Great way to spend 4 hours and even more so if you are a solo traveler. Took me 30 min to get to the agency pick up location which is conveniently situated 1 block off of Sunset Blvd. I was late to meet my tour by 10-15min. Don’t worry, if you are running late as they run these tours every hour and they were able to put me onto the next tour. That was perfect as I used my free time to walk Sunset Boulevard to see the Walk of Stars and I had a quick bite to eat.
Tour is ideal if you don’t like a lot of walking or can’t be in the hot sun for very long but still want to get your tourist pictures. Try to avoid center seat in the open top vans to get best pics. Tour drives you up Mulholland Dr for the views of the Hollywood sign, some celebrity houses (JLo/Gwen Stefani, Pharrell Williams, Carrie Fischer, Justin Bieber and so many more BUT not Tom Cruise or Taylor Swift as mentioned in the description) and views of LA. We then headed to Rodeo Drive, a bit of Santa Monica Blvd, Beverly Hills, Sunset Strip and a bit of Sunset Blvd where you can opt to be dropped off near the Dolby Theater. Before the last 20min of our 2hr tour, there was a 15min stretch your legs/restroom break at the Lily Pond in Beverly Hills.
Roger, our tour guide has ample jokes and plenty of info about the area and the celebs, like where they eat, work out or live. The tour will cover some famous historical or movie scene locations. Remember to bring some cash so you can tip your driver afterwards:-)
All in all well worth the $39. After being dropped off at the Dolby theater you can spend time walking “walk of stars “, Dolby theater (shopping in there), and the Chinese theater (hand & foot prints of famous stars). In the same 2 blocks, you’ll see Harley Davidson store and Jimmy Kimmel’s studio & the metro station.
