Ride an open-air double-decker through Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, downtown LA, and studio stops.

5.TMZ Celebrity Tour and Big Bus Hop-on Hop-off Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 64 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $99

This Los Angeles combo pairs an approximately two-hour TMZ Celebrity Tour with one day of unlimited Big Bus access on the Hollywood and Beach loops. A live guide leads the celebrity-themed outing, while audio commentary accompanies the open-top bus. Expect famous sights and a celebrity face-match game, but do not count on seeing stars.

“The celebrity face match game was fun. We didn’t get a chance to see celebrities. It’s best if you do near a movie premiere or Grammy or Oscar week. You’ll see a bunch of them.”

6.Warner Bros. Studio Tour & Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour Package

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 55 reviews · 5 hours to 1 day (approx.) · from $112

Combine a 15-stop Hollywood hop-on hop-off pass, with a nine-language audio guide, and a guided Warner Bros. Studio Tour. See Hollywood sights, then make your own way to the studio for sets, props, Friends, Harry Potter, and DC exhibits. The studio tour lasts about three hours, but transportation there is not included.

“The tour was very good and we thoroughly enjoyed it. However, the Viator website states that you are going on a VIP tour, but it is just the same tour that every visitor to Warner Bros takes - so the description that Viator gives, is somewhat misleading.”

7.Celebrity Homes and Lifestyle Tour and Hop-on Hop-off Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 44 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $89Top rated

Start on Hollywood Boulevard for a two-hour guided ride through celebrity neighborhoods in an open-top sprinter van, with a photo stop at Universal City Overlook. Your ticket also includes 48 hours on Big Bus Tours’ open-top double-decker routes, 13 stops and a 30-minute TCL Chinese Theatre walking tour. Commentary is in English; the live guide’s name is not specified.

“This was a very fun way to spend 2 hours being a newbie to Los Angeles! We wanted to see the area and get a tour of the rich and famous homes, and this was the perfect solution. Our bus driver was knowledgeable and pointed out homes of people like Brittany Spears! Michael Jackson, Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber and more. Definitely would recommend this to anyone wanting the LA touristy experience! Also would recommend the Los Palmas garage (1721 north Las Palmas Dr) for parking…it was very close, they were very nice and it was only $20 for the entire day.”
