This private half-day tour from Venice Beach offers a time-efficient way to explore Los Angeles’ most iconic neighborhoods—without the hassle of driving, planning, or parking. With your own local guide and private vehicle, you’ll enjoy guided stops, drive-through narration, and plenty of opportunities for great photos—all in under six hours.

Start with a narrated drive through Downtown Los Angeles, where you’ll pass historic and cultural landmarks including Union Station, The Broad Museum, and LA City Hall. Then make your way to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, where you’ll have time to walk the boulevard and explore landmarks like the TCL Chinese Theatre, Dolby Theatre, and El Capitan.

From there, enjoy scenic views along Mulholland Drive and Melrose Avenue, with photo-worthy sights of celebrity homes, studio backlots, and LA’s famous street art. Stop for lunch (not included) at the Original Farmers Market, with time to browse shops at The Grove.

In the afternoon, you’ll cruise the legendary Sunset Strip, passing iconic music venues and comedy clubs, before wrapping up the day with a final stop at Rodeo Drive—where palm-lined streets and luxury boutiques meet the charm of old Hollywood. After a full sweep of LA’s most famous districts, you’ll return to Venice Beach by late afternoon, relaxed and full of new stories.
