Our tour guide Angelica was very helpful and so adorable!! She was well versed in her knowledge about the observatory!! She taught us several new things. I really enjoyed her!
*Disclaimer!*
Be well prepared for an extensive journey just to reach the observatory! It’s an incredibly difficult job to get parking and if you do, be prepared to walk uphill just to get there! This is no fault of Viator or our tour guide.

Estevan was a great guide. He shared interesting and fun facts. He hit all the high points, and his recommendation for the planetarium show was perfect. Great time.

Great way to spend an afternoon. Don’t miss the views but don’t skip the planetarium. We enjoyed our trip there and got great views of the Hollywood sign too.

Jeff- by far - he made it such an enjoyable experience - very knowledgeable and very helpful as I’m disabled - we could ask questions and had all the answers and just a small group made it easier - by far the better way to see everything and get an understanding of it all in layman’s terms

Michael was witty and knowledgeable. The tour was worth every penny. I was pleasantly surprised about the extra information that was given that we wouldn’t have known without a guide.
