The two stars go to Big Mike holding down this bizness. The cons: The night before Purchased dual package tour: La Hood Life and Hollywood tour for $125 a person. A Text message sent at 2am said to meet up at 930am, which we didn't see until parking in the garage at 930am. We get there at 937am to check in, our tour gets verified with the owner (bald slick brother in a all white T parked a glossy badass Benz). At 10am the rest of our tour group arrives. They wait on the opposite end of us because our tours are separate. At 1010am we get verified the 3rd time that we have both tours booked, then offered a seat in the open air tour truck. At 1035 we get verified again & told to get off the open air tour truck and get a seat on the white van with everyone else, that our Hollywood tour would be after we get back from the Hood tour, Mind you the tour I booked was described as 3.5 hrs, quick & to the point. Instead We end up on a nearly 4 hours long tour of the hood. We got back to the pickup location at 230pm. 5 hrs in total wasted mostly by waiting around, watching a verbal argument btwn Mooney, the owner & Big Mike but he seemed to stay out of it. The complaining and arguing and cussing was authentic, cuz Mooney's frustration was real & felt. Yet I think his hissy fit led to all the chaos & waiting around we had to do. We're out $80 because that how much more we paid than everyone else on our tour. I left feeling "Debow-ed" with my tourist chain getting yanked off! Not to mention, the Van sound system went out by blasting uncontrollable screeching noise every time the Van was started back up. This screeching assault to our hearing happened about 9 times. Painful!!! Plus we were stuck in the heat with no AC. Haha it was so ridiculously awful, that looking back I can only laugh. Luckily we broke down close to a small store & bought cold drinks & snacks while the wiring was figured out to the sound system. The rest of the tour the microphone didn't work so the people in the back couldn't hear Big Mike's awesome story telling, and their nonstop complaining behind me was distracting AF. Lastly what we were overcharged $80, should be given to Big Mike and lil sum for Mooney cuz Mooney was mad as hell and I could tell by his high level cussing he can tell a story too.

We had 4 hours, even though we went a bit over. Yuliana was so helpful in bringing us to as many places as she could. Honestly, we could have had 8 hours and it still might have had enough time. We focused on Hollywood Hills and Beverley Hills. She knew all the spots to bring us.

I got the usual auto reply thanks for your inquiry and we'll be in touch. Then from that they subscribed me to their marketing emails. I kept getting those but never a reply to my inquiry.

After seeing the 5 star review by Marco...just days after I left my 1 star review (he says he has…read morebeen using this agency for 17 years....but only now decided it was worthy enough to review it...ok...sounds fishy) I decided that you shouldn't just take my word on it. So I have included photos of the outrageous price discrepancy: Our invoice in which we were charged $1,669 for a $799 inside cabin cabin: http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=4wmPwVbVdf5NJTnCXkVoNg&userid=FcdKOJBmez810jR6aaOIbQ The Brochure price (not the online price. This is the price they put in print, in a catalog...so it is the highest price): http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=MQjUf1xOJEwucYmVso2NtQ&userid=FcdKOJBmez810jR6aaOIbQ And, since the owner/manager STILL has not tried to contact us to offer some kind of explanation, or adjustment, my review stands: Absolutely HORRIBLE experience with this agency. When they hire brand new agents (with no experience), they clearly give zero training, support or guidance in how to properly serve their clients, or even the most basic of customer service. Having never planned a trip for our family before, my husband hired them to purchase a cruise (I normally do the vacation planning, but I was too busy to do it this time, and my husband was sweet enough to try and do it on his own as a surprise), with two cabins. He specifically asked for either 2 balcony rooms or 1 balcony and 1 ocean view. My husband was giving this trip to me as a surprise gift. The travel agent emailed him and confirmed IN WRITING that she was booking a balcony and ocean view for us, along with payment requirements. Since the email contained confirmation from her of the type of rooms she booked for us, and a payment request was in the body of the email as well, my husband did not think it necessary to go over the invoice with a fine tooth comb. He just made the payment. Well, when we arrived on our cruise, and went to our rooms, we discovered that although we were charged for a balcony and an ocean view, we in fact were given an inside cabin and a balcony! To sum up the rest of this experience, what transpired from that point is this: 1) I called/texted/emailed and FaceBooked the travel agent to find out what the heck was going on, with no response from her, until days after the trip started. 2) Another agent (manager?) emailed me and told me essentially that I should not be complaining, since I at least got the one balcony room (even though we did not get the ocean view room we paid for) 3) Once on the ship, and realizing we were pretty much screwed, I went to the cruise workers themselves, to try and figure out what happened. They basically said "We have no idea why you were given the inside cabin, since it looks like you were grossly over charged for the entire trip... you actually paid more for the inside cabin then for the room with the balcony...and in fact, it looks like you could have almost gotten a suite for the price you paid here". 4) After coming home we thought for sure the agent or agency would contact us to offer some sort of apology or explanation....NOPE 5) After pointing out that we did not get what we asked for, and we were charge about 40% higher than the actual brochure price, I was told that the president/owner? basically refused to discuss this with me, and said it was OUR FAULT that the agent booked the wrong room and that we should have double checked her work (even though she EMAILED US confirming she bought us what we asked for)...it's OUR fault. Aside from the outrageous lack of customer service/ethics/scruples this agency seems to embrace, they do not even attempt to teach the poor agents that they hire on how to properly book a trip, or treat clients. Very sad. Funny thing...a sincere apology owning the mistake, WITHOUT trying to blame everyone else, with perhaps some attempt to explain what happened, and assistance with trying to have the cruise line adjust the error would have gone pretty far.

Created an account via their website and booked a 1 night stay in the City King suite. $417 after taxes and including valet = $617. (Sat/Sun) LOVED their eco friendly vibe and thoughtfulness in the design of the property. Even down to the glass cups for complimentary water. Our room keys were wooden chips, the flooring material in the elevators were soft and cushion-y (so unique), real plants placed throughout the property- even in your room, free rides via their Audi vehicles (3 mile radius) and so much more. Upon arrival we were quickly checked in. Probably took no more than 10 mins. Valet was $75. Pets however stay for free! (So awesome) We ended up on the 10th floor and found a bottle of prosecco in the room to start the celebrations. The room was super clean, eco-friendly and the view was beautiful. Bedding was comfy and so was the additional couch in the room. Amenities were bomb and fridge options were too good! (Good brands) The lounge at check in was such a vibe with dim lighting. Sat there a few times (evening and morning) to just relax and enough the ambiance. Hotel was super lively with guests and community. There was a dj one evening and they seem to have a lot of wellness activities and offers which was nice to see. There's a breakfast spot right next to checkin (we didn't try) and a complimentary fresh fruit stand in the mornings. The architecture of the property is so beautiful and you can tell they really care for it (and the plants!) The grand stairs were my favorite be sure to take some pics in the evening - the glow is to good. Will definitely be back. I'm a fan!
