Went to LA for two weeks and had a wonderful time. Santa Monica & Venice Beach was so much fun with lots to see and do. I love the beaches, people watching and really enjoy all the activities. A must see. We did the LA tour and then went back on our own to explore some more. Highly recommend you do this.

What a fun morning! Damian was great - he was knowledgeable and easy to talk to. It was my daughter's first trip to LA so we wanted to see as much as we possibly could. The bikes were super comfortable and easy to get around. It was a perfect day. I would highly recommend this bike tour and our guide Damian.

Sylvie was an amazing guide! I loved going through some of the canals in Venice! A real out of the ordinary type of trip! So unique and fun!

The best way to experience Venice Beach! Silvie was an outstanding tour guide and showed us all kind of neat sights! We were here for my daughters 24th birthday and wanted to see the pier, the beach, muscle beach and the canals in Venice California! We loved every minute

Really fun and leisurely bike tour of Santa Monica & Venice. The path was mainly alongside with the ocean, which was beautiful, and it was really flat. We got a good workout, but it was by no means strenuous. We started out in downtown Santa Monica and stopped at places like the Santa Monica pier and boardwalk, Venice boardwalk, Venice canals, Abbot Kinney, Tongva Park, and Santa Monica Blvd., and got some history/anecdotes behind each. We didn't stay too long at any one place — although our guide made it clear he'd be happy to stop if any of us wanted to — but that was fine by us since we just wanted a general feel for the area and its highlights so we could go back after and explore on our own. By that metric, it was a perfect tour. I'd highly recommend to anyone looking for a high-level overview of what Santa Monica & Venice have to offer.

This was a delightful adventure. Our tour guide from the “Real LA” was informative and engaging. He kept the pace appropriate for the various ages. Seeing different parts of the beach and the canals was the perfect combo. This tour was excellent!

Our tour guide, Damien, was outstanding. This was our second tour with The Real Los Angeles Tours and both times we found the guides to be professional, knowledgable, and kind. Our travel party included members ranging in age from 12-65 and everyone enjoyed the experience.
