What you'll see
Take part in this exciting, five-hour, competitive tour in Los Angeles to combine sightseeing with a scavenger hunt. This interactive experience combines the fun of the television show Amazing Race with the suspense of the Da Vinci Code.
Meet up with your teammates at a central location in either Hollywood or Santa Monica (choose when you book), and receive your first set of tricky clues to set off on your own Amazing Race. Like the TV show, each clue will lead you to a new location and a new clue. The team that solves all the clues and crosses the finish line in the least amount of time is crowned the winner!
Each departure point offers a different adventure. If you’d like to be near the ocean, choose the Santa Monica departure for an interesting beachside twist and to see some local hidden gems. For city sights, choose the Hollywood experience, where you’ll pass some of the most popular sights in Hollywood and downtown LA, such as Grauman's Chinese Theatre, the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Walt Disney Concert Hall.
