We had the unexpected pleasure of meeting Timothy today while walking down from Griffith Observatory to our car, and what a wonderful encounter it was! Timothy was incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable, sharing so many interesting and relevant insights along the way. It was immediately clear that he is a talented and genuinely passionate guide who loves what he does. Even though we only spent a short time with him, we were so impressed that I would absolutely love to book a tour with Bikes and Hikes LA someday—and oh boy, I sure hope we get Timothy as our guide! He made our day and gave us a wonderful glimpse of what a tour with him must be like. Highly recommend!
