About this tour

Discover Los Angeles’s coastal character on a private four-hour tour, from Marina del Rey’s busy harbor to the lively sands of Venice Beach. With private transportation and a live English-speaking guide, you can take in the shoreline at an easy pace and focus on the places that catch your eye.

Explore Marina del Rey, described as home to 7,000 boats, then see Venice Beach’s mix of performers and the Venice Canals, where mansions line waterways inaugurated in 1905 by Abbot Kinney. Continue to Santa Monica Pier, opened in 1909 and known for its landmark Ferris wheel above the Pacific. At the end of the tour, you can request a drop-off at the Getty Villa, a Roman-inspired museum with Greek and Roman art; transportation back from the museum is not included.

This Los Angeles coastal tour combines harbor views, beach culture, historic canals, and an iconic pier in one private outing. Meet under the lighthouse and enjoy a guided look at the coast.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
