LA City Tour

On the L.A. City Tour, you’ll visit the most iconic sights and historical landmarks in the area — the places made famous on film and television — with one of our expert local guides.

  • Start your day at one of our three pick up locations in Santa Monica, Hollywood, and Anaheim, or we can pick you up for free at one of 150 area hotels. From here, sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride in one of our upscale, climate-controlled coaches. 
  • The bus stops for about 45 minutes at each location, so you’ll have plenty of time to do some exploring on your own. 
  • Between stops, our experienced guides will share historical facts and insider knowledge about Los Angeles and highlight points of interest along the way. 
  • Plan to spend the whole day with us! The tour will last about 7.5 hours.

What You’ll See:

Santa Monica Pier

Best Things To Do In Santa Monica Pier - Visit Route 66

One of L.A.’s most popular attractions, the Santa Monica Pier is full of entertainment and photo ops. From the rides and games in Pacific Park and street performers to the famous Route 66 “End of the Trail” sign, the Pier is a great place to make vacation memories. There are also steps leading down from the pier to the beach if you want to feel the sand between your toes.

Venice is a beach community like no other, and it’s unique attractions and residents have made it one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country. Must-see highlights include the skaters and graffiti walls at the Venice Skate Park, the bodybuilders at Muscle Beach, and the shops and street performers along Ocean Front Walk

Beverly Hills

Get a taste of the “lifestyles of the rich and famous” while visiting the 90210 zip code. Do some shopping (or window shopping) at the designer boutiques along Rodeo Drive, pass by mansions and celebrity homes, and don’t miss the photo op in front of the Beverly Hills sign.

The Grove

We’ll stop for lunch and dine al fresco at the Original Farmers Market at the Grove. The historic L.A. landmark opened in 1934 and today features more than 100 vendors including plenty of delicious eateries.

Griffith Park 

A favorite among locals and visitors alike, Griffith Park and Observatory sits high in the hills offering panoramic views of the city, hiking trails, and views of the world-famous Hollywood sign.

Hollywood Walk of Fame 

Out LA City Tour wouldn’t be one of the best tours in Los Angeles if it didn’t include a little brush with stardom, which you’ll feel when we stop in Hollywood. Stroll the Hollywood Walk of Fame to find your favorite actor’s star, see where The Oscars take place at the Dolby Theatre and stop for a photo in front of the TCL Chinese Theater.

After our last tour stop together, we’ll take you safely back to the same place we picked you up, passing by a few more points of interest on the way home.
