INSIDER TIPS

Tips from Our Expert Guides

Make the most of your Anaheim to Santa Monica tour with these expert recommendations

01

Wear Layers

Mornings are cool, afternoons warm. Layers keep you comfortable all day long, especially at the Santa Monica beach where ocean breezes can be chilly.

02

Charge Your Phone

Expect lots of photos. A backup battery or full charge before pickup keeps you shooting all day at the pier and beach.

03

Bring Cash

Pier and boardwalk vendors often prefer cash. Handy for food, souvenirs, and beach buys.

04

Sit Right Side

For the best views of the Hollywood Hills and Pacific coast, grab a seat on the right side of the coach.

05

Ask Your Guide

Guides know the best Ferris wheel photo spots and boardwalk eats — just ask.

06

Light Breakfast

We leave early. Have a small bite before pickup; you'll get a full lunch at Farmers Market and Santa Monica time afterward.
