It’s summer and that means more family vacations, and a need to keep the kids happy and engaged. Kid friendly Los Angeles things to do are too numerous to mention here. But we’ll do our best to throw out a handful of great ideas: Kids typically don’t like shopping, but with a spot like The Grove and The Original Farmers Market, you can disguise your shopping with great visuals and entertainment. Just walking through the Farmers Market alone will have your child’s full attention, for there are candy shops, fudge makers, ice cream shops, and donuts.

Who Are The Best Tour Guides for Hollywood Experiences
December 5, 2018
Nowadays, with gizmos, gadgets, and apps, everyone is a local “professional” tour guide. Not only in Los Angeles, but the world-over. Tours, or experiences, from 3rd, 4th or 5th party bookers looking to cash in, can be broken down into small excursions promising the unknowing visitor the best of the city.

Los Angeles Private Tours in Summer
May 2, 2018
Los Angeles Private Tours in Summer and Booking the Must-Visits in the City ___________________ We are between two of the busiest travel seasons here in Los Angeles. Spring Break, and the summer months. We often see a slight slow down during late April and May, as we plan for a massive amount of visitors over June, July and August. The Spring Break period this year never seemed to end. Normally, we see everyone at once, but this year it was nicely staggered, with guests coming in from New York and New Jersey, Boston, the southern states, and the West Coast all at different times — along with a huge amount of families from Canada, Australia, Germany, South America, South Africa,

Hollywood Walk of Fame Upcoming Ceremonies

We can also pick up at locations in Venice Beach and Santa Monica. We never travel outside of these areas due to the unpredictability of freeway traffic. Rather than pay hourly tour rates, it’s much more economical for a visitor to take alternative transportation into the heart of Hollywood to start their tour. Plus, there’s very few talking points along the freeway system between Los Angeles and
