"Andrew is very knowledgeable about the area, the plants, and the history. The experience was very immersive. I enjoyed learning about the Chumash people, and the history of the park. The experience is well-curated and well-thought-out. It was not crowded. I felt like I was getting the special and magical parts of LA/Malibu that we dont hear or see in the brochures. Thanks so much for all your work and preparation for this experience! It shows how much you care about the land and guests!"

"Andrew is literally a fun version on an encyclopedia.. he is so knowledgeable and fun.. approachable and kind.. We learned so much from him.. and saw amazing views…"
-Ana, November 2023
"Andrew is awesome! He took us to two separate locations that we would have never gone on our own. He is very knowledgeable about the local history, vegetation, wildlife and secret spots. He’s very passionate about sharing the trails and keeping them pristine. I highly recommend… you will not be disappointed. Thanks Andrew!!! :)"
-Jennifer, October 2023
"This was one of the best experiences I've had in my life. He was an amazing tour guide, you can tell he cares about the environment and in general. Definitely looking forward to future hikes with Andrew!!!"
-Danielle, October 2023
"Andrew was very knowledgeable about local ecosystems and native history. He also went out of his way to be flexible with scheduling, which we appreciated. He is clearly very enthusiastic about the nature and wildlife of Malibu and we enjoyed this experience!"
-Jesse, September 2023
"The hike proved to be truly amazing, offering a wealth of fascinating insights, breathtaking vistas, and perfect weather conditions. Andrew told a lot of interesting things about the area and the people who lived in this area previously and the plants."
-Anna, September, 2023
"Absolutely amazing experience. Andrew is a great guy and spirit. I chose to do this for a healing activity to bring me closer to nature, also to explore a place in Malibu less traveled. It did just that and more. I learned so much during this hike and also had very special moments with the wilderness along the path. It was very special, I will definitely go back to this hike location and also explore another with Andrews guidance and knowledge! 10/10 recommended!"
-Aldo, September 2023
"Andrew was a fantastic hiking guide! He knew the best spots to see amazing views and knew so much about the history of the land and all the plants and creatures we came across"
-Makayla, August 2023
"Andrew is phenomenal! He is a treat to be around. As a solo traveler It can be tough to do things by yourself but Andrew made me feel so comfortable and we had some wholesome conversations. We had some great laughs & intellectual talks about the earth & history! His vast knowledge & passion of the land was really inspiring. He was very flexible with me and went above and beyond. If you are unsure if you should book a tour (like I was) I’d say go for it!! He’s a gem! I’m not sure you’ll find anything quite like this in the area."
-Lauren, July 2023
"This was a fantastic experience. Andrew took me to beautiful parks and trails that I never would have discovered on my own. The scenery was extraordinary. We went to one park where we barely encountered any other people. It was like having a huge state park to oneself -- with a fantastic guide. I highly recommend this tour. It was a very special and memorable experience. Andrew is a fantastic guide. He is extremely friendly and personable, and he is passionate about California's natural beauty and history. He has an encyclopedic knowledge about the plants, animals, and history of the region, and he is a great storyteller. I was the only person who had signed up for the tour I took, so I had the pleasure of a private tour led by a conservationist. I definitely plan to take another hike with Andrew on future visits to Los Angeles."
-Michael, July 2023
"loved the nature experience with Andrew, he is so passionate and knowledgeable about the area and even gives options to customize our adventure. I would still go back and do a hike with him again. :)"
-Katie, December 2022
"Andrew was an amazing guide!! We loved the hikes, his knowledge, and the easy-going nature. We would definitely go out with him again."
-Kelly, May 2022
"Andrew was hands-down one of the best guides I've ever had! He personalized the tour to my needs and shared a wealth of knowledge about the history of the area. He guided us to some truly magical spots (not easily found without a guide). I was deeply moved by the beauty of the landscape and vistas. I HIGHLY recommend the hike with Andrew. He is so down to earth, friendly, and mindful of the world and the people around him. 5 STARS!!!"
-George, March 2022
"You haven’t seen Malibu until you’ve seen Malibu with West Friends. This hike came highly recommended by a friend who’d gone on one last fall, and I’m truly glad that I took her advice. The views are literally stunning, and I thoroughly enjoyed the hike itself. Best of all, I walked away feeling really connected to Malibu—to its natural landscape, to its beauty and cultural history, and to the plants and animals who make their home here—all thanks to Andrew’s vast knowledge about the area and his excellent guiding skills. Tip: if he gives you the choice to stay where you are or to hike a little bit farther, choose the latter, because something beautiful is right around the corner. :-) This ecocultural adventure is a wonderful way to get to know the land you’re standing on, AND it becomes a great memory to take with you afterwards. Highly recommend!"
-Shelby, February 2022
These guys are truly amazing. Their knowledge of the native plants, how the non native plants arrived, and history of CA made the hike a very special experience. We were lucky enough to see several birds on the hike and they were equipped with binoculars so we could get a closer look at plants and the birds. We brought all 3 of our kids and who loved the hike and still talking about it! Their ability to keep a 4, 6 and 12 year old excited for 4 hours was a real treat for us. We can't wait to book another hike with Andy and Kyle.
-Amy, January 2022
"Simply the most amazing hike I have ever been on. Great views, untouched landscapes, a wonderful and knowledgeable and kind guide who has a contagious passion for the land. Highly recommend!"
-Mary, January 2022
"Andrew is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and energetic. This was a perfect experience to learn more about Malibu’s history and landscape, see incredibly beautiful sites, and hike with awesome views. Don’t hesitate to book this when you’re in the area. I highly recommend and would hike with Andrew again!!!"
-Jennifer, October 2021
"This hike was fantastic! We went to two locations, and ended with the most amazing sunset. Andrew is super friendly and knows a lot about local ecology. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone in the LA area."
-Sam, July 2021
"This hike was amazing. Andrew knew everything about everything. From the history of the the land to the names of plants. I was so impressed. Will definitely be booking another hike when we return!"

-Shelby, May 2021
"We booked a hike with our tour guide, Andy. We have a 2 and a 4 year old and explained our situation. He was informative about our options and was very prompt with his responses. Andy was super kind, had a great attitude, had a lot of very good history and information to share, which obviously make the hike 10x more fun than it would have been without him being there. The kids loved absolutely loved the hike, and the parents did too. I've lived in LA my whole life and have never heard of Tuna Canyon, and I've been on quite a few hikes in the area. There were many trails to explore, and it was just great having such a knowledgeable guide share the history and stories of the land. Definitely an A+ and we'll for sure be coming back with West Friends. Completely worth it and more! Thank you!"
-Dagan, May 2021
"Andy is treasure trove of botany, anthropology, and all things local. He selected a spectacular location as the backdrop for our educational hike. What a delightful escape from Los Angeles. He also recommended a lovely restaurant called Sunset. Perfect hike followed by perfect meal with a view."
-Max, April 2021
"This hike was gorgeous, thorough, and gave me a fantastic perspective of a place I’ve dreamed about but hardly knew. I’m so grateful to Andy for his work and passion, and happy I was able to book this experience. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys the outdoors and would like a little more context about what they’re looking at. A must-do for any and everyone"
-Tana, March 2021
"Myself, husband and our 8 year old were staying in the area and wanted to plan some outdoor activities. We usually like to do our own thing while visiting somewhere, but I came across Andy's tour and it just seemed perfect for us and what we came to the area for. After talking to Andy on the phone, he got us super excited and we booked the 4 hour tour. We learned about the native (and non-native plants), as well as the animals and the lesser known facts about the area and it's original inhabitants. We saw things and went to areas that I'm positive we would have never found ourselves. We walked away with such an appreciation of the area and a much deeper connection overall with nature. We have Andy and his passion to thank for it. We went to another location that was just as spectacular-- again, I don't think we could have found it ourselves. Andy made us feel included and welcome in his journey and we are walking away from the experience better humans for it. Don't hesitate to book a hike with West Friends, even if you live in the area. What they offer is what we need more of, now more than ever to protect and appreciate our natural world. We certainly hope to do another when we are back in town. In the meantime, we will take with us a new friendship and a sense of responsibility to care for our fragile Earth. Thanks again, Andy!"
-Lauren, March 2021
" Thank you for opening my eyes to the expansiveness of the Santa Monica mountains! I grew up in LA and never knew there was so much to explore. Andy and the West Friends team helped me completely customize my experience for me and my friends. We asked for a hike with ocean views and wild life and he took us on a glorious 4 hour excursion where we saw a red tailed hawk, 100+ year old oak trees and million years old fossils! I was blown away by Andy’s knowledge of the habitat and his devotion to preserving the indigenous species. Can’t wait to book another hike once the wild flowers bloom and join them on one of their community beach clean ups! Thank you thank you thank you!"

-Leslie, February 2021
"Our hike happened to land on a Windy and Cold day, however Andrew truly did his best and made sure we got as much out of it as possible. We visited some nice spots and got some good history information. I'd recommend this guided hike to everyone."
-Haibert, February 2021
"Such a great experience from the locations we hiked to the conversation. I wouldn’t have found the spots we visited on my own and now can return and have such a greater appreciation for the locations than I would have otherwise. Andrew knows a lot about the history of the area and the wildlife in the area. Highly recommend if you are visiting or a local."
-Meagan, January 2021
"What an excellent experience! Andy is a knowledgeable guide and educator whose love for environmental sustainability becomes infectious and inspiring. he has a gentle and scientific approach to explaining history, plants and wildlife. we were very impressed with his stories and enthusiasm. the hike was wonderful, and the company was better. the world needs more Andy’s, thank you for the wonderful day."
-Yari, January 2021
"Andrew absolutely loves what he does and it shows. He has found some absolutely magical locations in Malibu, cares deeply about the land and the history, and tells stories along your discovery hike that you can’t help but to be super engaged by. Do this hike...don’t think about it!"
-Vineet, January 2021
"Andy is a wonderful guide. He is very knowledgeable about the area and loves wildlife. I got a chance to see so many wild animals that I have never seen before. I learned local ecosystem, biodiversity and the history of the local Chumash people. We had two hiking tours each was about 2 hours. One beach hiking and one mountain hiking with ocean view."
-Keren, November 2020
"We spent a week in California exploring different cities and our hike with Andrew takes the cake! He was not only super friendly and fun, but extremely knowledgeable. It gave us a huge appreciation for the city and its history and beauty. He was thoughtful on his tour and had endless recommendations. This will not disappoint!"
-Sarah, November 2020
"Andrew is the best! He is very knowledgeable and taught me a lot about the environment and plants which I thoroughly enjoyed! On top of that, he is a photographer so his iPhone camera skills are wayyyy better than mine; thanks to him, I have some good pictures to look back on to remember this cool hike haha anyways can’t wait to come back and go on more hikes with Andrew!!! Highly recommend his hikes!!"
-Alice, November 2020
"Andrew was a wonderful personable guide. He tailored the tour/hike to our wants and showed us a part of California that we never knew existed. He was kind and courteous and really cared about showing us his corner of the world. Highly recommend this tour in Malibu."
-Penny, November 2020
"Andrew is resourceful, knowledgeable and most importantly super passionate about the history and magic of the land. We especially enjoyed learning about the native history of Malibu, native plant and animal specifies that thrive in this area, and conservation efforts for what remains wild in Malibu. Wild Malibu is not something we expected on a hike but a greatly treasured experience. I could sit and take in the views Andrew shared with us for days and days. Thank you so much for sharing these slices of magic with us Andrew."
-Angela, October 2020
"I highly recommend this experience to anyone who seeks real and authentic connection to the history and nature of the surrounding area of Malibu. Andrew is the best guide and full of knowledge and passion for natural habitat. 5 💫 experience 100%! Andrews care, protectiveness and love for flora and fauna of the region shines through like a diamond. A real treasure ⚡️"
-Lulia, March 2020
"I had the most amazing time on this experience ever - Andrew knows so much about this area and the plants and the animals! We saw so many beautiful flowers and even a whale on the beach. I highly recommend this hiking trip - and it was easy and at the same time challenging enough. Just perfect. Thank you for this unforgettable experience, Andrew!"
-Aila, March 2020
"My 20 year old daughter and myself decided to book this hike at the last minute and Andrew was very nice and accommodating. The hike was wonderful with fabulous views of the city and rock formations. Andrew grew up and still lives in the area and was very knowledgeable and shared several stories. He’s very fun and personable! The hike was the highlight of our short trip to Malibu. I would highly recommend this hike!!"
-Alicia, March 2020
"A very unique experience hiking with Andrew. He is very knowledgeable not only of the plants and wildlife animals in the Malibu area but also shared with us the history of indigenous people here in California. It helped us to really understand the area. We also learned about the fire of 2018 and saw the aftermath as well as resilience of nature. It is very special experience! Thank you!"
-Chenyu, March 2020
"My boyfriend and I live locally and despite I thought a hike in that area would be a valuable and unique experience. Andrew met mine and our expectation and exceeded them. Not only was the path thoughtfully picked, we also felt that we connected on a personal level and it made the experience a very memorable one. Thank you Andrew and lots of continued fun in nature. :) We’d like to join you again!!"
-Stephanie and Nathan, March 2020
"Great experience! Andrew is very personable and knowledgeable. He loves what he does and it really shows. It was very informative and “matter of fact” at the same time. Loved it!"
-Mila, March 2020
"Une expérience originale pour découvrir une autre facette plus nature de Los Angeles . Une vue unique sur la ville et un guide passionné et passionnant"
"An original experience to discover another more natural facet of Los Angeles. A unique view over the city and a passionate and exciting guide"
-Sebastien, February 2020
"This was a phenomenal experience! Andrew is super knowledgeable about the wildlife and the history in the area. He is a great conversationalist and willing to customize your experience based on your interest. Would definitely do this again and highly recommend it for anyone in the area"
-Paula, February 2020
"It was magical and healing, the power of nature, feeling of freedom, words can’t explain. For someone lives in a busy city, this two hours’ experience can recharge you for at least a month. Every ounce of negative thoughts and every awful thing suddenly becomes insignificant. Andrew actually grew up there and explained a lot of nature, history. It was fun and don’t think I was that happy for a while when standing on top of a rock facing LA sun. It was uplifting, highly recommend!"
-Ivy, February 2020
"Highly recommended. Andrew has a great sense of local history and culture and obviously really cares about the place."
-Shiv, February 2020
"Andrew was great and informative and knew alot about the culture and surroundings. Kept conversation interesting and fun"
-Alexis, February 2020
"The afternoon was so lovely and Andrew feels like a new very knowledgeable and fun friend! There were three parts that made this exactly what I was looking for: 1) a connection to nature in a special way (I now know two new gorgeous places in my “backyard” I would have never known about otherwise — thank you Andrew for customizing it all for me all along the way!) 2) a connection to another human being...sharing ourselves honestly as we hiked and 3) being sparked to keep going, keeping the gift of nature and hiking in my life on a regular basis and bringing others on the journey with me. Thank you Andrew!!!!"
-Michelle, February 2020
"Andrew is a great caring and passionate host! I had a great time learning from him and seeing all the majestic beautiful sights! It's a treat to see this so close from the city, so I would recommend anyone to go on this. My tip would be - communicate with Andrew, the host as much as you wish and dont be shy, because he will be so accomodating and make your trip that much better. It was my first time on such hikes but enjoyed each aspect and wish I could stay longer"
-Eriko, February 2020
"I had an amazing time on this tour! Everything was perfect (communication, choice of locations, organization of transport, consideration of individual preferences). Andrew is a great tour guide and really knows his stuff, you could really tell how passionate he is. I highly recommend this experience."
-Julia, February 2020
"The whole experience is dope! Andrew is a cool guy with great vibes and energy. The hike was beautiful. Perfect location, perfect weather - everything. The paths were lite and still felt like a nice hike. This is a great date alternative and also good for those who are new to the area and don't quite know the where the jewels are. Andrew definitely knew his stuff and gave us an experience we've been smiling about ever since."
-Tiffany, January 2020
"It was awesome! Andrew is an excellent host, he is friendly, entertaining and passionate by the nature, which makes the experience even more interesting. We had a wonderful day with him, and the views/landscapes were breathtaking!!! Thank you again:)"
-Sarah-Maude, January 2020
"Andrew was the most wonderful thoughtful and knowledgeable host...Highly recommend spending a couple of hours with him!"
-Catherine, January 2020
"Andrew led us on a gorgeous hike that included incredible knowledge of the ancient Chumash civilization that first lived on the land before us, and spectacular views. Definitely recommend a hike with Andrew!"
-Jordanna, December 2019
"Hiking with Andrew was a blast! I opted for the short hike but had so much fun that we went ahead and did the long one! I saw parts of Malibu I could’ve never found myself and Andrew was VERY knowledgeable and passionate about what he does! He can name every plant, give you tons of facts about the history and background of the area, and shared his passion for the local wildlife with me. It was a pleasure getting to pick his brain while seeing some of the most beautiful scenery i’ve ever seen. Don’t pass up on this opportunity!!! I was staying in downtown LA and it was about a 30+ minute uber out but the train would be much faster!"
-Ashlyn, December 2019
"I had a wonderful time adventuring with Andrew during my short stay in Malibu. He was extremely knowledgeable and I learnt a huge amount about the history of Malibu, as well as about the local flora and fauna. I would highly recommend this experience to others. Thanks again for being so accommodating!"
-Elaine, December 2019
"Great adventure! Andrew structured a tour to do exactly what we wanted. We had a terrific time, went on a gorgeous hike and learned a lot. Highly recommend."
-Margot, November 2019
"We loved being guided by Andrew! It's a very good company, with a lot of knowledge and sympathy! We were pleasantly surprised and were not ready to receive as much scenic beauty... This circuit is undoubtedly the full beauty that I have done in my life. The landscape, the colors, the effects of shadows and lights, it's like in a dream. A very very beautiful experience for us. To redo 1000 times !!!! Thanks again to Andrew who was great from start to finish."
-Inès, November 2019
"Andrew had a great personality, and a lot of personal knowledge and experience of the Malibu hills. It was a unique hiking experience that I would recommend for anyone seeking a Malibu hiking adventure."
-Evelyn, November 2019
"I had an amazing time adventuring with Andrew! He is a great storyteller and knows a lot of natural history about the area. He was considerate and accommodated my hiking abilities. I never would have had the opportunity to explore the nature of LA without Andrew’s guidance. Plus, he took some great photos!"
-Melisa, November 2019
"This was a really enjoyable outing with Andrew. I wanted to know about the first nations history and the historic and current management of the land and the flora and fauna. And walk to some beautiful spots which I would NEVER have found on my own. The more questions you ask of Andrew, the more you will learn."
-Sid, November 2019
"My experience on this hike was AWESOME!!!!! I left feeling like I made a friend! I also left with a boat load of knowledge he shared with me along the way. Andrew has a true passion and understanding of the nature around him which made it that much more special. Before you book your touristy hike to see the Hollywood sign I HIGHLY recommend you book this instead. Truly an unbeatable experience. Thanks Andrew!"
-Marissa, November 2019
"Andrew is a wonderful storyteller, I was impressed with how much he taught me about Malibu culture and history in such a short time. The scenic views were breathtaking! Andrew goes out of the way to personalize the experience so I got to see really beautiful mountain tops and ocean views with one experience."
-Uma, October 2019
"Although I live close by, I chose this experience because I realized there is so much in nature to explore and felt I could benefit from the knowledge of an expert. With his wildlife educational and work background, Andrew exceeded my expectations. He gave myself and my friend several hike options to choose from and took us to a place I wouldn’t have discovered on my own. I was thrilled to see a colony of sea lions and osprey in the air. Andrew took the time to point out and explain the impact of different invasive and native plants, the topography of the area, and helpful tips of different options to explore for next time. He also utilized his photography skills to take memorable pictures for us. I highly recommend you book this experience, it is worth every penny!"
-Randa, October 2019
"It was worth every penny! I had a great time. It definitely exceeded my expectation. Due to the recent fire, the canyon/creek path was closed. So we went with the mountain-top ocean view, which was really worth the hike. Really breath-taking views with a lot less people around so you feel properly immersed in nature. Andrew is a great guide, attentive, considerate. His knowledge also adds tremendous value to this hike and makes it so much more interesting. I may not remember exactly the names of the plants on our trail for example, but I really feel more connected to the place thanks to those stories. Highly recommended. I truly hope he can makes a career out of this because he certainly has the gift for it."
-Linh, October 2019
"If you’re a solo traveller or anyone else for that matter book this for your trip to LA! I never hike and didn’t know how I would find it but Andy is a super host and was engaging throughout the whole trip. Views are spectacular and not too challenging for relatively fit people. Overall I couldn’t have asked for more with this experience, nothing like it around!"
-Charlie, October 2019
"Although I was traveling alone and I winded up being his only person to host, Andrew made me feel safe and comfortable. We discussed my expectations and he provided me with options (there were 3). Andrew was knowledgeable, passionate and friendly. He made me feel like we were friends and the places he took me to were absolutely breathtaking. He helped take great photos! Walked (hiked) at my pace. Provided with me water and snacks. So happy I signed up for this experience with Andrew and can’t wait to be back and to experience another one with him!"
-Sabrina, October 2019
"I had a great time. It was nice to see the more natural side of the LA area (I spent most of my trip in the Hollywood area). Andrew was very knowledgable and friendly. I’ll never forget the beautiful views. Trails were easy to follow. While locals can find the trails, he’s a local, there is no way I would have ever found them and experienced those views without Andrew! He offered 2 different areas for hiking. Next time I’m in the area I’m definitely checking out the other one!!"
-Justyn, October 2019
"Highly recommend this experience if you are in the Malibu area. Andrew was very knowledgeable about the area, he personalized the hike to my own preferences, and he even extended the tour so we could squeeze in some great sunset photos! To top it off, he is very friendly, easy to talk to, and I had a great time with him. Thanks Andrew for a wonderful time!"
-Yumi, October 2019
"Andrew is AMAZING. The hike we took was breathtakingly beautiful and he was sure to give as many rest stops as we needed along the way. With extensive experience as well as historical knowledge of the area, Andrew was able to fill in the journeys to each gorgeous destination with engaging stories and facts. If you want to experience the natural beauty that LA county has to offer, Andrew is your guy!"
-Ashley, October 2019
"Seriously just go for it. It’s an amazing experience that shows you another side of LA, away from « the usual touristic attractions » and Andrew is so nice and knowledgeable! My best experience on LA!"
-Mokhtaria, September 2019
"My husband and I had an amazing time with Andrew. From the very beginning it was easy to communicate with him. On the day of, he gave us multiple options on the types of hike we might enjoy. During the tour, he took his time to show and explain the different things we were seeing. We were amazed at his depth of knowledge. We learned so much about the different plants and types of wild animals/birds that we would not have been able to do if we had gone by ourselves. If we are to come back to Malibu and Topanga, we will definitely get in touch with him to enjoy a new adventure!! Highly recommend."
-Anshul, June 2019
"Andrew was amazing! I bought this hike as a gift and it was perfect. Andrew was so knowledgeable and kind. He was accommodating and sweet with our young daughter. He has an in depth knowledge of the area, including flora and fauna and every second was enjoyable. Good vibes all around."
-Sarah, June 2019
"Andrew was great. He was very accommodating with scheduling changes and seemed to be quite knowledgeable about nature and the ecosystem. He is super chill. I can highly recommend this experience to others."
-JD, June 2019
"This was a once in a lifetime experience. Andrew was a fantastic guide. He has a passion for all things nature, big and small. We had great conversation, took some awesome photos, and got to see some very cool sites."
-Orrin, June 2019
"Andrew was an incredibly knowledgeable and caring guide...It was one of the highlights of my trip and highly recommended!"
-Alexandra, June 2019
"We had a really great time on Andrews hike! It was fun, super-friendly, informative, interesting and at the right pace. Andrew is obviously passionate about ecology and the outside world and this shines through at all levels. The hike never felt rushed and he was happy to bolt an extra 90 mins or so on to the end to extend it to take in other areas. It was one of our best ABB experiences to date and we would without hesitation recommend Andrew”s experience to others - oh yes and very funny too! 😊😊😊"
-Marc, May 2019
"I reserved this tour for my 25th birthday and Andrew exceeded my expectations. My friend and I are so excited to visit the LA area again so we can book with Andrew. He was patient, did not rush us, took his time, and even took literally 100s of photos for us and make sure we received them before we parted ways. Thanks Andrew !!!"
-Lacey, May 2019
"Andrew was a great host. What I loved about the tour is he takes you to uncharted territories that are special and you can’t find them on the maps or online and there’s nobody there. Also he takes care of the photos so you can focus on connection and the hike. I’d do it again."
-Nicky, April 2019
"One of the best experiences I've ever had. Andrew is exceptionally knowledgeable and just an incredibly pleasant human! I would absolutely book with him again."
-Charley, April 2019
"Andrew took us on one of the most beautiful spring hikes! Not only was Andrew super friendly and knowledgeable, he’s also passionate about nature and shares it with his hosts. Andrew showed us aspects of Malibu we would never have found on our own: pure nature with no crowd. We hiked some of the hills that were burnt during the recent fire and the spring regrowth was spectacular: so many greens and an abundance of flowers. The vistas were superb: mountains, nature and the ocean. Last but not least, Andrew [is] a photographer, he took beautiful pictures of our family during the hike... and he gave us the best dinner tips! I highly recommend going on a hike with Andrew!!!"
-Susanne, April 2019
"Andrew was the BEST host I could’ve asked for. The experience was amazing. I was able to see numerous things that I never would’ve, had I been alone. He made me feel so comfortable and welcome the entire time. He went above and beyond to make sure that I had not just a good experience, but one that I wanted and would always remember. He exceeded all expectations that I could’ve imagined for him! Please don’t waste your time looking other places for an experience, 10/10 would recommend Andrew and his tour! Thanks so much!"
-Courtney, March 2019
"Andrew was a very passionate tour guide. He took us on the Malibu tour and was knowledgeable about the areas we went to. He also gave us several options to choose from as to what exactly we wanted to do on the trip. I would definitely recommend him if you want a great experience!"

"This experience was amazing! If you want to get out and see something you won’t see anywhere else, this trip is perfect. Andrew was very accommodating and tailored our experience to our interests. We got to see breathtaking views, while learning a lot about Malibu. Andrew is very knowledgeable as a guide for this experience — he covered everything ranging from the history of Malibu to the wildlife in the area. I highly recommend this trip...you will not be disappointed!"
