Review
"Your CD tour of Pasadena is great on a number of levels. Then there is the advice you render. All good. All useful. All accurate. The reality of driving along and recording your narrative at the same speed as a listener would be driving through these streets makes the CD come alive. Any tourist, out-of-state or local, would enjoy this CD." --David "Dr. Roadmap" Rizzo, Author of "Freeway Alternatives and Surviving The Drive!" and "How to Beat Freeway Traffic in Southern California"
Product Description
Pasadena is not the L.A. you expect. Just 15 minutes northeast of downtown Los Angeles, you ll see the Rose Bowl, legendary Greene & Greene architecture, world-class museums, and beautiful neighborhoods. It's also Hollywood's biggest back lot. You'll see over 50 movie and TV locations including American Pie II, Back to the Future, Beverly Hills Cop, Father of the Bride, Halloween, Jurassic Park II & III, Liar Liar, National Treasure, Old School, Alias, C.S.I., Fantasy Island, J.A.G. and many more.
In Pasadena you can have a great meal for two for what it costs to park in Beverly Hills or Santa Monica, then you can walk just a couple of blocks to see paintings of Van Gough, Monet, Cezanne, and Picasso at the Norton Simon Museum. Missed by most L.A. visitors, we guide you to the spectacular Huntington Library & Botanical Gardens. Just 5-minutes from downtown Pasadena, it contains spectacular art, rare manuscripts including a Gutenberg Bible, and over 100 acres of breath-taking gardens used as movie locations for The Wedding Planner, Memoirs of a Geisha, The West Wing, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and more. Just 10 minutes east, we also guide you to the jungles of Jurassic Park and Fantasy Island at the Los Angeles County Arboretum which is right across the street from Santa Anita Racetrack.
GPS units tell you exactly where places are but not why they're significant or just plain cool. Scott is a "local" whose family has been here 100 years and he shares local favorites, history, trivia, hidden treasures, and what international visitors told us they enjoyed most. He drives in real-time, guiding you street-by-street in small geographic areas which keeps you from driving all over the map wasting time and gas.
There's so much, so close, and so easy to see.
Do you really want to miss it?

The Best Audio Tour...EVER,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pasadena Audio Tour (Audio CD)
Gentlemen,
I just purchased Scott's LA - the Pasadena Tour for the second time. I have always had the CD in my CD Changer in my car so whenever an old friend would come 'home' for a visit, I could take them on the greatest tour of our home area that they ever been on in all the areas where we grew up in the 40s, 50s and 60s. I am talking about Pasadena, South Pasadena, San Marino, and the surronding areas. This tour is presented as a driving tour with perfect timing from the start point. By timing, I mean that this tour was thoroughly researched and is presented at a comfortable driving speed. I have lived in the area for 67 years and my Father also was born in the area. This tour took me to places that I never realized were there....like, the home of Mary SEE of SEEs Chocolate Candies where the business was started in her kitchen! The reason that I am buying it again is that I just sold my car in order to purchase a new car and the only thing that I forgot to empty was the six CD Changer! Everyone that I take on this tour is amazed at the professional presentation, the history, movie sets and other famous sites that are accurately described. I recommend all of Scott's LA Tours to anyone who wants to take (or give) a great tour of Pasadena (Home of the Rose Parade), Hollywood (We all know what that's about) and Los Angeles (What History!) Since I have all three of these, I only needed to replace Pasadena, But, they offer a great price for all three if bought together! I sound excited because I am.....It's that good! I've been on it about twenty times with a car full of guests and it never gets old! I also recommend that Real Estate Brokers hand it out to new home buyers on completion of their Escrow so the new owners can get familiar with their new location. And Family members that have relatives coming out for a visit-it's the perfect guided tour in your own car! Sincerely, WCB. This is an Amazon Verified Review.
