The 4 best Hollywood tours

Take one of these awesome Hollywood tours to see more than just the Walk of Fame and the Chinese Theatre

Hollywood tours are in no short supply, from the open-top vans that line the Hollywood Walk of Fame to intimate walking tours. At their best, they take the guesswork out of exploring major tourist attractions and celebrity hangouts, and can sometimes offer an offbeat look at Hollywood history. But finding a perfect route is a challenge, especially when most Hollywood tours barely even take place in Hollywood; in fact, most are excursions through  West Hollywood’s Sunset Strip as well as Beverly Hills .

We’ll be honest: Enterprising visitors are better off with a DIY approach. A smartphone, a Metro pass, and a ride-hailing app cost far less than a proper tour, and you’ll be able to tackle everything at your own pace.

But if you’re looking for a bit more hand-holding and have upwards of $40 to spare, a couple of quality options do exist for Hollywood tours. So we hopped aboard Tinseltown’s top tour buses to find you the best tours through L.A.’s most famous neighborhoods.

Best Hollywood tours

1.  Starline Sightseeing Tours Hop-on Hop-off

• Things to do
• Walks and tours
• price 2 of 4

Starline Sightseeing Tours essentially operates an entire network of double-decker bus circuits across the city, from Downtown to Santa Monica. Unlike most full-day tours, you’ll never be held hostage to a particular itinerary. Buses arrive at most major tourist attractions across the city every 20 to 30 minutes, so feel free to avoid awful spots and linger in more interesting ones (the Hollywood-West Hollywood-Beverly Hills loop clocks in at just under two hours). Faux Robin Leach narration pumps through headphone jacks at every seat. The ritzy British accent lends extra hilarity as it recounts Hollywood lore, like the El Pollo Loco where Brad Pitt used to dress up as a chicken, or the liquor store where Guns N’ Roses used to get sloshed. 

Don't miss: The multilingual audio commentary comes in eight languages, so no one has to miss out. 

2.  Hollywood Studios and TMZ Private Day Tour

However you make your way to this tour, you can’t possibly miss the bus; it has TMZ emblazoned in huge lettering down the sides of it and it’ll likely be surrounded by excitable folks. The lack of windows means taking photos is a breeze – plus, it allows your guide to yell witty quips at passersby when you roll through celeb hotspots. Inside the bus, a history of salacious celeb details are offered via amusing anecdotes. Essentially, this is three tours in one: The sightseeing aspect efficiently and lightheartedly covers the most notable stops in Hollywood, West Hollywood, and Beverly Hills. Additionally, it’s a celebrity-hunting tour – the guides are armed with camera rigs to record fodder for TMZ – where success is never guaranteed. 

Don't miss:  Views of the Hollywood Sign, Rodeo Drive and Sunset Strip. 

3.  Hollywood Boulevard Prime Time Van Tour

• price 1 of 4

Walk anywhere on Hollywood Boulevard and you’re sure to be stopped by someone hawking a discounted van tour. The canopy-topped vans offer a comfortable alternative to driving yourself through Hollywood gridlock and the frightfully narrow roads through the hills up to the Hollywood Sign. However, the tours rarely delve deeper than “there’s Eva Longoria’s house.” For those looking for a no-frills way to snap some photos of Hollywood’s tourist highlights and celebrity homes, it’s difficult to find a more practical, cost-effective way. 

Don't miss:  You'll be driving past the homes of Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio, Elvis Presley and more... so keep your eyes peeled for celeb sightings. 

4.  Los Angeles: Luxury Hollywood Sightseeing Trolley Tour

It's not just about the views and famous sights on this Hollywood tour; passengers will be riding on a vintage trolley to make this experience even more memorable. Glance over at celeb homes and cultural hotspots, like Miracle Mile to the Original Farmers Market, from the comfort of crushed velvet seats. Your guide will be sharing stories that relate to each site as you pass by, making for a jam-packed three-hour joyride. 

Don't miss: Look out for the onboard charging ports and remember to ask for the WiFi details.
