Bad experience
We made it to the pickup location 30 minutes early, but the guy said since I missed his call, I had to reschedule to a later time which were 3hrs later and had to pay an additional $10… the bus was hot and the tour guy talk too much
Response from the operator: Hi teearance_M. Thank you for sharing your honest feedback as we always try to improve our customer experience. We’re sorry to hear the bus tour did not meet your expectations. If you would like to share more details, please feel free to reach out to us directly and we will assist you.

" You Can Do Better"
I paid basically 110 dollars for 2 people, please save your money . Took this tour at 4pm on a Wednesday, The tour was not worth the money, all the tour bus did was take us around a few streets to show us where celebrities might hang out or use to hang out. Your paying for the name, 20 dollars should have been the cost at most. The host tried to do his best so I'll give him a C+ at best. A person can do better with a rent a car, but you won't know the history on some of the locations you visited. Search around for other tour services before choosing this one. People on the street tend to wave as the TMZ bus is going by, but that's because it's a TMZ bus.

Poor
I think this was overly hyped and I could have done another tour for fraction of the price. I would honestly just want my money back. Truly disappointed.

We take your feedback seriously and want to look into this for you.

Try not to get stuck in the very back
It was very entertaining and informative. We sat in the back on the left. Unfortunately, the back has no windows. And most things are on the right side. And because we were not allowed to stand up, it was nearly impossible to see anything or take any pictures. But, the tour guide was funny and told great stories!
Response from the operator: Hello Sandra! We appreciate your review. It's great to know that you found the tour both entertaining and informative, and that our guide brought some humor to the experience. We're sorry to hear that you weren't able to take any pictures, and we will definitely consider your feedback. Looking forward to seeing you again soon! Best, Ana from Big Bus Tours.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
LA: TMZ Hollywood Celebrity Tour with Live Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Los Angeles.
How much does LA: TMZ Hollywood Celebrity Tour with Live Guide 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 LA: TMZ Hollywood Celebrity Tour with Live Guide 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 LA: TMZ Hollywood Celebrity Tour with Live Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 37 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 LA: TMZ Hollywood Celebrity Tour with Live Guide?
+
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 LA: TMZ Hollywood Celebrity Tour with Live Guide 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 LA: TMZ Hollywood Celebrity Tour with Live Guide?
+
Around 13 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 LA: TMZ Hollywood Celebrity Tour with Live Guide 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.
