Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great friendly informative tour of Los Angeles with Yuriy. We have seen and enjoyed beautiful views of most interesting sights in great Los Angeles city : West Hollywood, Santa Monica and Santa Barbara, Sunset Boulevard etc. Yuriy was very knowledgeable and fun to talk to about the city, its history, architecture and inhabitants. Russian traditional meal in Traktir restaurant reminds us our own history. Thank you Yuriy for lovely time in Los Angeles. The guide is highly recommended to anyone visiting the city and California.

We had the best LA tour. We have done other tours so there were things that we did not care to see again and LA Travel Tours (American Riviera Tours) was able to customize our tour. We did everything we wanted and then some. Our tour guide Yuriy was fantastic. He was so informative and friendly. We had such a great time! I would recommend this tour company to anyone looking for a comprehensive tour of Hollywood and Los Angeles.

While on a cruise ex San Pedro, my family and I decided to try book a half day sightseeing tour of LA. between our cruise-end and our flight departure later that day. I contacted a number of tour companies but American Riviera Private Tours really impressed with their willingness to accommodate our needs and with their flexibility & trust in sorting out tour payment. We were met promptly by the wonderful Yuriy at the port. Our bags were loaded and we set off on an action packed 5-hour tour of the sights. Yuriy was very knowledgeable and entertaining throughout. Nothing was too much trouble and he was willing to do whatever it took to make our tour enjoyable. I would highly recommend this company - great value for money, flexible and fun!

We booked a private day tour of Los Angeles after coming back from a cruise. Yuriy was a wonderful tour guide and very informative. We went to all the major sights such as the Hollywood sign, Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, the Walk of Fame and more. He allowed ample time to stop and take pictures. After our tour was complete, we were dropped off at LAX.

We would highly recommend Yuriy and the LA tour! We enjoyed a detailed 5 hour tour of numerous LA locations. Yuriy was very knowledgeable, entertaining and prepared with umbrellas! He ensured we had lots of group pictures. He even took us to a great Brazilian BBQ for a meal. We really appreciated the last minute accommodation and the pickup and drop off at LAX. Thank you for an enjoyable afternoon!

Recently took a tour to the Ronald Reagan Library. Our tour guide and owner Yuri was outstanding. He was very informative and shared many facts and interesting stories. He was on time for our hotel pick up and was extremely pleasant. When we return to the LA we will most definitely use his services again. I highly recommend this tour company.

There were 5 of us sisters from 3 different states, with 1 day to see as much of LA as possible. Yuriy, our driver/guide, did a great job of showing us the city. He picked us up timely and took us wherever we wanted to go, all the while driving smoothly (we are SO glad none of us needed to drive in LA traffic). We enjoyed "playing tourist" in several popular areas - downtown LA, Grauman's Chinese Theatre, Dolby Theatre, Griffith Observatory, viewing the Hollywood sign, etc.
Yuriy was very knowledgable and had a good sense of timing, never hurrying us and willing to wait longer when we needed more time for pictures or exploring, but still managing to show us a great variety of areas in our planned 8 hours. He filled slow traffic time by playing several videos (2-5 minutes long) in the vehicle that were both entertaining and informative.
For a group, a private tour is the way to go - flexible, efficient and tailored to your taste. We all would highly recommend Yuriy for such a tour.

Tour guide Yuri took my wife and I around LA. Got to see all we asked for and a bit more very enjoyable. Yuri was great - very informative but good fun as well.
Never rushed plenty of time to see what you wanted at each stop.
Transport was very comfortable - great way to kill time if you have a stopover at LAX
