Overview

Enjoy LA's most colorful and iconic sights with this one-day tour, including entry to Madame Tussauds Hollywood (a $29 value). Leave the stress of research, planning, and driving to us while you enjoy complimentary onboard WiFi, bottled water, and snacks.

Starting at El Pueblo de Los Angeles, the historic center of downtown LA, this tour takes you through the picturesque sights and rich history of the City of Angels. Experience 200+ years of Mexican-American history on Olvera Street, check out the terminus of Route 66 at the Santa Monica Pier, look for Ferraris on Rodeo Drive, snap a photo at the Beverly Hills Sign, buy lunch at the Original Farmers Market, strut down the Hollywood Walk of Fame, hunt for handprints at TCL Chinese Theater, gaze up at the Hollywood sign, and finally take in a stunning high-elevation view of Los Angeles from Griffith Observatory.
