Your Hollywood, Your Way
A private Hollywood tour dedicates a guide and vehicle exclusively to your group — the itinerary, the pace, the stops, and the depth are entirely customisable. Los Angeles is a city of 1,300 square kilometres with attractions spread across Hollywood, Beverly Hills, the Westside (Santa Monica, Venice), downtown, and the surrounding neighbourhoods — a private guide manages the geography, the traffic (LA traffic is a genuine logistical factor), and the narrative, building a day around what your group actually wants to see rather than a fixed route.
Private tours are the format that accommodates special requests — a specific celebrity home, a particular restaurant, a studio lot tour, a shopping stop on Rodeo Drive, a sunset at Griffith Observatory — woven into a coherent day by a guide who knows the city’s rhythms and routes.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a private Hollywood tour cost?
Typically $300–800 for a half-day (4–5 hours) and $500–1,200 for a full day (8–10 hours) depending on the vehicle and the guide. Pricing is per tour, not per person — groups split the cost.
Can a private tour include studio lot visits?
Some guides can arrange studio lot tours (Warner Bros., Paramount, Universal) as part of a private day. Studio tours are separately ticketed and require advance booking. The guide manages the scheduling.
Is a private tour worth the premium?
For families, groups with specific interests, visitors who want flexibility, and anyone who values the absence of 40 other tourists on the same bus — yes. For solo travellers on a budget, the open-air bus tours provide excellent value and strong coverage.
