Led by a friendly, knowledgeable guide, you’ll enjoy a smooth ride past celebrity homes, iconic landmarks, and lively hotspots like Sunset Plaza and Chateau Marmont.
What we love about this tour is the chance to drive a Ferrari California 2015 without the hassle of rental deposits or insurance worries. Plus, the addition of a co-pilot to navigate and share insider secrets helps keep the experience relaxed and engaging.
