Activity itinerary

Santa Monica Pier
  • 30m
Be welcomed by the City of Angels, a city where the American dream comes true, the global centre of the entertainment industry. The sightseeing tour by LA and its areas gives you a great opportunity to take a glance at the world of beauty, harmony, and art. It will get you acquainted with the history, culture, and iconic landmarks. Make your way to Santa Monica Pier, an ocean pearl of Los Angeles with its amusement park, aquarium, wide sand beaches, pubs, restaurants, and other attractions. The pier is situated in the Western part of LA at the end of Colorado Avenue. Take a picture with the Route 66 end sign, a famous historic route. Listen to the catching stories about the Rout’s history as well as interesting information about the Pier and the outskirts. Don’t hesitate to ask whatever you want from your guide to get to know as many fun facts as possible. Take a chance to ride the Ferris wheel to see breathtaking panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, city, and the mountains.
Hollywood Walk of Fame
  • 50m
Your visit to LA is impossible to imagine without the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a monument to the entertainment industry’s achievements. Both pavements of Hollywood Boulevard have more than 2,700 stars with the names of actors, producers, musicians, and other celebrities embedded along 15 blocks. Your guide will take you to the most visited sight of the city to show you the most significant stars of brass. Flood your social networks with your favourite stars, share the pictures with your friends and followers. The City of Flowers and Sunshine is huge and unique. It is a hometown for the world-famous musicians, a place where creative people live and work. It is a diversity of ethnicities and cultures, vivid areas, beautiful nature, and thriving city life.
Venice Beach
  • 45m
Your guide will help you not to get lost in the city to obtain the most positive impression from the tour. Continue exploring and stroll through Venice Beach with its vibe of freedom, creativity, self-expression, and love. This is one of the most famous beaches in Los Angeles which attracts all the tourists and residents. It is not just an iconic landmark, it is the third popular symbol of the city after the Hollywood Sign and Santa Monica Ferris wheel. Walking along the 4 km boardwalk you may encounter a diversity of people, from actors and musicians to just bright and nontrivial people. The beach never sleeps as the morning is a jogging time and the nighttime feels the air with sounds, parties, and festivals. Venice is an area with artificial canals founded in 1905 by Abbot Kinney to create the “Venice of America.” The area is filled with an artistic atmosphere with a lot of art-galleries, murals, and party sites.
Rodeo Drive
  • 20m
Discover the 3-block trade area of LA, which has been the global shopping centre since 1970. Wander through Rodeo Drive with famous boutiques of Armani, Gucci, and Coco Chanel, jewellery stores of Cartier, and Tiffany. Recognise some places that were shot in famous films. Rodeo Drive is a perfect place to feel wealth, beauty, and fashion, which are synonyms to Los Angeles. Soak in the wonderful architecture, learn about famous buildings, and walk by Four Seasons Hotel, where John Lennon and Elvis Presley stayed.
Hollywood Sign
  • 30m
White letters that form HOLLYWOOD, surrounded by green slopes of Mount Lee are undoubtedly the most recognisable city sign in the world. Get closer to the symbol of the dream factory, Los Angeles, and California that appeared in 1923. Learn fun facts about the sign’s construction, history, and renovations. The Hollywood Sign is visible almost from any spot of the city, but you can enjoy the perfect perspective of the Sign from the Griffith Park viewpoint. Another popular place for taking pictures with the Sign is Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue crossing, near the Dolby Theatre.
