Itinerary and highlights
This small-group day tour (maximum 14 guests) begins with a stunning drive from Las Vegas, passing through high deserts, dry lakes, mountain ranges, the southern tip of Death Valley, and the iconic Mohave Yucca and Joshua Tree forests as you head toward Los Angeles and Hollywood. Once you reach Santa Monica, experience the quintessential California beach – the same sand made famous by Baywatch and countless Hollywood films! Soak up the sun, take a stroll along the beach, and enjoy a picnic lunch by the sparkling Pacific Ocean, capturing the essence of Southern California’s sun, sand, and movie stars.
Next, you'll cruise down the iconic Rodeo Drive, home to luxury designer boutiques. Experience the glitz and glam of Santa Monica Blvd and the legendary Sunset Strip, featured in countless songs and movies. The tour continues through Beverly Hills, where you'll spot the upscale neighborhood where many Hollywood stars call home.
Next, it’s time to explore Hollywood! Wander along the legendary Walk of Fame, where the stars of your favorite celebrities shine in the pavement. Snap a photo with the iconic stars, then visit the historic Chinese Theatre, home to the famous handprints and footprints of movie legends. Continue to the Dolby Theatre, the iconic venue where the Oscars are held, and keep an eye out for stars at the famous Roosevelt Hotel, a hotspot for celebrity sightings.
Take in the stunning views of the Hollywood Sign from the patio of the iconic Dolby Theatre (formerly known as the Kodak Theatre), a perfect spot for a memorable photo with one of Hollywood’s most famous landmarks in the background.
Relax on the scenic drive back to the sparkling lights of Las Vegas, passing through the charming towns of Barstow and Baker, and enjoy the peaceful desert landscapes before the excitement of the Strip awaits.
