This private half-day tour from Hermosa Beach is the perfect way to experience LA’s most famous landmarks in a streamlined, engaging journey—without giving up your whole day. With a dedicated local guide, a comfortable private vehicle, and a route designed for efficiency and unforgettable sights, this 6.5-hour tour delivers a curated experience of Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and the heart of Los Angeles.

Begin with a relaxing drive from Hermosa Beach into Downtown LA, where your guide provides live narration as you pass historic and cultural icons like Union Station, The Broad Museum, LA City Hall, and Olvera Street. Then head to the heart of the entertainment capital with your first stop: the Hollywood Walk of Fame. You’ll have time to explore the boulevard’s famous theaters, including the TCL Chinese Theatre, Dolby Theatre, and El Capitan.

From there, enjoy a scenic ride up Mulholland Drive, where sweeping views of the Hollywood Sign, celebrity homes, and major studio lots like Warner Bros. and Universal Studios await. Your next stop is the historic Original Farmers Market, where you’ll have time to enjoy lunch (not included) from dozens of local and international food stalls and explore the adjacent Grove shopping district.

The afternoon unfolds with a narrated drive along the iconic Sunset Strip, where legendary music and nightlife venues like The Comedy Store, Chateau Marmont, Whisky a Go Go, and The Roxy line the street. You’ll then arrive at Rodeo Drive, where you can stroll the luxury shopping district, snap photos at the Beverly Hills Sign, and take in the glamor of the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, made famous by Pretty Woman.

Wrap up the day with a scenic pass through Century City, where you’ll spot the 20th Century Fox Studio Lot, Fox Plaza (the Die Hard tower), and Creative Artists Agency, before returning to Hermosa Beach around 4:30 PM. This half-day tour is a stylish, smart, and well-paced way to see the best of Los Angeles from the South Bay coast.
