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. Unlike many tours that rush from stop to stop, we give you time to relax and enjoy the area at your own pace. Grab a burger at Mel's, choose from nearby restaurants, browse the Sunset Strip, or simply soak up the atmosphere before we continue our adventure. 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. Unlike open-roof tours, we provide a relaxed, luxurious ride, allowing you to take in the elegance of designer boutiques and glitzy charm at your own pace. Rodeo Drive is a symbol of luxury, and from the comfort of our van, you'll enjoy a front-row view of Beverly Hills' most exclusive street—a true highlight of the tour.

Overall excellent. I was sceptical in the beginning since the pick up time and venue at Long beach was constantly changed by the providers but their communication was good. However, once John picked us up, it was smooth sailing from then on for the rest of the day. John is not only extremely informative but also funny, accommodative, polite and professional at all times and made the whole day thoroughly enjoyable. So a big thank you to John! Excellent points: John - our guide of course( 7 stars); small coach and hence a small group; comfortable journey; itinerary and duration well thought of. Aspects than can be improved upon: time spent on lunch could be shortened so that more time can be spent at Santa Monica. Perhaps tie up with Mel's diner to book table(s) prior in advance on the day?
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We are thrilled John made your day shine, his knowledge and humor really do bring the tour to life! We are also so glad you enjoyed the small group setting which has been such a favorite for guests. We truly appreciate your insight on timing preferences, feedback like yours helps us continue to refine the experience. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to john and we can't wait to welcome you back for another unforgettable LA adventure!

We booked through our hotel the night before the tour. BEST tour I’ve ever done! Our guide Josh was so friendly, informative and professional.

It’s a full day but SO well worth every penny!!!

Thank you so much for your feedback! We are so happy you had a great time and that john's expertise helped you see a lot of L.A. john really is a pro at making the most of every approximately 80 miles we cover, plus you get to relax and enjoy the sights without having to deal with L.A traffic, luckily we make a few stops along the way! It really is a full, rich experience. We hope we get the chance to welcome you back soon for another adventure. There is much more to see!😊
I booked the tour through the hotel. I received a call at 8:00pm the night before the tour requesting that I move the tour to a different day. This was my last day in Long Beach and I could not change my schedule. My tour was cancelled and at that point in time it was too late to schedule another tour. It was not a good experience.
This tour is a great option for travelers wanting a tour before our after a cruise in Long Beach or San Pedro.
This tour was amazing! We were able to see so many places, even more than planned. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. A truly enjoyable day!
Very good tour guide,John was very pleasant
