Just about what you would expect for the price
Not a bad Tour for the Price . The ride was really nice on a beautiful day in an open Air bus. Jay, the driver was very nice and very informative however did not really liven up the Tour. You get to see some houses and some nice areas. The problem was he could not hear about 25% of the time what the Driver was saying because we did not have headphones and the noise of the traffic and outside noise made it impossible to hear.
Response from the operator: Hi Eric, Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the open-air ride and had a pleasant experience with Jay. However, we're sorry that traffic noise made it difficult to hear the commentary throughout the tour. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as your feedback helps us improve our guests' experiences. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you aboard again! Best regards, Mihai @ Big Bus Tours

Home tour
It was a fun tour. Wish we could have seen more of the “homes” themselves and not just the gates leading to the homes.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're delighted to hear that you had a fun tour and enjoyed the experience overall. We appreciate your comment about wanting to see more of the homes themselves rather than just the gates and entrances. Due to privacy considerations and local regulations, access and visibility can be limited in some neighborhoods. We're glad you still enjoyed the tour, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with us. BigBusTours@VladL

Pointless!
Unfortunately the back half of the bus roof was open so this made it that most of us who were sat from mid point to rear could not hear hardly anything as the driver was speaking whilst driving and with the air rushing through meant we couldn't hear him, making the point of a Celebrity and Lifestyle Tour pointless. We told the driver but he said there was nothing he could do although later mentioned he had switched a fan off to see if it helped. No headsets. No brochure that might help. He did mention at the start that he would not be able to slow or stop driving near homes. All of this plus his fast talking quiet voice meant we drove around without a clue where we were! Booked through Viator / Big Bus Tours thinking it would be as good as other tours but sadly it was a waste of time and money. We all felt the same.
Response from the operator: Hi! Thank you for taking the time to share this detailed feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your Celebrity and Lifestyle Tour was such a disappointing experience and felt like a waste of your time and money. The primary goal of this tour is to provide an engaging and informative look into the area, and it is incredibly frustrating to hear that open-air wind noise, a quiet microphone setup, and a lack of visual materials left you and your fellow passengers completely in the dark. While we do have to comply with local regulations regarding driving speeds and stopping near private homes, our audio delivery should always be clear enough to overcome those factors. We completely understand why the tour felt pointless under these conditions. We take your comments regarding the lack of brochures, missing headsets, and the audio setup very seriously. We are escalating this directly to our local operations manager to ensure our onboard equipment is properly calibrated for open-top driving and that backup materials are always available for our guests. Because you booked through Viator / Big Bus Tours, we would love the opportunity to look into your specific booking and address your concerns directly. Please reach out to our dedicated customer care team with your booking reference number so we can look into this for you. Razvan@BigBusTours

This one fell short…
Been on many tours in many places. This one fell short. Felt like our guide was in a rush driving fast. “Hope you saw that.” There was a street closure. He said he thought about learning about new neighborhoods but didn’t bother because the closure is temporary. Instead we sat in traffic to get around it while he blasted his music. Upon return, he actually said “sorry the tour was ruined because of the street closure.” The company could have and should have had a plan B, as he suggested but “didn’t bother.” Perhaps actually drive down Rodeo Drive as we saw other vans doing for example? Had the driver been dynamic and engaging, perhaps I’d feel differently. I just got the sense he was punching the clock and looking forward to getting back. I felt the same way, unfortunately.

Celebrity Homes & Lifestyle Tour of Hollywood and Beverly Hills: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Los Angeles.
How does Celebrity Homes & Lifestyle Tour of Hollywood and Beverly Hills compare to similar tours in Los Angeles?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Los Angeles, with an Outty Ranking of 91. At $39 it sits above the typical similar option ($29), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families and travelers short on time.
Who is Celebrity Homes & Lifestyle Tour of Hollywood and Beverly Hills best for?
+
It suits families and travelers short on time best, based on its 2-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Is Celebrity Homes & Lifestyle Tour of Hollywood and Beverly Hills good value?
+
It is a premium pick. It starts at $39, above the $29 typical for similar experiences in Los Angeles.
How much does Celebrity Homes & Lifestyle Tour of Hollywood and Beverly Hills cost?
+
Prices start at $39 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 Celebrity Homes & Lifestyle Tour of Hollywood and Beverly Hills take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Celebrity Homes & Lifestyle Tour of Hollywood and Beverly Hills worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 719 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Los Angeles, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Celebrity Homes & Lifestyle Tour of Hollywood and Beverly Hills?
+
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 Celebrity Homes & Lifestyle Tour of Hollywood and Beverly Hills suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Celebrity Homes & Lifestyle Tour of Hollywood and Beverly Hills?
+
Around 252 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Celebrity Homes & Lifestyle Tour of Hollywood and Beverly Hills 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, Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Celebrity Homes Tour by Open-Air Bus. 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.
What is included in Celebrity Homes & Lifestyle Tour of Hollywood and Beverly Hills?
+
Included: Digital commentary aboard Hop-on Hop-off (if option selected); 24-Hour Hop-on Hop-off Tour (if option selected); 2-hour of Hollywood Celebrity Homes and Lifestyle Tour; Photo stop at the Universal City Overlook; and Live Guide. Not included: Celebrity Tour not a hop-on hop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

Hop on at Stop #1, our Visitor Center. As part of the online booking process, you will need to select your tour date and time. Please arrive 15 minutes in advance of your tour start time. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Celebrity Homes & Lifestyle Tour of Hollywood and Beverly Hills offered in?
+

+
