See the Hollywood Sign & 10 Celebrity Hotspots Without Walking All Day

You board an open-air bus at the Hollywood Walk of Fame and spend the afternoon passing the Hollywood Sign, Dolby Theatre, Rodeo Drive, Sunset Strip, Beverly Hills Hotel, and celebrity homes in the Hollywood Hills. A driver-guide narrates the route, you get a 10-minute photo stop at the Beverly Hills Sign, and the open-air seating means better views and photo angles than a closed bus. You're back by evening without having to drive or navigate yourself.

The Experience

"Which star are you looking for?" The driver asks as you board the open-air bus at the Walk of Fame, right near Marilyn Monroe's star. That's the thing about this tour — you're not stuck on foot in the heat, trying to navigate between the Dolby Theatre and Rodeo Drive. The bus covers the ground, and you get to stay in the shade between stops. You'll pass the Hollywood Sign from multiple angles, roll down the Sunset Strip where the comedy clubs and concert venues line up, and swing through West Hollywood where they film reality TV shows like Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

The route hits the landmarks people actually want to see: TCL Chinese Theatre, the Beverly Hills Hotel, Rodeo Drive (where they shot Pretty Woman), and a 10-minute stop at the Beverly Hills Sign so you can get out and take photos without rushing. Mulholland Drive gives you the Hollywood Hills and those iconic views of the sign from above. The driver points things out as you go, and because you're on an open bus, the photo angles are better than they'd be through a window. You arrive 20 to 30 minutes early, which gives you time to find a specific star on the Walk of Fame if you have one in mind.

The whole thing moves at a pace that lets you actually see things instead of just checking them off. You're not hiking between sites, and you're not sitting in traffic wondering where you are. The Laugh Factory, Sur and Pump restaurants in West Hollywood, the high-end shops on Rodeo Drive — it all flows together in one afternoon. If you've got limited time in Los Angeles and want to cover the main Hollywood and Beverly Hills spots without arranging your own transport or timing yourself, this is how you do it.
