Your LA, Your Way
Most LA tours follow the same crowded route. With me, it’s different:- You choose what you love — movies, beaches, art, food, views.
- I build a tour that fits your time, interests, and group.
- No strangers, no set stops — it’s your own LA adventure, private and personal.

Meet your guide
I’m Sten — born and raised in Los Angeles. I started So-Cal Expert Experience because too many visitors only saw LA from a bus window. That’s not the LA I grew up in.My tours are never one-size-fits-all. Before we head out, I learn what you want from your day — whether that’s the iconic must-sees, neighborhoods locals actually hang out in, or even a real filming location from one of your favorite movies.The goal is simple: a private LA experience that feels personal, flexible, and memorable — built around what matters most to you.
