What to expect
Hollywood Walk of Fame
We’ll start your LA in a Day tour in Hollywood (where else) and show you how and why L.A. became the center of the American entertainment industry. There’s a huge amount of fascinating movie history surrounding the famous Walk of Fame, including the oldest house in Hollywood (where Charlie Chaplin’s kids went to school), the Capitol Records Building, the Egyptian Theater, the Dolby Theater (home of the Oscars) and the TCL Chinese Theater, and you’ll learn about it all.
Hollywood
Experience this famous neighborhood at ground level and learn its fascinating history.
Hollywood Sign
See and learn about this icon of Los Angeles.
TCL Chinese Theatres
See the famous theatre and its forecourt of the stars. Take time to get some photos for Instagram while there too.
Civic Center
We take the subway to downtown – it’s actually the fastest way to get there. DTLA is where the city was founded, in 1781, and it has a huge number of iconic buildings, such as Los Angeles City Hall and the Walt Disney Concert Hall.
City Hall
An icon of Art Deco design and famous from movies and TV shows.
The Music Center
A lovely part of DTLA.
Walt Disney Concert Hall
One of the most influential modern buildings, in terms of design.
The Broad
Pass by this newest addition to the Grand Avenue cultural collection.
Angels Flight Railway
Take this historic funicular down from Bunker Hill.
Grand Central Market
We pause your LA in a Day tour for lunch at one of the top food destinations in America, Grand Central Market. There are a huge number of (very reasonably) priced options here and all types of diet can be accommodated. You'll love it.
Downtown Los Angeles
Every week hip new restaurants, bars, Apple stores, creative offices and apartment blocks are opening in the area. Many people don’t realize it’s also the best-preserved historic downtown of any major city in America (with some of the best architecture in the world, including many beautiful examples of the Beaux Arts, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, modern and post-modern styles).
Fine Arts Building
Step into this beautiful lobby from the 1920's (weekdays only).
Santa Monica Pier
Walk out onto this historic pier, built more than 100 years ago and often used as a location in classic movies.
Santa Monica Place
Once in SaMo we’ll give you a tour of the area (including the famous Santa Monica Pier), before finishing your LA in a Day tour at 3rd Street Promenade, a perfect place to watch the sun set while enjoying cocktails and dinner. By now you’ll have had a real experience of Los Angeles and made some great memories to take home with you.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
