“America’s two happiest cities in one trip,” grins Brett, who’s very excited.

Matt on the other hand is screaming for his life. He just doesn’t know it yet…

Matt and Teng try a slithering new trend: ‘Pineapple!’

In a world of fitness and wellness crazes, two lucky Guides – Matt and Teng – got to try a bizarre new massage trend taking over LA.

“What we have is an immersive massage experience,” they’re told. “Stimulating as many senses as you can…”

Teng and Matt looked slightly worried as a special “guest” arrived at the scene: Spirit the snake.

“We have two big fears,” Brett explained. “Sharks and snakes.”

Snake Immersion Therapy can set you back a whopping $1022 per person, so the boys should have considered themselves lucky.

“The snake is a resemblance of pure instinct,” the expert explained. “It’s completely natural to be afraid. Any safe words before we begin?”

“Pineapple” is their safe word – one Matt SCREAMED at the top of his lungs.

Catch the hilarioussssss results right here: 

Teng covered his eyes as not one but two extra snakes came out.

“I would 100 per cent not recommend this experience,” Matt made clear, while Brett couldn’t stop laughing.

The Guides get giddy in Hollywood

For a less extreme experience, how about a Hollywood backlot tour?

The Guides did just that at Universal Studios and they were “mind blown”.

Riding in their tram, the Guides scored a behind-the-scenes peek at “one of the most talked about streets in all of Hollywood history”: Wisteria Lane from hit show Desperate Housewives.

But the studio tour’s terrifying show-stopper was a mechanical beast with a taste for blood…

See it for yourself in the video below: 

“That was one of the best tours we’ve ever done,” Vic smiled.

Mark and Cathy throw a Vegas wedding

What happened in Vegas definitely didn’t stay in Vegas for Fran parents Mark and Cathy – after 35 years they renewed their vows!

An estimated 120,000 couples come to Vegas each year to declare their ‘I dos’, and the most famous place is the Graceland Chapel.

Mark shed a tear as ‘Elvis’ walked Cathy down the aisle. It was all very sweet…

“But it wasn’t until the vows things were getting really weird,” warned Vic.

See how “weird” it got in the video here: 

In a Travel Guides first, both the Fren Family and Karly and Bri scored their LA and Vegas trip five out of five stars.

Will their next trip be just as fun? Tune in next Sunday to find out!
