Big Bus Los Angeles Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour
Los Angeles sprawls across 500 square miles, making it impossible to see everything on foot. This hop-on hop-off bus tour solves that problem by connecting 17 major attractions across two routes covering Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and Santa Monica. You get 24 or 48 hours of unlimited rides, letting you explore at your own pace.
The Red and Blue routes hit all the essential LA spots: the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Beverly Hills' Rodeo Drive, Santa Monica Pier, and viewpoints for the Hollywood Sign. Buses arrive every 30 to 60 minutes at each stop, so you're never waiting long. The open-top double-decker design gives you clear views and photo opportunities as you cruise between neighbourhoods.
Two optional add-ons enhance the experience. The Celebrity Homes tour takes you through Beverly Hills, Bel Air, and Holmby Hills in a separate minibus, pointing out residences of A-list actors and musicians. Alternatively, choose the VIP walking tour of TCL Chinese Theatre for an inside look at Hollywood history. For more celebrity spotting, consider the dedicated Celebrity Homes bus tour which focuses entirely on star residences.

Good to Know
The complete loop takes 2 to 2.5 hours if you stay on without hopping off. Your ticket starts from first use, not purchase date. The Celebrity Homes portion departs from a designated bus stop and returns you to continue the main tour.
Buses don't have onboard toilets, so use facilities at major stops like The Grove, Hollywood and Highland, or Beverly Center. The last bus typically departs in late afternoon, with exact times varying by season.
This tour works well for all fitness levels since you only walk when you choose to hop off. Audio guides include fun facts about LA's history, architecture, and celebrity stories. The mobile app provides live bus tracking so you know exactly when the next bus arrives at your stop.
If you prefer a more focused Hollywood experience, the Hollywood sightseeing tour concentrates on the entertainment district's key attractions.
