Thank you so much Lou for such a fantastic time! The day flew by but we had just the right amount of time spent in every area we visited. Your information and professionalism was on point. There is no way we would have seen half of what you took us to if we didn't book with you! The ride was comfortable, the water was cold and lunch was spot on! We highly recommend everyone take the private LA tour!

We took the private tour to Temecula from Newport Beach. Lou was wonderful. Very attentive and provided awesome info about the area and various spots along the drive. We were able to visit two wineries, taking our time at each, and a long lunch (with more wine). We could have gone to more wineries if we wanted to; just would have had to have shorter stays at each. He made sure we were comfortable and taken care of at each stop. We had a wonderful time.

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!
