Tom was a great tour guide! We were able to see LA and Beverly Hills top sites in a day. We booked our tour that morning and Tom picked us up at our hotel 30 minutes later. Tom was very knowledgeable. This was one of the highlights of our trip.

I did not actually take their shuttle. This is a review of their website and support. I booked a pick up at LAX for late night Monday, 15 July 2019. During the payment process that all showed correctly. After paying, the pick up showed as scheduled for midnight on 10 January 1970. I immediately called their support line as shown on the webpage. Their support line DID answer. That would be a point in their favor except the guy on the phone was so bad. I (admittedly was upset but not at all abusive) explained the issue. He told me it was MY fault that I had entered it wrong because the screen just takes whatever I entered. WTF?!?! Even if I did it wrong, why accuse the victim instead of addressing the issue?!?!? I called him a liar because that historical date was not even an option! He said he would cancel the reservation so I read him the code. I asked how I would receive cancellation confirmation and he just hung up. He did NOT cancel it. LIAR! Later I cancelled it from the webpage.

Whenever we travel, we always use trip advisor or yelp to make sure we have a memorable experience. We had a family of 6 visiting from overseas around the holidays and they were looking for a reliable tour service to give them the touristy experience of LA. Since it was a last minute plan, I was struggling to find a tour that could not only accommodate them, but at least had some decent reviews. I was nervous about booking Sea Pass since they had no reviews but they not only met my expectations, but they far exceeded them. The driver was on time, professional, knowledgeable, and according to my family, a very safe driver. With all the companies being more money driven rather than service, it was refreshing to experience something different. Would definitely recommend to family and friends!
