you to the absolute closest vantage points accessible by vehicle. Federal law and strict neighborhood security prevent anyone from driving or walking directly up to touch the letters. However, while tour buses and tour vans are completely banned from entering the narrow residential canyon roads leading to the monument, our full-size SUV can legally navigate these streets. We will drive you directly to premium, unobstructed overlooks—such as Lake Hollywood Park.
