Tour Hollywood with an LA Filmmaker

Overview

This tour is for those who don't want the standard Hollywood tour. Instead of celebrities, we focus on history and culture, and also on film as an industry and an artform. Because of this, you'll get a different perspective on the area, on the film industry, and on movies in general. I love movies and pretty much everything about them, and my goal is to share that love and passion with you.

Gabriel is a knowledgeable tour guide-passionate about film and film history. This tour is centered around historical theaters and buildings with key facts about the film industry sprinkled in. While it takes place mostly on Hollywood Blvd, It is not the typical stroll on the walk of fame. He is open to answering questions during the tour and he ends the tour at a fascinating place. You’ll have to take the tour to find out where...

The tour guide had a lot of knowledge and experience in the film industry. We learned a great deal of interesting history on the tour. We stopped at many historical locations in the area and heard the stories behind them. We got a lot more out of our visit with the guide than we would have walking around on our own.
