Big Bus Los Angeles was the perfect way to see the city! The hop-on, hop-off system made it easy to explore top attractions at our own pace, and the open-top bus provided amazing views of iconic landmarks like the Hollywood Sign, Walk of Fame, and Rodeo Drive. The audio guide was informative and fun, offering great insights into LA’s history and culture. The staff was friendly and helpful, making the experience smooth and enjoyable. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a local looking for a relaxed sightseeing adventure, I highly recommend Big Bus LA!
