The experience

You get picked up from your hotel and driven through Hollywood in a climate-controlled vehicle with a professional guide who narrates the route in English or Spanish. The tour hits seven stops in two hours: the TCL Chinese Theatre, where 932 people have watched world premieres and three Academy Awards ceremonies since 1927; the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which runs over a mile and holds more than 2,600 stars; the Viper Room, opened in 1993 and known as a hangout for Hollywood's elite; and the Capitol Records Building, a 13-story circular tower completed in 1956 that worked closely with Frank Sinatra, The Beach Boys and Paul McCartney.

The route also covers Whisky a Go Go, the first American discotheque when it opened in 1958 and the launching pad for No Doubt, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin and Guns N' Roses; the Dolby Theatre, built specifically for the Academy Awards and seating over 3,000 people; and the Sunset Strip, which has been the center of Hollywood nightlife for over half a century and is lined with recognizable buildings featured in countless films. Bottled water and small snacks come with the ride.

The tour operates rain or shine, and the vehicle is equipped with specialized infant seats if you're traveling with small children. Service animals are welcome, and the pace suits all fitness levels since you're traveling by car between stops rather than walking long distances.
