The experience

Six stops across Los Angeles in one day, from Santa Monica Pier to the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

A full day covers the ground that is hardest to manage independently in LA’s traffic and parking: Santa Monica Pier and Venice Beach Boardwalk first, then Rodeo Drive and Beverly Hills, a lunch stop at the Farmers’ Market at The Grove, and a drive down the Sunset Strip past the Viper Room and the Whisky a Go Go.

The afternoon brings VIP curbside service at Griffith Observatory for the best view of the Hollywood Sign and the LA basin, before finishing at the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Forecourt of the Stars outside the Dolby Theatre — with a live guide narrating throughout and bottled water included.
