This tour was so fun! Anais did a great job and I learned so much! It was amazing to see the filming sites and fun to guess which movie scenes they were from. We had a great time.

Louis was an awesome guide and everyone in our group enjoyed the tour (ages 4-70!) The length, sights, trivia, etc. were all just right and wouldn’t change anything!
