For this particular tour, Glitterati Tours has listed a handful of fantastic starting points. We can also pick up anywhere within the city limits of West Hollywood and Beverly Hills. Please keep in mind that Los Angeles is a MASSIVE spread out city, so we have to limit tours to the starting locations provided. Therefore, there are many places outside of the area that we cannot start or end tours, which includes locations such as Downtown Los Angeles, LAX, San Pedro, Long Beach and Anaheim.

West Side Story and Ultimate L.A. Tour

Davis was an excellent tour guide. He picked us up in a beautiful luxury Lincoln Navigator truck, took awesome pictures of us and was very knowledgeable! Each tour felt special, I love that if we wanted to stay somewhere longer he’d make it the last part of the trip so we could stay as long as we wanted to.

Operator response

What a nice review, thank you. I'll be sure to share this with David. He is such a great ambassador for the city!
