Wish I would have saved our money. I couldn't get off the bus soon enough. Tour guide was unenthusiastic and just kept repeating himself. Not even sure if half of the information he gave out is correct. Save your money and drive around yourself.

Great tour, Information and tour guide Yoddy!
Yoddy was our tour guide for Starlines and he did a great job!! He was very entertaining and knowledgeable, giving us the history of the area and star’s homes. He also made my daughter and I bust out laughing quite a few times! Such a fun tour! Would ask for Yoddy again!👍

Very Disappointing — Not the Los Angeles Sightseeing Tour We Were Promised
We purchased this tour from the kiosk in front of the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. Before buying the tickets, I specifically told the salesperson three separate times that we were NOT interested in a celebrity homes tour. I explained very clearly that we wanted to see the major sights and attractions of Los Angeles. Each time, she assured me that this was an LA sightseeing tour and would take us to the interesting and important places around the city. Unfortunately, that was not what we received. When we arrived for the tour, we were put into an old, open-sided mini bus with no windows and no air conditioning, with a metal roof overhead. We happened to take the tour on an extremely hot September day, and sitting in that vehicle for approximately two hours was incredibly uncomfortable. Even worse, about an hour and a half of the tour was essentially a celebrity homes tour—the exact thing I had repeatedly said I did not want. We drove around areas such as Mulholland Drive while the driver pointed out supposed celebrity homes. Most of the time, all we could see were bushes, gates, fences, or walls. There was virtually nothing to see. At one point I even asked the other passengers—two other families—and they also said they were not particularly interested in seeing celebrity homes. The driver was also the tour guide, and the audio quality was terrible. It was difficult to hear and understand much of what he was saying, which made the experience even less worthwhile. Another thing that really bothered me was a sign above the mirror suggesting a $15 tip per person for the tour guide/driver. Tipping is obviously a personal choice, but prominently suggesting $15 per person felt excessive considering we had already paid for a guided tour—and especially considering the quality of the experience. The biggest issue, however, is simple: we specifically asked what kind of tour we were purchasing and were assured that it was not primarily a celebrity homes tour. That assurance did not match the tour we actually received. If you want to see Los Angeles landmarks and attractions, I would not recommend this tour based on our experience. Ask exactly where the tour stops and how much time is devoted to celebrity homes before paying, and don’t rely only on a salesperson’s description. For us, this was a waste of both our money and our limited sightseeing time in Los Angeles.

It was really fun! The driver was very funny and the sites were what we wanted to see. I would recommend this tour.

Wouldn’t Recommend
Although I don’t have another celebrity tour to compare it to, I can say it was completely average. Out guide/driver really went hard on what a bunch of marginal to loser individuals we all were, being unable to afford these $10 million houses we were seeing. I think he thought it was funny, but maybe the 1st time? The 5th? Just got insulting. Also, a lot of it seemed very dated or irrelevant. I’m in my early 60s but don’t care about where the Beatles stayed in 1964 or 1967. Also, I might have been the only person on the tour who knows who Pat Boone is - just not interested. Likewise, we were the majority of houses we were shown were places people used to live. Shrug. Lastly, although it may be customary I found the request for a tip after the trip to be heavy handed. Just charge me what it costs - don’t hit me up later for more. Wouldn’t do it again.

Celebrity Homes & Lifestyle Tour of Hollywood & Beverly Hills: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Los Angeles.
How much does Celebrity Homes & Lifestyle Tour of Hollywood & Beverly Hills cost?
+
Prices start at $49 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 & 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 & Beverly Hills worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 313 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 Celebrity Homes & Lifestyle Tour of Hollywood & 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 & 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 & Beverly Hills?
+
Around 110 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 & 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, Griffith Observatory Hike: Guided Tour through Griffith Park. 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 & Beverly Hills?
+
Included: Dedicated Photo Stops; Open-Air Sightseeing Bus; Professional Live Guide; Individual Audio Headsets; and 2-Hour Guided Sightseeing Tour. Not included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Food and beverages; and Gratuities / Tips for driver and tour guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
Redeem your ticket at the Starline Tours' Visitor Center located inside the Ovation Hollywood Shopping Mall on the 2nd floor, suit #203. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

+

+
