THE REAL HOLLYWOOD TOUR

Date/Time
Date(s) - 01/02/2026 - 12/30/2027
10:00 am - 12:00 pm

On our Hollywood walking tour we’ll take you back to before the name was used for the neighborhood, then we’ll tell you how and why the start-up film industry first moved to this small, sleepy farming town in the early twentieth century.

By walking the streets of Hollywood you’ll get the chance to discover the many hidden historic sites on the boulevard (such as the oldest house in Hollywood, where Charlie Chaplin’s kids went to school), as well as offering you the best up close and personal experiences of such icons as the Walk of Fame, the Capitol Records Building, the Egyptian Theater, the Dolby Theater (home of the annual Oscars) and the TCL Chinese Theater where our Real Hollywood tour ends. It’s the perfect place to have lunch or get some great shots of the Hollywood Sign for Instagram.

You can combine this tour with our Central Downtown LA tour(opens in new tab) if you book both tours for the same day. If you do the guide will take you from Hollywood to downtown and all travel between and during the tours on the Los Angeles Metro is included. The two tours then merge to create one six hour tour of Hollywood and downtown, the two most historic parts of the city.

Our tours can sell out. If you cannot make a booking email us at [email protected], telling us when you want to do the tour and how many guests are in your party, and if we can squeeze you in we’ll let you know.
