The Hollywood Tour is a three‑hour, private drive through the heart of Los Angeles devoted to on‑location movie and television sites. You and your group select the places you care about—classics, cult favorites and modern hits—and the guide threads them into a route that also includes Hollywood staples like the Hollywood Sign, Rodeo Drive, the Walk of Fame and the Sunset Strip.

THE CINEMA

Stand Where the Scenes Were Shot

Choose from guaranteed film locations—everything from Nancy’s house in A Nightmare on Elm Street to Nakatomi Plaza from Die Hard—and visit sites seen in dozens of films and TV shows. The guide will place those stops into a single, photographic loop through Hollywood and Beverly Hills.

THE ROUTE

A Custom, Private Drive

This is a private tour tailored to your group: you pick your favorite locations and the guide builds a personalized 3‑hour route that still hits the neighborhood essentials—so no two tours are exactly the same.

THE EXPERIENCE

Photograph, Recreate, Remember

The tour encourages active participation: be ready to photograph, stand in, or even recreate moments from the films you love—bring props or dress up if you want to make images that feel cinematic.
