Not worth the time or money
Very disappointed with this 2hour tour in a very dirty vehicle. Trash, dirt and very shabby. The driver was okay but hit the brakes too hard throwing us forward. The second hour of the tour was worthless going thru West Hollywood where driver pointed out 4 or 5 landmarks. I would not recommend this tour.

Waste of time and money
Always apprehensive about tours but this has good reviews and in the current heat wave seemed a good option to get the kids around the main sights. Arrived at the meeting point to the office and very unfriendly staff - no greeting or even acknowledgement. The tour “bus” advertised as open top was a very old Jeep style thing with a roof and open sides. Really old and rickety. Tour is just driving around Hollywood up to Muholland Drive and back down to Beverly Hills. You whizz by everything with no time to tanner photos or even see much. Hollywood sign only spotted from miles away though a building gap. We got off at Beverly Hills and didn’t bother going back through WEHO it was so disappointing. Kids didn’t enjoy it at all either. For us on the NZD was really expensive and so not worth it unfortunately.

Hollywood and Celebrity Homes Bus Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Los Angeles.
How much does Hollywood and Celebrity Homes Bus Tour 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 Hollywood and Celebrity Homes Bus Tour 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 Hollywood and Celebrity Homes Bus Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 2,341 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Los Angeles, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hollywood and Celebrity Homes Bus 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 Hollywood and Celebrity Homes Bus Tour 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 Hollywood and Celebrity Homes Bus Tour?
+
Around 819 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 Hollywood and Celebrity Homes Bus 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, 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 Hollywood and Celebrity Homes Bus Tour?
+
Included: Driver/Tour Guide. Not included: Gratuities; and Parking fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Hollywood and Celebrity Homes Bus Tour?
+
Tour Pickup Address: 6609 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028 All Day Parking is available at 1528 Schrader Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90028 for $15. Mention Hollywood City Tours. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Hollywood and Celebrity Homes Bus Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

+

+
