Description

The Movie Guys’ L.A. Film Locations Tour will take you to the locations where your favorite movies (and some TV shows!) were filmed, with a unique experience catered entirely to what you want to see. Once you book, we'll be in touch for you to pick one section of L.A.: Hollywood West Valley East Valley West Side East Side This way, you can see as much as possible in your time on tour. If we visited more than one section, we’d spend most of your time driving, not vacationing. In each section, I’ve listed 20-30 locations we could visit and you pick your top ten spots - those will be guaranteed! No reason for me to pick places from movies you don’t like or have never seen, YOU pick the locations and it’ll be a greatest hits of just the films you love. Other reasons this tour is unique: - We get out of the car and take pics! - One-on-one attention. We don’t have a bus, so you won’t get lost in the crowd while we spill a script on you.

The Movie Guys’ L.A. Film Locations Tour will take you to the locations where your favorite movies (and some TV shows!) were filmed. We’ve divided Los Angeles into Five sections: Hollywood, West Valley, East Valley, West Side and East Side. Once you book, we'll be in touch for you to pick one section. This way, you can see as much as possible in your time on tour. If we visited more than one section, we’d spend most of your time driving, not vacationing. Customizing the tour for your liking is crucial. In each section, I’ve listed 20-30 locations we could visit and you pick your top ten spots - those will be guaranteed!

Fantastic customized tour

Completely personalized tour. We zipped around in a Prius to get to areas where tour buses can’t go.

Operator response

I love that you brought that up! Yes, the Hollywood hills are open for business for movie locations from DOUBLE INDEMNITY, SUNSET BLVD., and more. Thank you!

Movie Guys - Horror Tour

Paul definitely knows his movies! My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Paul and would highly recommend touring with the Movie Guys. The tour was relaxing, tailored to our needs. Plenty of time was made available to explore the various locations. As an added bonus, Paul pointed out locations that were not part of our initial tour! It was a nice touch. Thank you

Operator response

Yeah, there's movie stuff and Hollywood history EVERYWHERE. It'd be a shame to just drive by it all, so...stories will be told! And I'm glad you had a relaxing time on something called THE HORROR TOUR!! Must be doing something right...! Thanks for the review!

Dream come true Horror Tour!

Paul is such a genuine and kind soul who loves movies just as much as we do! The Tour was a true dream come true for us! His knowledge of Movies, LA and it's history is incredible! Our Horror Tour ruled! We had so much fun! Could have gone for hours more there's too much to see and do out there, its so exciting! Would love to and dream to come back and go for more! Can't thank Paul enough for everything!!!! I'll only post a few pictures to give anyone on the fence a look into some of it 🤓🤘🎃🔪🧟‍♂️💀

Operator response

Thanks so much! As dark and twisted as horror movies can be, I find the fans to be the nicest, most fun people in fandom! My pleasure to show you around.

Exceptional Film Locations Tour with a Truly Passionate Guide

This was my second tour with Paul, and once again, he absolutely delivered! This time, I brought my wife along, and we both had an incredible experience. Paul is a fantastic guide — knowledgeable, engaging, and full of fascinating stories about famous film locations around Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and the Hollywood Walk of Fame. What made the experience extra special was how he tailored the tour to suit the places and sights we wanted to see. It’s rare to find someone who brings such passion and storytelling talent to their work. We left with a deeper appreciation for the city and its film history — and we’re already looking forward to our next visit so we can book another tour with Paul!

Operator response

Let's do it! Thanks much. I love showing off L.A. Twist my arm to do it.

Highly recommended

Had a fantastic time on my recent tour. Paul was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable about the sites, the movies, and Los Angeles in general, and even had plenty of recommendations for other things to do while I was in town. If you like to sit around and talk about movies with your friends, you’ll feel right at home here. I booked a full day to see as much as possible, and Paul was able to work out a great itinerary, and even squeezed in a couple of special requests. I appreciated the effort that he put in to providing movie screenshots of the sites and even a soundtrack of movie scores for the drive. Really can’t recommend him highly enough.

Operator response

Special requests are my thing! I'm all about customization, I'm glad you enjoyed that part of the tour, and more!

Great behind the scenes tour of Hollywood for film fanatics and everyone else

I never post reviews but Paul was amazing! My son is a huge Beverly Hills Cop fan and Paul did not disappoint. From the building where Axel Foley got thrown out of storefront window to the Hotel he stayed at, Paul covered it all. He also threw the in a bunch of stops for the parents but the highlight of the experience was the visit to Griffith Observatory. The parking lot was full but Paul used his mojo to get us in anyway. If you are seeking an intimate behind the scenes tour of Hollywood history then The Movie Guys is the way to go!

Operator response

Thanks for this! I'm all about customization and some of those BEVERLY HILLS COP pics were epic. Had a great time!

Better tour than some of...

Better tour than some of the big studios. Experience is geared towards what you love. You don’t feel rushed. Paul goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience.

Operator response

A lot happened on the studio lots but an equal amount happened on the streets of L.A. to make these movies happen! I was happy to show it to you. Thanks for the kind words.
