Overall rating
The guide was very professional and made it very easy for my first paragliding experience. I wasn’t sure how I might feel when we stepped off the edge to takeoff, but rather than being nervous, it was exciting and quite peaceful soaring above the terrain. We stayed in flight for about 30 minutes so I got to settle in to the experience and landed light a feather onto the beach. I would definitely recommend this activity with this guide and look forward to my next paragliding experience.
Great experience! Talib was great! He was knowledgeable, answered all our questions and on top has a sense of humor which made the whole tour and experience much better! I was a bit reluctant to book this in the beginning, but it’s absolutely worth it! I did Hollywood and the other stuff myself the day before but it was absolutely a different experience with a knowledgeable guide. Thanks you Talib
We had so much fun on this Half Day tour! Our guide, Shawn gave us so much information and insight into LA. He did a wonderful job of keeping us engaged and entertained, and it’s clear that he loves his job and the city of LA. We saw so many famous sights and had plenty of time on the 3 stops to explore and enjoy ourselves. I would recommend this tour to any first time visitors. It’s a must do!
George was amazing! 5 stars all the way around the board! Tour was way more extensive with information and sightseeing than I predicted. These are open air vans. So definitely bring a jacket or sweatshirt. This LA wind and the speed of the van on the tour will make you cold! I went July 5th. High of 80 degrees. Please book the tour. You won’t regret it!!!
We did a nice drive to venice beach. The bike rent was on the other side of the road, but the guy helped us out how to cross the road and the cliff with the bikes. He also gave a nice recommend for a good lunch
