Itinerary

Pass by

First opened in 1927, the Chinese Theater has been the heart of many world-famous movie premiers, three Academy-Awards ceremonies, and currently seats 932 people. It's possibly the most recognizable movie-palace in LA and is the home of the Hollywood Celebrity hand and foot-prints tiles.

15 min

The Hollywood Walk of Fame is one of the most well known locations of Hollywood and LA. It runs over a mile along West Hollywood, and currently comprises of more than 2,600 individual stars of musicians, actors, directors, producers, and entertainment stars of every kind.

Pass by

While originally known as The Central, The Viper Room was opened in 1993 and owned by Johnny Depp and Sal Jenco. Since then, the club has been known as a popular hang-out and preferred club of many Hollywood Elite. It's mainly known as a music venue, but also beloved as a whisky bar.

Pass by

Completed in 1956, the Capitol Records Building is a unique location in Hollywood. It is a 13 story entirely round tower like a stack of records on a turntable with a tall spindle. Capitol Records has worked closely with Frank Sinatra, The Beach Boys, and Paul McCartney.

Pass by

The first American Whisky a Go-Go was opened in 1958, and known as one of the earliest, if not the first, American discotheque. It has been the launching pad of No Doubt, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, Guns N' Roses and many many more.

Pass by

The Dolby Theater is now the center of the annual Academy Awards, and very close to the TLC Chinese Theater. It was designed specifically for the Oscars, and seats over 3000 people. Often when not hosting the awards it acts as a stage for televised stage-based shows like American Idol.

15 min

The Sunset Strip portion of Sunset Boulevard has been a center of Hollywood Night-Life for over half a century, and the rest of the strip is lined with recognizable buildings and signs featured in many, many movies. It features world-class clubs, celebrity favorite restaurants, and entertainment of all kinds.

Pass by

Fascinating information about Los Angeles and the people who have made it historic is revealed. Stars whose names are as commonly known as anything, glitzy buildings with historic charm and storied pasts, and so much more. Come and join us, be driven around town by the best hospitality professionals in the city of angels, and learn (in an incredibly fun way) the back stories and history of the fascinating destination Hollywood.

We didn’t see much to be...

We didn’t see much to be honest, just drove around. We had seen some things prior and informed them. I don’t think a private tour was worthwhile

Amazing, informative tour of LA (warts and all)

In LA for a couple of nights so took the opportunity to book this tour. I was Fully expecting the run of the mill generic info on celebrity homes and major sites. How wrong we were. Ben and trainee guide Tyler took us to all the standard sites but also gave us background on what city was really like both good and not so good bits. Some good tips on travelling to and what to do when we move onto Santa Monica. He also took us behind the scenes at sites and acted as a photographer for the whole tour. I felt the conversation was a two way process giving us the possibility to take in as much as we possibly could over the 5 hour personalised tour. I like to think he learned something about England, even if it was only that we have alternative food to fish and chips. So if you want to have a good laugh and a decent conversation whilst learning where stars lived (and died). Get this tour booked via Kenneth who made the process very simple.

Operator response

We are happy to hear that you were able to see LA at it's finest, the good the ba while being able to take in the history, and beauty that it offers. Benjamin and Tyler are both great! We love hearing that our guides were willing and capable photographers. Having photos to go along with your memories is always a plus. Thank you for the kind words about how I made your booking processes simple. It's my goal to not only provide you with a unique and informative tour, but to make it as simple as possible. We look forward to hosting you on "Another" tour in Los Angeles, San Diego or Las Vegas, in the near future.

We did it our way!!

Had great time on this tour and since it was just my wife and I they were very accommodating to what we really wanted to see. This really is the tour to take to be able to fit in your specific priorities.

No Better Value

It has been over a week since we had our private highlights tour of LA and we are still constantly thinking about that memorable day. The MB van that we rode around in was super clean, comfortable and easy to get in and out of. Our driver, Benjamin, was awesome! He had a great personality, answered questions for us, and wherever possible did a little customization of plans along the way. If you are trying to see the highlights of LA there is no better way than to utilize the service that Another Side of Los Angeles Tours provides. The value is worth every penny of cost!

Operator response

We are so happy your tour was very memorable. We appreciate the positive feedback and we are happy we met all of your expectations! We look forward to seeing you soon on "Another" tour in San Diego, Los Angeles, or Las Vegas. Thank You.

LA & Hollywood up-close in luxury

We had a great half day private tour with Mika, we covered so much of LA in such a short time thanks to Mika's extensive knowledge of the city. We learnt so many interesting facts and got an up-close encounter withe the famous HOLLYWOOD sign! Great pics and a fun filled day. Thanks so much for making our last day so memorable.

Forget the bus, do the celebrity homes in style

a well recommended tour with that personal touch that you don't get on a group tour; we saw a real inside perspective on LA celebrity homes with Micah who was an attentive and informed guide
