This was the 2nd experience I've done with this company. I did their food tour in Manhattan Beach…read morelast year, and this mixology tour was just as great (but different)! I had such a fun time! The drinks we had at each place were so delicious and a great variety - I enjoyed every single one and I love how there were a few light snacks included along the way. I grew up in the area, but I learned so much interesting history about Hermosa Beach from Lauren that I never knew! I'd definitely recommend this experience as a fun way to spend an evening with friends or for a date night!

I was lucky enough to be in attendance on the inaugural run of the Hermosa Beach Mixology Tour…read more Being a local, I wondered how much I would learn or even how much I would enjoy doing a tour of an area I was already familiar with. I was more than pleasantly surprised! Out of the three places we'd visited I'd only previously been to one of them. It was great being able to just sit down and take in a nice snapshot of each place while enjoying a delicious beverage. Each drink offering was different from the rest. It definitely made me want to go back to EACH place to try not only other drinks, but FOOD! It was nice to be provided with a sampling of each location....sort of a 'try it before you buy it' type of approach. I also learned a lot about the musical history of Hermosa. I'd only known about the jazz roots embedded in The Lighthouse, so it was nice to learn there was more. I like this tour because it really is something different. I would suggest leaving the evening open afterwards so you can explore more of the places on Pier Avenue or go back to the ones you just visited. It's such a vibrant location. Had a great time!

We drove two hours in Friday primetime traffic just to do this sunset tour with Glass Bottom Boat…read moreand it was so worth it. Our group was 4 adults, 4 kids, and our dog and everyone had a blast. I had done one of those regular glass bottom boats before and it was honestly boring. This one is way different. The boat has two levels. You start on the top deck cruising King Harbor where you get to see sea lions, and then go downstairs into this cozy underwater room with huge windows on both sides. You can sit right next to the glass and watch fish swim by like you're in a tiny underwater aquarium Captain Erik was amazing. He was hilarious, super interactive, and thoughtful. He noticed when one of my friends didn't have a jacket and made sure she wasn't too cold, let the kids try on the captain's hat, and somehow made everyone on board, including a few strangers, feel included. The sunset was beautiful, the ride was smooth and easy for kids and dogs, and it was way better than we expected. If you're in the South Bay and think you know what a glass bottom tour is, this one will surprise you. I get TERRIBLE seasickness and I did not feel sick for a second! Totally worth the traffic and we'll definitely be coming back.

We found that the view from the top of the boat was much better than the view through the glass…read morebottom, lol. Everyone is split into two groups, and each group takes turns going down to the glass-bottom area to look at the fish for about 10-15 minutes. The ride was about 45 minutes. A couple of tips: use the restroom before the tour since there isn't one on the boat, and don't forget to bring a hat or cap, water, and plenty of sunscreen. Overall, it was a fun boat ride! Our captain was friendly, and we got to learn some local history while seeing Redondo Beach from the water. It was a scenic, relaxing, and memorable way to spend time out on the ocean.

My daughter and I took the Special Pasta Dinner event this afternoon. 8 students were chauffeur…read moredriven to the Hollywood Farmers' Market, which is a certified market which means that all vendors actually grow what they sell. Porsche pointed out the Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Hollywood that she attended. She gave us pointers on how to shop at farmers' markets and buying produce and allowed us a few minutes of free time to shop on our own. Once back at EATZ, where Porsche is also a cooking instructor, we had Mimosas and snacked on baguette slices and very fresh goat cheese in olive oil that she purchased from the market. We began with the panne cotta - yes, life is uncertain, start with the dessert!! This dish needed time to set. We prepared the fresh beautiful strawberries for the dessert as well. Each team of 2 had their own cooking station and burner. Just perfect for all of us. We made the pasta with basil and set it aside to soften. We worked on the roasted tomatoes with garlic and then the stuffed mushrooms with spinach, shallots, garlic and cream cheese, sprinkled with bread crumbs. We began the meat sauce and when the roasted tomatoes were ready, Porsche pulsated them in a food processor and added it to our meat sauce. Our workout began as we rolled out our pasta. Yes, that was definitely a workout, but so rewarding. We all got the technique down. We learned the correct thickness of the pasta and how to cut and separate them before cooking. Definitely a good appreciation for handmade pasta!! We were then treated to a delicious meal of our own creation!! Devine!! Porsche will be emailing all the recipes after the class. My daughter and I highly recommend take a great afternoon with Porsche and taking her class. She has several menus to select from and we will definitely return in the future!! Thank you, Porsche - you are amazing!!

I was looking for something new and fun to do on my day off and came across this San Pedro Food…read moreTour. Something new as I have never done a food tour before. I can honestly say that I was pleasantly surprised. This tour was full of great information about San Pedro and fantastic food. Chef Porsche was very knowledgable and suggested of other places to visit besides the stops on our tour. The tour included 5 stops and it covered burgers, cuban food, fish and chips, bake goods and a stop at a tea house. Our tour started off at Bunz Gourmet Burgers ( small mom and pops shop) fantastic burger. Will have to come back for more. We went to Cuban restaurant called Punto Cubano with great character and decor. There we had a cuban sandwich that was amazing. Obviously there's other stuff in the menu that you are more than welcome to order at your own cost. We had a delicious flan :-) we had a few stops in between and learned about the San Pedro Port history and other spots. We then hit The Whale and Ale (English pub) for some delicious fish and chips. Alcohol not included in the tour but available for purchase. I couldn't help myself so I had a guinness. We then went over to Hojas for some delicious chai tea that hit the right spot. Hard to pick a favorite as everything was very very good, and if I may add the food portions are just right. Enough to leave you stuffed. Overall the tour was fantastic. I definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for something new and fun to do. It supports local businesses and is something that you can do on a date, with family, friends or even Solo. You'll meet great people on the tour. I look forward to future tours from Chef Porsche. Thank you Porsche for introducing me to a new are in San Pedro that I would've not know about on my own but will definitely be visiting again soon.

DO NOT BELIEVE TO ANY POSITIVE REVIEWS!!!…read more Went there today and i want to say that i'm super disappointed. My girlfriend started to feel bad and i asked if she can just have a sit inside and not to stay under the sun and i'll give her a bag just in case she needs it. I was really panicking and had no other option, we were in the middle of the ocean and this old Asian rude man was like "You can not come inside if you feel sick, go outside". Like are you freaking serious man? What other option do i have to help her? Other guy just yelled at me when i asked if i can get a small weight as the lines got mixed up and one of the crew members cut mine to help another guy to get his fish out. There were so many people and you just don't enjoy anything. They literally don't care about human beings and need only money. NEVER RETURNING BACK!!!

This is a working paparazzi guide that does this day in and day out and you get a peek at how they work and where the celebrities hang out, eat, pastry and generally live their lives. Their jobs are hard! It's a lot of detective work and reading little cues and it was super interesting. Our first day we saw Tracee Ellis Ross which was really cool but I can't emphasize how interesting and fun this was even if you didn't find someone. This was exciting and unforgettable!!

In a nutshell it was incredible and was one of the most fun things we did on our vacation. Although my friends were initially skeptical we actually saw a few celebrities including Keanu Reeves! Our tour guide was amazing and we really felt like we were "in the know" of something that the public usually doesn't see. Highly recommend.

My wife and I wanted to do something different this time in LA. This was it !…read more1. You will see many different tours out there . Most of them are open air . You may think that's what I want . ACTUALLY , the closed windows were great because of the air conditioning! The windows were plenty big enough to see everything and you didn't smell marijuana all day. . 2. We saw everything ! We leaned a lot from our driver and.he knew pretty much everything. 3. The bus was clean and comfortable especially for an all day tour . 4. I thought we had plenty of time at each stop and the stops were perfect IMO. -Santa Monica -Venice Beach -Beverly Hills -Farmers Market -Griffith Park -Hollywood 5. Our driver cared about everyone . One of our stops , a couple ( from another country) was lost . He made contact with them , made sure they were ok BUT did not leave !! We started with everyone and returned with everyone ! 6. It didn't affect us BUT he was bilingual and very good at spanish with his other guests 7. Very important - Our driver/ tour guide was amazing ! His name was John G. Very knowledgeable about everything LA even the history . He knew something about everything . Plants , trees , buildings , where stars lived , gee wiz things, even things about the other guests states they were from . Everything !! Too much too list . He enjoyed his job . We did not have a vibrant bus but that didn't stop his overall enthusiasm and motivation . I hope everyone have him a tip. He earned every bit of it . Always felt safe , he had road detours , that didn't matter , he found a way around !! Our one time in LA after several trips so why not !! This company is top notch. Why this company with so many out there . It was recommended by Universal Studios . Then we researched . Over 7,000 reviews with 4.8 stars out of 5. Thank you John G!!! And thank you A Day in La!! PS. The buses are painted some unique colors for a reason . Huge help with so many different companies !! Tour duration 4+ hr

Captain Sebastian was super friendly and a fantastic communicator, making sure we had all the information we needed to make it to the launch ramp on time (directions, parking, etc.). We got lucky and caught a SpaceX launch from the boat, which was surreal to see. We opted for the V-day package which included flowers, chocolates, and balloons and really added to the ambience. Overall it was a magical night, and I highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique date night.

For starters I would like to say our tour guide was excellent,Thank you Lauren!…read moreMy wife and I are LA locals and my parents and sisters are from San Francisco. Between us we really didn't have much knowledge of Manhattan beach, but after today I can say I know more thanks to our very knowledgeable tour guide. Aside from her great knowledge of the history of Manhattan beach, she has excellent taste in food. We went to 6 different food places and one wine tasting stop. The food was delicious, home made from local owners. We walked to all our food destinations, but to be honest it's actually more hands on and personal this way. Everything was close by and easy to get too. Personal food favorites from our food tour was everything lol. But for me one stood out the most and that was from the Rock 'N' Fish restaurant ( Coconut crusted Mahi sliders with a mango slaw, avocado, and sweet chilli aoli) best appetizer hands down. It was all paired with The old Navy Grog beverage, which to be honest is a must try since it's been made and continues to be made since 1958. Definitely a must try for anyone that enjoys food and being outdoors! P.s. Lauren went above and beyond for us. We had gone out to celebrate with my family. We were celebrating the fact that my wife and I are expecting our first child together and that it's going to be a girl. Lauren went out of her way to get our group cookies :)

She shared some history and tips about MB I never would have known on my own. My bf and I were able to bring our dog, which was a huge plus. The town is dog friendly to begin with, so 6 out of the 7 places we stopped at we could bring our fur baby. Each stop, we ate something unique. By stop 4 I was stuffed, but the food was too good I couldn't stop eating. There was a wine tasting which was a great addition. I would definitely do this again and bring colleagues, friends or out-of-towners!
