The experience
An open-air bus through the Hollywood Hills, Mulholland Drive and Beverly Hills, on the trail of celebrity homes.
The two-hour Hollywood departure boards at the Walk of Fame and climbs into the Hollywood Hills for views of the Hollywood Sign and the LA skyline, cruising Mulholland Drive past celebrity homes and filming locations before a stop at the Beverly Hills Sign and a run through Rodeo Drive, West Hollywood and the Sunset Strip.
A longer 3.5-hour version departs from Santa Monica instead, adding the drive out through Century City and Wilshire Boulevard and a 30-minute stop at the Beverly Hills Sign and Rodeo Drive before covering the same Hollywood Hills ground. Every booking includes a complimentary self-guided Hollywood Walk of Fame walking tour.
