Itinerary

Expand All

Day 1: Start Los Angeles

Fred Gichohi
Switzerland HMD Advertising Group

Location: Los Angeles

Accommodation: Hotel

Accommodation Name: Kawada Hotel (or similar)

You have 3 days on the clock and your time starts NOW. Waste not a second exploring the parameters of this glitzy, gritty city filled with quirk and charm and many a drool-worthy celebrity. From the bars of Sunset Boulevard to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, it is your mission to leave no pebble of this place unturned. We'll hook you up with a 'ho ho', a 24 hour Hop-on-hop-off bus ticket, so you can get around with the top down on what is definitely one of the best ways to see the city. Staying in Little Tokyo, your hotel is in the beating heart of Downtown, a local launchpad right where the action is at.

Day 2: Los Angeles

Fred Gichohi
Switzerland HMD Advertising Group

Location: Los Angeles

Accommodation: Hotel

Accommodation Name: Kawada Hotel (or similar)

After just one day you'll most likely be aware how sprawling this metropolis is, so rise early and get the discoveries underway. Take your hop-on-hop-off sightseeing tour if you didn't do it yesterday, or if you feel like playing it local you could go kick it on Venice Beach and sip almond lattes whilst watching watching buskers and skaters. Love a bit of Mickey? Hit the amusement parks and let your inner 10 year old squeal with joy.

Day 3: End Los Angeles

Fred Gichohi
Switzerland HMD Advertising Group

Location: Los Angeles

My amazing trip to Africa

13-Jan-2023

Sherif was an excellent tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about every single small detail at each site that we visited. In addition to his great service, he has a glowing spirit that made me feel like I had family with me the entire trip. Anything that I was concerned about, he always had an answer and was there to help. I truly enjoyed my experience and will purchase a tour with him in the future
