1/5

Beverly Hills

This is the heartbeat of luxury in LA. Rolling through Beverly Hills means peeking at mega-mansions, palm-lined boulevards, and gated estates where celebs live, shop, and pose. Think expansive villas, lush gardens, and sleek architecture.

Hollywood Hills

Nestled above the city, Hollywood Hills gives you both drama and views. The terrain is steep, winding, full of switchbacks, opulent homes tucked into the hillside, and those iconic panoramas overlooking LA. Tours often travel along roads like Mulholland Drive, giving you vantage points of the cityscape and the studios.

The Hollywood Sign

The iconic sign that is symbolic of LA’s spirit is a must-see on your trip. Originally erected in 1923 as “Hollywoodland” to advertise real estate, it now stands as the enduring emblem of the film industry, big dreams, and showbiz. Tour buses often pause at overlooks or drive close enough for great photo ops.

The Sunset Strip

This is where old-school rock meets nightlife, glitzy boutiques meet iconic venues, and where late-night restaurants are always buzzing. The Sunset Strip is legendary because of historic venues like the Whisky a Go-Go & The Roxy. This is where Hollywood parties, after-hours gossip, and neon lights are in constant motion. Even if you’re not hopping in clubs, just passing through can feel immersive.

Dolby Theatre

The home of the Oscars since 2002, this theatre on Hollywood Boulevard is as glamorous as it gets. Outside, you’ve got the red carpet moments, the Walk of Fame nearby, and the general movie-premiere energy.

Tips to make the best of your Celebrity Home Tours Los Angeles

Before your tour begins, make sure to charge your phone. You’ll be snapping pictures of endless palm-lined streets, luxury gates, and iconic signs.
Put your shades on! Not just to be on theme for the tour, but to avoid the blinding LA glare on the hills.
Don’t get your hopes up about celebrity sightings. While those can happen, the tour is more about the luxurious lifestyles and historic neighborhoods that make up LA.
Add your own spin of fun to your tour and look for quirky details. Like themed mailboxes or insanely tall hedges hiding homes.
At the end of your tour, don’t forget to tip your driver/guide. They’re the ones spilling the funniest behind-the-scenes stories to keep you entertained.
