Great way to spend an afternoon. Don’t miss the views but don’t skip the planetarium. We enjoyed our trip there and got great views of the Hollywood sign too.

Jeff- by far - he made it such an enjoyable experience - very knowledgeable and very helpful as I’m disabled - we could ask questions and had all the answers and just a small group made it easier - by far the better way to see everything and get an understanding of it all in layman’s terms

Jeff was informative, polite and shared his subject matter experience & expertise with patience and professionalism. Cheers!

Michael was witty and knowledgeable. The tour was worth every penny. I was pleasantly surprised about the extra information that was given that we wouldn’t have known without a guide.

Had a tour with Michael and it was one of the best experiences I had during my trip to LA! It was so educational, and his energy and passion about astronomy made the entire tour incredibly engaging. It was way more fun than I would have had on my own and I'm so glad I decided to book a guide at the last minute. Side note: the planetarium show he recommended I see after the tour was so cool!

The guide was amazing! The observatory was crowded. And there were a few families that joined our session that were not part of the guide. It would have been nice to have headphones that allows the guide to talk with us so we can hear.

Had an outstanding time on our 5:30 tour, which ended right at sunset. Esteban was fun, knows a ton about the observatory and LA, and a great guide.
