About this experience

The Private Los Angeles Highlights Tour introduces our guests to a private VIP guided experience that is unparalleled in its detail and scope. No other tour can include so much fun sightseeing and at so leisurely a pace. In five hours, you will see the best that Tinseltown has to offer from Hollywood to Beverly Hills and everything in between.

Los Angeles is very spread out and we cover many locations on the tour as possible. The goal of the tour is to be a great overview of the city. There will be many places that you will want to go to and spend more time at, although as an overview, this tour is terrific. We developed the tour to cover as many of the “bucket list items” as possible that most people ask to see.

This private tour offers multiple photo opportunities including The Hollywood Sign, The TLC Theatre, The “Walk of Fame,” The Beverly Hills Sign, Rodeo Drive, The Beverly Hills Hotel, The Playboy Mansion, the Sunset Strip, and so much more.
