Average tour
Nice walk on Hollywood blvd, the little history they gave was more interesting than the ghost stories. I did not finish this tour
Response from the operator: We appreciate your feedback and will take your comments into consideration as we work to improve our tours.

Hollywood, Historic & Fun!
Great experience! (There were a few internet tour-play glitches along the way). Overall, we had an amazing time learning so much about Hollywood and unknown historical events. Having grownup in Beverly Hills and privy to lots of history on Hollywood, we were very pleased. Thanks!
Response from the operator: Thanks for the review, glad you enjoyed it!

Loved it
Great Podcast, lots of history about downtown LA. If you love ghost stories this ones for you. Best part of the tour is that you get to do it at your own pace. I love group tours, but sometimes I want to check out the buildings and do some exploring on my own and that’s what you get with this one. You can pause and start up at anytime, and I love that. I was able to stop on the strip and have a slice of pizza and a drink then started back up again. This was a great way to get in a good chill walk and enjoy the scenery.
Response from the operator: Thanks for the review Les! We're happy you enjoyed it. Hopefully the slice of pizza was good too!

Ok tour
This was ok? It takes you down Hollywood Blvd and points put some of the buildings, but the ghost stories aren't that great. It's a lot of "oh, there might be something here" and not a lot of actual story telling. There also isn't a "walk until you get here " part of the tale, so you do have to toggle back and forth to the map Also, the description lists this as flat. It is EXCEPT the first stop. This is up a pretty steep hill, so if you have mobility issues, you might want to skip it (although there are bathrooms there....)
Response from the operator: Thanks for the feedback, it's really quite helpful for us to update the tour as it's still pretty new. We adjusted the difficulty level and slope rating on the tour listing to reflect the first stop being on a hill. We've also updated the tour to include voice directions to the next point of interest. This way users can navigate using the voice directions or GPS map, whichever they prefer. Regarding the ghost stories, we try to walk the line between a traditional "ghost story" and discussing the interesting history that leads to them. We'll keep your comments in mind though for future tours as well as updates to this one. Thanks again!

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Lost Souls of Hollywood Blvd: a Smartphone Audio Ghost Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Los Angeles.
How much does Lost Souls of Hollywood Blvd: a Smartphone Audio Ghost Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $10 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 Lost Souls of Hollywood Blvd: a Smartphone Audio Ghost Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour 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 Lost Souls of Hollywood Blvd: a Smartphone Audio Ghost Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 4 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 Lost Souls of Hollywood Blvd: a Smartphone Audio Ghost 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 Lost Souls of Hollywood Blvd: a Smartphone Audio Ghost Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lost Souls of Hollywood Blvd: a Smartphone Audio Ghost Tour?
+
Around 1 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lost Souls of Hollywood Blvd: a Smartphone Audio Ghost 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, 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.
