WALK OF FAME (Hollywood Blvd) Grauman's Chinese Theatre - The Hollywood Walk of Fame - - Kodak Theater, (Home of the Oscars) - The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel , and many more famous places too numerous to list... Since the first star was awarded to Joanne Woodward, in 1960, celebrities and fictional characters that have contributed to the entertainment industry here have recognized with a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. There are now more than 2,300 of these five-pointed bronze stars including some of the most recent honorees such as Halle Berry, Jamie Foxx and Forrest Whitaker and The Munchkins, stars of the 1939 film “The Wizard of Oz.
At the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, we stop for a full hour, giving you the freedom to explore the entire area at your own pace—something few other tours offer. Since 1927, this theatre has been at the heart of Hollywood, surrounded by the Walk of Fame, celebrity handprints, and star-studded history.

Take a break where Hollywood history is still being made. Mel's Drive-In has been a Sunset Strip icon for decades and gained worldwide fame after inspiring the classic film American Graffiti. Today, it's still one of the best places in Hollywood to enjoy lunch—and you might even spot a celebrity at the next table.

Lunch is optional and not included in the tour price.
As we drive through the city of Beverly Hills, we glide along the world-famous Rodeo Drive and Beverly Hills sign, in our comfortable, climate-controlled 14-passenger vans.

My family and I had an amazing tour of Los Angeles. Gab was brilliant. As we were the only ones on the tour, he went out of his way to accommodate a few extra things. He was so knowledgeable and interesting too. Thank you! It was definitely worth the cost. I highly recommend the tour!
What a great tour! Our guide, John was exceptional! Thank you for a great experience!
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We are absolutely delighted you had a fantastic time and we'll make sure to let John know how much you appreciate him. We would love to welcome you again for another fantastic day exploring LA. There is so much more to see!
First time in LA and didn’t know what to see or do. This trip was perfect! It was an eight hour guided tour, mostly on a bus not a lot of walking, but saw the entire city and beyond. Our guide Josh G. was phenomenal. He had so many fun facts, movie facts and historical facts. He pointed out every museum and must see spots. Totally worth the price.
Wow, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are so glad your first visit to L.A was a success and that the tour gave you a perfect introduction to the city. Our tour guide Josh is truly phenomenal and he really brings Los Angeles to live to provide a rich, fun and worth it experience! We look forward to welcoming you back on your next adventure!
We had a very good experience with Josh G, we found him to be very knowledgeable, courteous, patient and fun to be with. He interacted with everyone in our group.
Thank you so much for your kind words and the five stars! We are so glad you had a memorable time with Josh, he truly loves connecting with each guest and it means the world to us that you felt so engaged and cared for! Thanks again for sharing your experience and we hope to see you on another tour soon!
Loved seeing Los Angeles for the first time. Gabe was great like a movie star. We especially enjoyed the Walk of Fame with Hollywood stars and the lengthy stop at Venice, Muscle Beach by the beautiful ocean. Highly recommend LA!
We are so glad we were able to show you Los Angels for the first time and you loved it!! Gabe will be so flatter to hear your compliments he might just ask for an autograph next time! 🤣 We are so happy that you enjoyed the Walk of Fame and the iconic Venice Beach stop. We hope we will see you again soon and we'll aim for that five star next time!
Gabe was our driver. Talked mostly about Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, and Keanu Reaves, and repeated himself constantly about movies from 15+ years ago (he mentioned the movie Point Break at least 5 different times over the entire trip). Would have liked more info on the surrounding areas that we were driving through, but for some reason he felt that we all needed to listen to constant celebrity gossip.
Thanks for sharing your feedback. Our Hollywood and Los Angeles tour covers more than 80 miles which gives guests a lot of ground to explore. Throughout the day our guides share a mix of local history, film history, neighborhood highlights, current hollywood conversations, well known figures and hidden gems who are part of the city's identity. we understand that every guest have different interests and we appreciate you taking the time to ride with us. We hope to welcome you again!
The first half of the tour was good but the part after lunch was very disappointing. We drove by Santa Monica beach and stopped at Venice Beach for about 40 minutes which we and others on the bus considered a complete waste of time. It would have been better to go past some of the homes on Beverly Hills or do a longer stop in Hollywood. The driver Alberto had lots of knowledge but was very opinionated.
Thanks for your feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed the first part of the tour and our guides knowledge. Our route is designed around iconic public landmarks including Santa Monica and Venice Beach. Unfortunately Access to Beverly Hills residential street is restricted for larger vehicles so residential home views aren't part of the published itinerary. We know every guest has different interest and we appreciate you taking the time to tour with us.
John was extremely knowledgeable. We saw a lit and learned a lot. Great tour
Thank you so much for the kind words! we are so glad to hear you had such a thorough experience. John takes pride in sharing his knowledge and we are happy you got to see and learn so much. We truly appreciate you touring with us and we would love to welcome you back!
Amazing guide exceptionally knowledgeable and good fun.... Great experience, long day but well worth it,
Thank you so much for your feedback! We are so happy you had a fantastic time and we are thrilled john's knowledge and fun made your day! Every part of the tour is designed to be a truly rich experience- that's exactly what we strive for and we are always looking for ways to make each guest's experience even better! We hope to welcome you back soon for another wonderful experience!
Guide did not give facts about the areas, I.e., cost of homes work opportunities, etc. Too much talk about celebrities & movies. He was obsessed about McDonalds! Mentioned it many, many times, mostly in the negative.
