The Private Los Angeles Tour: The Half Experience from Long Beach

This private half-day tour from Long Beach is your direct route to the most iconic neighborhoods of Los Angeles—Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and more—without spending the entire day on the road. With a dedicated local guide, a comfortable private vehicle, and a thoughtfully timed itinerary, you’ll explore the highlights of LA in just around seven hours.

Your journey begins with a scenic ride inland from the Long Beach coast into Downtown Los Angeles. As you pass through the city center, your guide offers insight into historic and cultural landmarks including The Broad Museum, Union Station, LA City Hall, and the vibrant marketplace of Olvera Street. From there, continue into Hollywood for your first stop at the Hollywood Walk of Fame. You’ll have time to stroll the boulevard, visit the TCL Chinese Theatre, and grab iconic photos at the Dolby Theatre and El Capitan.

After Hollywood, the tour continues into the hills with a scenic drive along Mulholland Drive, where you’ll enjoy sweeping views of the Hollywood Sign, celebrity neighborhoods, and the studio lots of Warner Bros. and Universal Pictures below. Then stop for lunch (not included) at the beloved Original Farmers Market—home to dozens of local and international food vendors—before enjoying time to explore the adjacent shops and cafés at The Grove.

The afternoon features a narrated cruise down the Sunset Strip, lined with legendary venues like The Comedy Store, Chateau Marmont, Whisky a Go Go, and The Roxy. Your final stop is Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, where you’ll have time to browse luxury storefronts, visit the Beverly Hills Sign and Gardens, and take photos in front of the iconic Beverly Wilshire Hotel—the setting of Pretty Woman.

To close out the day, enjoy a final narrated drive through Century City, passing the 20th Century Fox Studio Lot, Fox Plaza (Die Hard), and Creative Artists Agency, before returning to Long Beach in the late afternoon. This tour is a stylish and time-smart way to explore LA’s most famous neighborhoods from the coast—without missing a beat.
