See LA’s most famous places in one half-day tour by luxury coach, with a local driver-guide telling the stories behind them. You’ll get free time in Beverly Hills, at Santa Monica Pier or the Walk of Fame, at the Farmers Market and at Griffith Observatory.
This half-day tour packs LA’s best-known places into one trip. You’ll ride in a new, air-conditioned luxury coach while your driver-guide tells you about the city’s culture, history and celebrity life. The tour stops long enough at each main sight for you to get off, look around and take photos.
Starting in Hollywood: You meet on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and head west toward the ocean. You drive the Sunset Strip through West Hollywood, then stop for 30 minutes in Beverly Hills and on Rodeo Drive. Next comes 45 minutes at Santa Monica Pier. On the way back you pass Century City and Museum Row.
Starting in Santa Monica: You start near the coast and go inland past Century City, the Avenue of the Stars and Wilshire Boulevard. You stop for 30 minutes in Beverly Hills and on Rodeo Drive, then drive the Sunset Strip through West Hollywood to the Hollywood Walk of Fame for 45 minutes.
Both routes: You get a 60-minute lunch and shopping break at The Grove and The Original Farmers Market. Then you pass Fairfax, Melrose Avenue, Paramount Studios, the Greek Theatre and Griffith Park before 30 minutes at Griffith Observatory, with views of the Hollywood Sign and the LA basin. The tour ends where it started.
Bonus: You also get a free self-guided Hollywood Walk of Fame walking tour (a $9 value) in 11 languages. You can use it any time, for as long as you like.
