We took the tour with Josh. Before we were out of hollywood we had about 4 places we wanted to go eat before leaving LA, and a handful of places where we could enjoy drinks, music and 'see or be seen'. Josh was really knowledgeable and had a great way of weaving the history of hollywood, from silent film and corrupt police to rapid growth and real estate opportunities... all with a sort of playful banter that left me wondering how anyone could talk so freely and effortlessly from topic to topic while managing to weave facts, humor and insights into what I could only describe as a "show". I don't know how he manages all that information but we left the tour feeling like we knew so much more about the city... like we got the insider knowledge that a couple from the midwest would never get! I guess there's a lot of these tours but I noticed the open bus we were in was maybe a bit bigger/taller than the others? We had good views the whole way except coming down out of the hollywood hills - it was a bit cold so we tucked in Missouri style with our caps and scarves. Anyway, I felt like it was the right choice. The salesman Anthony was really pleasant and professional, the bus seemed like it was in good shape and I had a comfortable "aisle seat" where I could stretch my legs for what turned out to be a nearly 2 hour tour. Highlights: Mike Tyson's mansion, Ringo Starrs hideaway, the cool 'factoids' and trivia about the various hollywood famous people - from founders like Edward Doheny and early actors like Buster Keaton to more current stars like my daughter's favorite singer Selena Gomez and one of my favorite actors, John Travolta. I'm sure there are more traditional tours, but I felt like Open Bus really jazzed it up and gave us a super unique tour without failing to stop and include what you'd expect... like the Hollywood sign, the oldest Beverly Hills sign and some of the more recognizable film sites like Beverly Blvd with all those super tall palm trees. Anthony was right though, we got all our vacation photos done between that and an afternoon wandering around Hollywood and got to spend the rest of our vacation cruising Pasadena and exploring the beach! Go find these guys... they're right next to some bar/restaurant called Pig and Whistle. 5-star all the way! And if Josh reads this, thanks for all the advice on restaurants, I hope you get that date with Katy Perry some day! LOL.

We consider ourselves very lucky. Just happened to stumble upon this Hollywood tour company called Open Bus Tours, and we took their two hour movie star home tour (I think they offer longer city tours as well, according to their brochure) and it was the highlight of our visit to Los Angeles. Had a hilarious guide named Josh. He drove us up in to the hills to a viewpoint where we got a postcard quality photograph of my family with the Hollywood Sign behind them. Did I mention we saw Al Pacino during our tour? This made it for me as I've been a lifelong fan. The great Al was pulling out of his Beverly Hills house, driving a white SUV, and he smiled and gave us the thumbs up sign. Got a good picture. Also saw Playboy Mansion, Aaron Spelling house, Jay Z and Beyoncé house, and homes of P Diddy, Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars, Simon Cowell, and I could go on. They had a price sale that day and we got our tour tickets for $25 each. I recommend highly Open Bus Tours for all visitors to LA looking for a bit of fun, and interesting info about the city.

We took this tour out of Hollywood and really quite enjoyed it. Our lady bus driver was very knowledgeable and personable. She did a fine job of pointing out the sights and seemed to know many intimate details of celebrity homes. We would do it again if we had her.
