Start Your Adventure in Santa Monica

Begin your journey at the Shore Hotel in Santa Monica, where you’ll board a comfortable mini-coach. Enjoy relaxing transport as your guide sets the scene, sharing interesting stories, local secrets and playful anecdotes about Los Angeles’ diverse neighborhoods.

Explore the Popular Hollywood Walk of Fame

Your first stop places you right on Hollywood Boulevard. Stroll along the widely recognized Walk of Fame, lined with over 2,700 brass stars celebrating long-running actors, musicians and performers. Snap photos of historic landmarks and the famed TCL Chinese Theatre. You’ll have free time to explore at your own pace, with your guide on hand for recommendations.

Shop and Dine at The Farmers Market & The Grove

Next, visit the lively Farmers Market and adjacent Grove shopping complex. Enjoy time to browse unique food stalls, stylish boutiques or simply relax on a patio for a bite to eat - lunch is at your leisure and own expense. This is a fantastic spot to sample LA’s dynamic culinary scene or pick up a unique souvenir.

Marvel at Expansive Views from Griffith Observatory

The final stop brings you to Griffith Observatory, one of LA’s top free attractions. Take in impressive city views and, on clear days, a close look at the popular Hollywood Sign. Wander the grounds or step inside the public areas to learn about astronomy and local science history (subject to operating hours and entrance policies).

Comfort and Convenience Throughout

Return sightseeing transport makes this the easiest way to see multiple LA hotspots. After your Griffith Park stop, you’ll be brought back to Santa Monica relaxed and ready to continue your own adventures.
