If you've never been to Hollywood and you want a true experience of the area with an affordable price, then book this place! Honestly speaking, I had expected Hollywood to be the perfect place with celebrities roaming from corner to corner when I was much younger, but the older I got, I realized it's a touristy spot after all and celebrities are regular people like us. My point is that cities like San Francisco and and New York will have crowds and people rushing to reach their destinations, that's the same way Hollywood will be like in the heart of Los Angeles. I loved this place because Mary was really nice and she communicated very fast so you could get the answers you were looking for such as recommendations and a glimpse into what the city is like; she wants you to have the ultimate hollywood experience. I do agree that the area outside of this place is a bit sketchy looking, but it's a tourist city so it's going to look like that from my personal experiences with cities. You get a super cheap deal especially if you split the costs with a friend or two. I promise you won't regret it at all because you get a sweet deal along with the sightseeing that's close to her home. My friend and I felt so at ease being close to the Walk of Fame and Beverly Hills. Also, we got to see Griffith Observatory which is right up on the hills with a nice view of Los Angeles. It was a real pleasure meeting a sweetheart like Mary because she is very caring and easy to communicate with! I will definitely be booking again with her if I'm ever in the area.
