Los Angeles Tours: 10 Reasons Tour Companies Are Best

Los Angeles tours are the best choice when exploring the City of Angels, whether you’re a first-time visitor, an experienced tourist, or even a local resident.

Let’s look at 10 reasons why.

1. Your guide enhances your Los Angeles tour

When you explore Los Angeles, going with a professional tour guide makes the experience better. After all, it’s their job to show you a side of the city that is unique and unforgettable.

Take, for instance, our Celebrity Homes E-Bike Tour, which takes you through the manicured tree-lined lanes of the fabled 90210 neighborhood. It’s an incredible tour that highlights some of the most amazing homes in the entire Los Angeles area.

But this is just one example. Whether it be a celebrity home tour, a Segway Tour, or something else, your guide will reveal the city’s special hidden gems.

2. Your guide knows the real Los Angeles inside and out

It’s tempting to think you can discover everything about Los Angeles online, but Los Angeles is a big, diverse city. To experience the real deal, you have to go in person, and a professional tour is the best way to do that.

Moreover, your guide can give you a window into the local atmosphere and how things work. Their inside perspective helps you experience Los Angeles like a local, not just a tourist, whether it be finding the best happy hour spots or discovering beautiful sunset viewpoints overlooking the city.

3. You can relax because your tour company does the planning

Did you know that LA spans roughly 470 square miles? The city also has approximately 6,500 miles of streets and is home to more than 500,000 businesses. So, as you can imagine, planning a Los Angeles tour can be tough. There are so many options!

How do you figure out where to go when there is so much to do and explore? Well, if you’re scratching your head and wondering about this, a good solution is to contact a reputable Los Angeles tour company like Another Side Tours.

At Another Side Tours, we save you hours of research so that you can spend more time relaxing and enjoying the best of Los Angeles. We know the best locales in the entire city, and we can take you there.

4. Rather than waste time looking for the best local spots, your guide will show you

Again, why spend hours and hours researching local offerings when your tour company already knows the best spots?

We’ve spent years exploring Los Angeles, finding hidden gems, and building partnerships with local businesses. Every one of our LA tours highlights a special part of the city that we can’t wait to share with you!

5. Your Los Angeles tour is time-managed

In addition to showing you the best parts of Los Angeles, a tour company offers you a time-managed experience. This is important in a city with something incredible around practically every corner, where it’s very easy to spend an entire day in one small area.

Our tour times and how they benefit you, the guest:

When it comes to time management, every tour company has a different approach. At Another Side Tours, our tours typically run about 2 hours, sometimes less, sometimes more. For example, our Runyon Canyon Hiking Tour & Picnic is approximately 4 hours, so we do have some outliers.

However, before you go on a tour, you have a close estimate of how long it will take so that you can plan the rest of your day accordingly.

This is super beneficial because, when you’re on vacation, while you definitely may want to soak in the experience, you also likely do not want to spend too much time in one place, even if it’s a good place. If your vacation is only seven days, and you have thirty spots you want to visit, you’ll naturally want to prioritize.

This is where we can help you. We’ve perfected the art of pacing, ensuring you get the full experience of each location without overextending the stops. Our carefully timed tours help you tick off your bucket list while leaving room for other activities in your day.

6.  Your guide helps you avoid mistakes that tourists often make

Here’s another reason why tour companies are the right choice when touring Los Angeles: You avoid mistakes that tourists often make, such as falling for tourist traps.

Think of it: How often do online recommendations mislead people, taking them to overcrowded tourist traps or just generally underwhelming experiences? You might have had a bad experience yourself when trusting a random online review!

Getting stuck in traffic is another issue, and it can really hurt your vacation. Imagine crawling along in bumper-to-bumper traffic when you could be enjoying the beauty of LA, all because you got stuck in gridlock on the 405.

When you work with a tour company, you bypass tourist traps, traffic jams, and other subpar experiences.

PS Los Angeles traffic can be especially unpredictable and far more challenging than most cities. Our carefully planned Segway Tours and E-Bike Tours maximize your exploration time and minimize frustration.

7. With a Los Angeles tour, you know the price before you book

Another reason tour companies are the best is you know what you’re paying for upfront. Of course, you need to work with a reputable and proven tour company like Another Side Tours that will treat you right and not try to slip in hidden costs.

Transparency in pricing is important to us and crucial to you when planning your Los Angeles adventure. That’s why we eliminate the financial guesswork. No hidden fees, no surprise charges – just clear, upfront pricing that lets you plan your LA experience with confidence.

8. You experience more for your money with a Los Angeles tour

In addition to knowing what you’re going to pay upfront, you get more value for your money when you work with a good tour company.

9. Your Los Angeles tour gives you amazing photo opportunities

Have we mentioned photos yet? Because we should. Today, capturing the perfect shot is an essential part of any LA tour. After all, what’s a trip to Los Angeles without a photo of the iconic Hollywood Sign or a sweeping cityscape photo from Runyon Canyon Park?

Our professional guides know exactly where the picture-perfect locations are so that you can share your best Los Angeles moments with your Instagram audience. Beyond the obvious landmarks, we’ll take you to lesser-known locations where you can capture another side of Los Angeles.

10. You have more fun with a Los Angeles tour company!

Let’s be honest – while all the practical benefits are important, the real magic of a guided tour is the pure enjoyment factor.

With an experienced tour company, you get the advantage of working with experts who specialize in making your experience a blast.

The best guided tours have an atmosphere of excitement and discovery that makes your time exploring that much more awesome.
