LAtourist Itinerary - Hollywood and Los Angeles

Arrive at LAX airport. You must arrive by 8:00AM to get your bags and get to the tour bus on time. If you have a cell phone you can call the tour operator to confirm arrival (number will be provided on confirmation).

Start your trip with a Grand Tour of Los Angeles and Hollywood by LA City Tours. They will pick you up outside of your terminal. You can take your luggage with you on the tour van.

Let the driver know that you will not be returning to LAX. You can get dropped off at your hotel if it's on their list of drop-off points. Otherwise, you can get dropped off at their office on Hollywood Boulevard, then take the Red Line train (across the street) to your hotel.

After you have checked into your hotel, head over to Hollywood and Highland Metro station to take in the sights on Hollywood Boulevard. In general, the idea is to explore Hollywood Boulevard east and west of Highland Avenue (western boundary: La Brea Avenue; eastern boundary: Vine Street), and then make your way back to Hollywood and Highland entertainment complex by around 5:00 PM or so. This is a good opportunity to grab a bite to eat. There are dining choices inside of Hollywood and Highland entertainment complex, and at several places nearby on Hollywood Boulevard.

First, take a look around at the Hollywood and Highland entertainment complex. In particular, go to an Observation Deck on either the third or fourth level, to view the Hollywood Sign.

Next, walk to the Chinese Theatre, which is adjacent on Hollywood Boulevard. It takes about half an hour to look at the handprints and footprints. It's interesting to see all the familiar names of stars from the past side-by-side with current celebrities (i.e., John Wayne is next to John Travolta). Be sure to take a look at the inspirational quote by Marilyn Monroe on the west end of the courtyard.

The next tour begins right outside the courtyard. You'll see the StarLine tour office there, and you can ask them which bus or van you need to board.

See Los Angeles from a new perspective on an L.A. City Night Tour (by StarLine Tours), which includes Mulholland Drive, Beverly Hills, Disney Hall, the Performing Arts Center in downtown LA, Universal CityWalk, and more. The tour ends back at the Chinese Theatre courtyard, which is a short walk from the Red Line station so you can get back to your hotel.
