The Getty Center and Griffith Observatory are two of LA’s best landmarks. See both in one perfect day on this private LA tour.
We’ll begin at the Getty, which features thousands of paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts inside and beautifully landscaped gardens outdoors. Your guide will show you the highlights on a 30-minute tour and allow an hour of free time so you can enjoy the art and grounds at your own pace. See paintings by Rembrandt and van Gogh, ancient Roman statues, French furniture, pottery, porcelain, and much more.
Then we’ll head to Griffith Observatory where we’ll enhance your experience by taking you on a curated journey through the exhibits. Here again, we’ll allow you plenty of free time to explore at your leisure.
And get ready for the incredible photos. There are so many Instagrammable shots at both locations. You’ll be blown away by these stellar West Coast views, and your guide is happy to take photos of your group.
