“It was our first time in LA, and we wanted to explore iconic places differently, we booked a hiking tour on 2 October 2024 @10AM. Our tour guide was on time, and she was the best! Very charismatic, athletic and very smart! It was quite amazing the wealth of knowledge she has of the area and the places to be. We had so much fun during our hike amid the sweltering 26C temperature. We will definitely book for another tour with this team the moment we head back to LA.”
