    About this experience

    We have done our own research so we've got the stories that no other tour can provide! Over the course of 2 hours, expect to cover roughly 1.5 miles of the famed Hollywood Boulevard, and more than a dozen paranormal and ghost sightings on stops at the Chinese Theater, the original downtown LA Pig N Whistle, Ripley’s Believe it or Not, and the Knickerbocker Hotel, among others, on the more than 10 stops.

    What's included

    Included

    • Guided tour of Hollywood Boulevard

    Not included

    • Alcoholic beverages

    What you'll see and do

    1. Dolby Theatre

      Home of the Oscars since 2002, you might assume this is just a great place to start the tour, but we are actually also at our first haunted location. Hear about how it was originally the site of the Hollywood Hotel, and how Hollywood’s original male heartthrob, Rudolph Valentino, would still frequent the hotel after death, planting goodnight kisses on the cheeks of female guests. Let’s just say the waitlist got long here once the word got out.

    2. Hollywood Wax Museum

      Long before it was the Hollywood Wax Museum, and currently the Stella Adler Academy of Acting and Theatre, this was the site of the 1920s Cafe Montmartre. The nightclub was more like the original Chateau Marmont when it came to a celebrity hangout for stars such as Charlie Chaplin and Gloria Swanson. Hear about the paranormal activities that have occurred here over the years, most notably a National Enquirer reporter’s night at the wax museum.

      10 minutes here

    3. If this place looks familiar, you may have seen it in the Quentin Tarantino movie “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” or the Netflix series “Hollywood.” This is Hollywood’s oldest restaurant, operating since 1919, and certainly has more history then almost anywhere in town. Hear about how this is where Johnny Depp learned he was going to be a blockbuster star, look at memorabilia of some of the restaurant’s most famous diners, and see the booth where Charlie Chaplin’s ghost reportedly still frequents. Nowadays, diners who have sat at his booth claim that his reflection is in the window behind him. Talk about a celebrity photo bomb…

      10 minutes here

    4. This is an awesome building with a ton of tragic, fun and mysterious history and ongoing hauntings. Hear about William Frawley, best known as the curmudgeonly neighbor Fred Mertz on “I Love Lucy,” who lived and died here many years apart. You’ll also get to learn about the seance arranged to communicate with Harry Houdini, which was broadcasted live from the rooftop.

      15 minutes here

    5. Hollywood and Vine

      Who is the Hollywood Golden Age actor who used to wait here for his audition results and still visits aspiring actors?

      10 minutes here

    6. Discover the fascinating history around the Ripley's Odd-itorium building and the ghost stories experienced by the people that work there!

      10 minutes here · Admission not included

    7. Pantages Theatre

      This theater is currently inhabited by spirits who seem to be here by choice. These are people that loved the theater in life and contine to enjoy their time here, even protecting people within its walls.

      10 minutes here · Admission not included

    8. Who is the actor that is said to still haunt the theater and what strange synchronicities arose around his untimely death?

      10 minutes here

    9. Site of the First Academy Awards & the most haunted building in all of Hollywood with ghost stories relating to Marilyn Monroe, Babe Ruth, Montgomery Clift and countless more with hauntings ranging from the rooftop to the pool and private rooms throughout.

    Hollywood Boulevard Ghost Walk: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Hollywood Boulevard Ghost Walk 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 Boulevard Ghost Walk take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 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 Boulevard Ghost Walk worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 9 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 Hollywood Boulevard Ghost Walk?

    +

    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 Boulevard Ghost Walk suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Hollywood Boulevard Ghost Walk?

    +

    Around 3 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Hollywood Boulevard Ghost Walk 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.
