Overview

Embark on an adventure spanning from the sunny shores of San Diego to the bustling streets of Los Angeles.

No trip to Southern California is complete without immersing yourself in the glitz and glamour of the City of Angels. Leave behind the headache of navigating through congested traffic and instead, revel in the breathtaking vistas as you journey comfortably by train.

Our carefully curated San Diego to Los Angeles tours provide the perfect opportunity to explore renowned landmarks such as Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and Venice Beach at your own pace. Delight in the allure of Hollywood's entertainment scene, wander down the palm-lined boulevards of Beverly Hills, savor the sea breeze along Santa Monica's scenic coastline, and soak in the eclectic atmosphere of the lively Venice Beach boardwalk.

Treat yourself to a day brimming with captivating sights, intriguing tales, and unforgettable moments. Book today! We look forward to hosting you and your group!

Meeting and Pickup

Pickup point
Pickup details

Please note that you are responsible for the transportation to the Train Station in San Diego in the morning and getting home from the train station in San Diego in the evening after the train brings you back from LA. We book the round-trip train tickets for you through Amtrak, we handle your transportation in LA and we book you onto our semi-private daily sightseeing tour. This tour is usually 14 to 15 hours depending on the train station departure time (usually around 6am). We handle everything else in LA. We pick you up at Union Station and either take you back to the train station ourselves or we pay for a transfer to return you to Union Station at the conclusion of the tour. Gratuity for your tour guide is not included.
