This was a great activity to do while in LA. The hike is very scenic with many great photo opportunities. Our guide JB was fantastic, he told us interesting information about the history of California, the Hollywood Sign, and was very funny. He even brings his dog too! The tour is extremely well paced, where you have enough time to take in all the views. Also, JB takes great photos. He took multiple pictures of me throughout the tour in front of the sign/scenic backgrounds and they all turned out great. Overall, this is a great tour and well worth your time and money. Thank you JB!

A very interesting tour. You immerse yourself in the history of cinema... I was surprised by entire towns built especially for films... cardboard houses... I always thought that only real houses were used in films 😆
