The tour’s highlight is Rodeo Drive, where you’ll discover how this street evolved from a bridle path where horses had right of way, to an international shopping destination.

    2. Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts

      Located on your right, the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts was originally the main Beverly Hills Post Office and was built in the Italian Renaissance style. It opened in 1934 due to the influence of Honorary Mayor and comedian Will Rogers and was designated Local Landmark No. 5 by the Beverly Hills Historical Society

    3. Beverly Hills Visitor Center

      On your left at a storefront is the Beverly Hills Visitor Center featuring a distinctive Beverly Hills shield, which is a half-height replica of the street signs that mark the city's entrances on major thoroughfares. This iconic shield is recognized worldwide.

      Pass by without stopping

    4. Rodeo Drive

      This street marks one of the most important retail spots in Los Angeles and is where Richard Carroll originally established the street as a place to buy men's clothing and has been home to Tommy Hilfiger, Brooks Brothers, and others.

      Pass by without stopping

    5. Anderton Court

      Located on your left at 332 North Rodeo Drive, the Anderton Court Shops is the only retail structure designed by the renowned American architect Frank Lloyd Wright who described the building as “a little gem of an unusual sort," due to its distinct Streamline Moderne and Art Deco spires, the spiral ramp, and central light well.

      Pass by without stopping

    6. The landmark hotel is situated on the northeast corner of the former Beverly Hills Speedway site that we mentioned earlier. It's hard to imagine a world championship car race was held here in 1926, drawing 70,000 spectators.

      Pass by without stopping

    7. The Church of the Good Shepherd

      Imagine a place where Hollywood royalty comes to pray, confess, and maybe get a little divine intervention for their next big movie role! Founded way back in 1923, this charming Mission Revival-style church has seen more famous faces than the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

      Pass by without stopping

    8. Spadena House

      This whimsical wonder at 516 North Walden Drive started its magical journey in 1921 as a film studio set in Culver City. Designed by Hollywood art director Harry Oliver, it was originally just offices and dressing rooms. But in 1926, it pulled a Cinderella move and transformed into a real home, relocating to its current spot in Beverly Hills.

    Audioguide

    My daughter 16 years of age helped me with the reservation. Since They call it a "guided tour " we thought we needed to purchase for each member of the family, when we could have been ok with only 1, since we're travelling from abroad and have limited access to mobile data. The should call it an audioguide and not a tour.

    Response from the operator: Hi there, I'm sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy this self-guided audio tour, especially since most travelers really enjoy it. Since the audio tour is GPS-triggered, we recommend that each person purchase their own copy of the tour. This way you can still do the tour as a group, but each person can go at their own pace. That way you can put in your headphones, pop your phone in your pocket and let the audio guide you down Rodeo Drive. We explain the process clearly in the description as well as the welcome email. Best, Helene

    Great use of time!

    This tour of Beverly Hills is the perfect blend of interesting history and cultural trivia. The guides voice is soothing and the length of tour is just right. A very enjoyable and efficient way to explore the area, far more informative than if I was floundering about on my own!

    Interesting facts about Beverly Hills

    I have spent plenty of time in this area, but I never knew all of the things I learned about on this tour. It's great! I suggest that anyone who enjoys visiting Beverly Hills will find out new things and enjoy the walk. A great meander with interesting info.

    Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive: A Self-Guided Audio Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Los Angeles.

    How much does Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive: A Self-Guided Audio Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $15 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Los Angeles usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive: A Self-Guided Audio Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Los Angeles is not rushed.

    Is Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive: A Self-Guided Audio Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Los Angeles, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive: A Self-Guided Audio Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive: A Self-Guided Audio Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive: A Self-Guided Audio Tour?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Los Angeles can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Los Angeles and add a light layer if any part of the 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive: A Self-Guided Audio Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Los Angeles within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Los Angeles?

    +

    Los Angeles rewards travellers who cluster their bookings by geography rather than by theme. Studio tours and Hollywood walks sit inland, the Malibu and Santa Monica coast runs west, and Griffith Observatory and the canyon hikes work best at dawn or dusk. We weight transport clarity in the ranking here: whether pickup is included changes an LA day more than the tour itself. On Outty we rank every Los Angeles experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hollywood Sign 2.5-Hour Tour with Comedians and Their Dogs, Los Angeles Hollywood Sign Hike: Front, Behind, and Expert Guide, Los Angeles Original 90-Minute Walking Tour to The Hollywood Sign. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Los Angeles?

    +

    March to May and September to November, for clear air and open canyon roads. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Los Angeles?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
