Los Angeles: Ferrari Hollywood Sign Drive & Mulholland Views

Summary

Hollywood’s legends, city views & a Ferrari engine’s roar

You’ll get to drive a real Ferrari through Hollywood with a local guide riding shotgun, passing icons like the Walk of Fame and Sunset Blvd before stopping for photos near the Hollywood Sign and along Mulholland Drive. Feel LA’s pulse from behind the wheel, catch those city views, and leave with pictures (and memories) you’ll replay long after.

What’s the experience like?

“You sure you’ve driven something like this before?” our guide grinned as I slid behind the wheel of the Ferrari California. Honestly, my hands were already sweaty just from touching the leather — it smelled like sun-warmed seats and a little bit of nervous excitement. We pulled out onto Hollywood Blvd and suddenly I was part of that endless LA parade: palm trees flickering by, tourists snapping selfies in front of the TCL Chinese Theatre, someone shouting about Spiderman on the Walk of Fame. The car felt almost too smooth for these bumpy streets — every stoplight was a chance to breathe and try not to stall (I didn’t, thank god).

Our guide — Marco, born and raised in LA — kept tossing out these little stories about old movie premieres at the Dolby Theatre or how Sunset Blvd used to be all orange groves. At one point he pointed up at a mural I’d never noticed before. “That’s where they filmed part of La La Land,” he said. The city felt different from inside a Ferrari, honestly — louder but somehow smaller too. When we finally turned up toward Mulholland Drive, the air changed; it got quieter except for that engine rumble (which I’m still kind of obsessed with). There was this moment when we stopped near the Hollywood Sign for photos — wind in my face, city haze below, Marco laughing because I kept squinting at the sun. It’s weird how something so famous can feel new when you’re standing there with your own heartbeat thumping from adrenaline.

I probably butchered “Mulholland” trying to sound local — Marco just laughed and said nobody here pronounces anything right anyway. The drive back felt faster, maybe because I’d finally relaxed into it or maybe because time does that when you’re doing something you’ll want to talk about later. Fifty minutes goes quick in LA traffic but somehow this tour made it feel like its own little movie scene. Still thinking about that view over the city — and yeah, that engine sound sticks with you.
