Los Angeles: Hollywood & Celebrity Homes Open-Air Bus Tour

Two hours on an open-top bus from Hollywood City Tours’ stop at 6609 West Sunset Boulevard, with a live guide. The route passes the Walk of Fame, the TCL Chinese Theatre, the Dolby Theatre, the Capitol Records Building and Hollywood and Vine, climbs into the Hollywood Hills and along Mulholland Drive for the view of the Hollywood Sign, then runs through Beverly Hills past celebrity homes to a ten-minute photo stop at the Beverly Hills Sign. It is rated 4.1 from 1,690 reviews, from US$31 a person (checked October 2026).

What it is not: a tour with time on foot. Apart from the Beverly Hills Sign you stay on the bus, and the homes are seen from the street. Hotel pickup and tips are not included.

Who it suits: a short visit, a first look at the Hollywood Hills, and anyone who wants the cheapest seat on a big open-top bus. Its rating sits a little below Hollywood Bus Tours’ two-hour loop, from US$32, which covers the same ground. For a longer day from the same Sunset Boulevard stop, the operator’s LA Grand Tour adds Santa Monica and the Farmers Market, from US$76.

Reviewers mostly talk about the driver-guides; one in July 2026 said the driver took a panoramic photo of the family at the Beverly Hills Sign. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
