    Dave has clearly mastered the art of showing off Malibu. Travelers consistently praise his deep knowledge of the area's history, celebrity homes, and hidden spots along the Pacific Coast Highway. He strikes that perfect balance between being informative and entertaining, packing tours with interesting facts while keeping things fun and relaxed. People appreciate his flexibility too, with several mentioning how he happily makes spontaneous stops when guests spot something they want to explore. The Malibu tour comes up again and again as a highlight, featuring scenic stops at Point Dume and Zuma Beach, plus great photo opportunities throughout. Dave's local expertise shines through in his restaurant recommendations and insights about the area's recovery from recent fires. First-time California visitors and LA regulars alike call this their best tour experience in the region. The personal, down-to-earth vibe makes it feel less like a commercial tour and more like exploring with a knowledgeable friend who genuinely loves sharing his hometown.

    Y'all... This tour is amazing. Malibu is beautiful and Dave is amazing. It's interesting, has great views, and unhurried. If you want to see Malibu and the PCH without a car this is by far the best way to do it. This is a gem and so different than what the average traveler does. Well with your time and money. Thank you Dave!
