The stops, unlike other sightseeing tours we've used, were not marked at the roadside, so it wasn't clear were the bus stops were. The first bus we got on, the commentary did not work at our seat and the driver was asleep in the bus when we changed routes.

The holy experience was outstanding. The audio sincronized was great. I heard everything in portuguese/br. The buses are not new, but they are very adequate for the job. We knew the main sightseeing of Los Angeles in 2 days. Me and my family are very pleased.

The bus never arrived, we stayed at the bus stop in Santa Monica and waited for over an hour and the buses never turned up. I also contacted the support chat only to be told that the chat bot did not get my request, I also called the support line four times and was not able to speak to anyone. I was not able to use the two tickets that we bought and have not been able to get a refund, this service has been nothing short of terrible and it's not a service I would recommend as we had to purchase tickets from your competitor who provided the service as promised. Frankly, I want a refund of the money I paid for a service that was never received from Headout.

Aquarium support team had no idea who Headout was nor what the group meant nor where to meet a group. So we had to just head out on our own without ever meeting or finding a group.

Shark Lagoon, sting rays, sea turtles, seals and sea Bass were interesting to see. the presentation of the ocean protection/conservation efforts was an eye opener and made me rethink about how keeping the planet's oceans clean is very important. I really liked the visit. Will go back when I get a chance to visit CA next time
