Had the best time with Gregory - such a nice tour guide and learned a lot about LA history and got some pretty awesome views :) Definitely recommend to book this amazing experience

Take a guided hike in Griffith Park to enjoy the stunning views of the Hollywood Sign, Griffith Observatory and LA skyline. Throughout the course of the hike we will ascend the equivalent of 15 flights of stairs at a leisurely pace and take frequent stops to admire the views and hear about the history of this beautiful terrain. Often there are film crews shooting scenes along this trail, who knows who we might spot? As we approach the belly of Griffith Observatory, the iconic Hollywood Sign will come into view and provide a spectacular backdrop to your photos that will make you the envy of all your friends. Get close to the REAL stars at Griffith Observatory, LA’s renowned astronomy museum, with its sweeping terraces. You have the option of entering the building (closed Mondays) after the tour or take the short hike back with your guide. Designed by a former Observatory employee, no other tour presents the history, beauty and context of this area quite like we do, come find out why!

It was a great hike. Your shoes should have good treads on the bottom, can be slippery! Gregory knew a lot of fun facts and had a good history of California

Despite having received two confirmation emails from Hikes and Bikes, we received a text at the appointed time of departure for the tour canceling the tour stating they had an internal communication error and didn’t have a guide assigned for us. They did promptly provide a e refund. It was disappointing because we were looking forward to this tour.

I had such a great time hiking Griffith Park with Paul Norris! The route took us through Los Feliz and up to the Griffith Observatory, with fantastic views of the Hollywood Sign along the way. Paul was incredibly knowledgeable about the area’s history and landmarks, and made the experience fun and informative. He also helped me find parking, suggested other nearby attractions, and gave a great lunch recommendation. Highly recommend booking this tour—Paul’s a fantastic guide and made the day truly memorable!
