We are taking our family to the Los Angeles area for the first time and wanted to show our kids all of the amazing attractions and places to visit. We only have about four hours and didn’t want to worry about driving and parking and driving and parking and trying to find each of the places we wanted to go to, so we decided to look into City Tours for Los Angeles. After a lot of comparing we found that StarLine Tours is the best value and gives you the best tours. The thing I loved the most, is that they have a family pass that allows us to Hop-On and Hop-Off whenever we want at the stops so we can visit what we want and explore without having to deal with the stress of driving to each location.
StarLine City Tours has four routes that accommodates everyone in the different areas of Los Angeles. They are family friendly and budget friendly so you can take your family on a Tour of Los Angeles without the stress of planning and driving. You just show up and enjoy the day. The Tours are available in 24 hour, 48 hour, and 72 hours so you can enjoy the sites over 1, 2 or 3 days. They also have family pricing (which we always are looking for and LOVE). Another great thing to know is that 2 and younger ride for free. You can use strollers, but they have to be folded up while on the bus, and they have Itineraries are geared towards families!
