We requested a customized tour for a short time of just three and a half hours, but it turned out to be even more fulfilling and enjoyable than we expected. During the drive, they shared many interesting stories with their extensive knowledge of the city’s history, as well as music, movies, and sports related to the area. Since I am not good at English, they also helped me while shopping by listening to product explanations on my behalf and supporting me all the way through payment, which was very helpful. I would definitely like to ask for their help again next time.

I came to Los Angeles with my sister to watch a Dodgers game, but I also wanted to visit Michael Jackson’s grave, so I booked this tour. We visited places related to Michael Jackson, as well as new murals of Dodgers players. They also gave us recommendations for a great lunch spot and advice on choosing souvenirs at the supermarket, so we had a very fulfilling time. I especially recommend this tour for places that are difficult to access by public transportation. They also shared a lot of helpful information about local safety, which was very useful. In Japan, there is sometimes information suggesting that even relatively safe areas are dangerous, but because they know the local area so well, they were able to give us accurate and practical advice.

My family of three joined this tour. To put it simply, this is a tour that anyone who loves movies should absolutely experience! Mr. Imai has an amazing spirit of hospitality. He did not just take us to famous places; he also shared many stories and behind-the-scenes episodes related to movies. His deep knowledge and love for films really came through, and as a movie lover myself, I enjoyed every moment of the drive. The whole day flew by in no time. ✨ We were also impressed by his flexible and warm service from the very beginning. When he arrived at our hotel earlier than scheduled, he contacted us and said, “If you would like, we can start a little earlier.” During the tour, he adjusted to our pace and interests, and when we asked if it might be possible to stop at a place that was not originally planned as a drop-off point, he kindly agreed with a smile. If we had not been able to stop there, I think we would have regretted it, so we are truly grateful for Mr. Imai’s generous, heartfelt, and service-minded approach. ✨ Furthermore, when my father accidentally left something behind at one of the places we visited near the end of the tour, Mr. Imai immediately contacted the shop and even went all the way back to help us. As a result, the tour ended about two hours later than planned, but he never showed the slightest sign of annoyance. Instead, he kept the atmosphere in the car positive by sharing his own past mistakes and talking with us in a cheerful way. We are sincerely grateful for his wonderful personality. We feel truly lucky to have met Mr. Imai during this trip. ✨ As a sightseeing experience and as a movie-themed tour, it was extremely satisfying. More than that, it became an unforgettable experience for our whole family. Thank you so much. 🌸✨

This was my second time using this service. Just like last time, when I told them a few places I wanted to visit, they suggested a plan for us, which was very helpful. Even when I forgot something right at the beginning or had trouble figuring out my smartphone settings, they kindly thought of ways to help solve the issues. Thanks to their support, it became a very enjoyable trip. Thank you very much.

Mr. Imai, who assisted us last time, accompanied us again this time. His service was excellent before, but this time he exceeded our expectations once again, and we were able to enjoy our stay with complete peace of mind. He kindly and carefully supported us with transportation, sightseeing, and even small questions, which made us feel very reassured. He also flexibly accommodated our requests, and thanks to him, we were able to spend a very fulfilling time. If we have another opportunity to visit Los Angeles, we would definitely like to ask for his help again. Thank you very much!
