Highlights / General details

You’ll practically be a Hollywood local after going on this Los Angeles tour that includes the things you’d expect (an incredible view and wicked people-watching), and some things you wouldn’t expect (great locally roasted coffee, community gardens, and Hollywood’s best kept secrets).

Visit a members-only community garden oasis hidden in Hollywood’s hills. Get the inside scoop on Hollywood’s lesser-known historic sites and homes.

Itinerary On this LA tour, you’ll see Hollywood like a true local as you avoid crowds by veering away from the tourist scene, in favour of walking residential streets and sipping coffee at a local cafe. You’ll even get the inside scoop on places some locals probably don’t know about. We’ll navigate you through Hollywood’s hills and neighborhoods by foot, observing the area’s ornate architecture, local lifestyle, and pointing out celebrity homes tucked in amongst regular locals. Visit an historic, members-only community garden that is actively preserving 100-year-old avocado trees and keeping one of Hollywood’s oldest tourist attractions intact. Admire the Mediterranean, Victorian, and European architecture prevalent in Hollywood’s original estates, and walk partway up Runyon Canyon Park for an inspirational view over Los Angeles. This Hollywood tour with a local really is the very best way to get to know this iconic neighbourhood, and with all the local insight you'll learn about it, you'll leave this tour with a fresh perspective on Hollywood.
