    Awesome Tour!

    Daniel was awesome. I was a little apprehensive to go on a tour because I don’t walk very fast and I need to stop once in a while. Daniel was perfect. He had a great pace, never felt rushed. He shared good information, he was very personable, loved the places he took us to. Loved the tour would definitely recommend to everyone.

    The best LA Guide EVER

    This was the most perfect guided tour of LA! He took us to all the amazing sights and knew where to go to get a perfect picture in front of the Hollywood sign! I’m still talking about this tour years later to my friends!

    Amazing tour of LA!

    This was a great tour for a first time visitor of LA, Daniel was so friendly and knowledgable and took great pictures! The tour was personal as it was only 6 people. We had an amazing lunch at farmers market, explored Hollywood and Beverley Hills and Melrose Avenue to see the street art. The view of the Hollywood sign was great. There really isn’t a better way to see the city! The only thing I noticed was the spot we went to for the Hollywood sign was slightly different to the pictures advertised as the pictures looked more like an open field space with a slightly different view to the road view we had. This did not take away from the experience. I would also have liked to have spent slightly longer at the Farmers Market just as it is so big but again this did not retract from the day. Thank you so much Daniel!

    Bad overpriced trip

    Absolutely terrible trip and a waste of money for such a short look-around. The windows were tinted so we couldn't see much when we were in the car. The guide was rude and made us feel uncomfortable with his "anecdotes". Please do not book with this guide, it's so much better to visit all of these things alone.

    The Ultimate LA and Hollywood Photo Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does The Ultimate LA and Hollywood Photo Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $79 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 The Ultimate LA and Hollywood Photo Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 4.5 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 The Ultimate LA and Hollywood Photo Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 247 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Los Angeles, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule The Ultimate LA and Hollywood Photo 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 The Ultimate LA and Hollywood Photo Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book The Ultimate LA and Hollywood Photo Tour?

    +

    Around 86 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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does The Ultimate LA and Hollywood Photo 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 The Ultimate LA and Hollywood Photo Tour?

    +

    Included: Drinking Water - bring your own reusable bottle, but I will have bottles of water for peop; Skilled Photographer (me!) - for fantastic photos of you at the best spots with your phone; and Private transportation in air-conditioned vehicle from start to finish of the tour. Not included: Gratuities; Pick-up & drop-off transportation to get to and from the meeting point; and Bring money for food & drink stop or lunch stop during the tour. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for The Ultimate LA and Hollywood Photo Tour?

    +

    We will meet by the front of the parking lot close to the front door of Mel's Drive-In Hollywood. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is The Ultimate LA and Hollywood Photo Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for The Ultimate LA and Hollywood Photo Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is The Ultimate LA and Hollywood Photo Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to The Ultimate LA and Hollywood Photo Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
