highly recommend. our tour guy Katie was great. Don't reccomend this hike if you are in poor health or out of shape. bring sunscreen, a hat, and plenty of water (you can refill a couple of times along the way). once to the top you can walk down the paved road to parking or they have buses.

We had a great time, it was just the 4 of us so we got a nice private tour with George. We didn’t know what to expect but George made us feel immediately comfortable and engaged. He was full of great historical information that surprisingly made us appreciate the hike and the views even more. George was great with taking our family pictures at the best vantage and scenic points and really wanted to make sure we get a great LA experience after our tour with food and location recommendations. Highly recommended and George was a perfect guide.

Kate was amazing! She kept us motivated and she was super patient with people keeping their own pace. She had some fun knowledge/facts about Griffith Park and took great pictures for the group. I was on my own but Kate had us introduce ourselves so we felt comfortable chatting with others.
