LA: Hollywood, DTLA & Santa Monica Full Day Walking & Metro Tour
L.A. is so big – how are you going to see the city in one day? Easy! Join our LA in a Day tour and see 3 completely different neighborhoods of the city - Hollywood, downtown and Santa Monica. There’s no breezing through on buses with a pre-recorded audio commentary playing (which is always out of sync), on this tour we show you the hidden nooks and crannies of the city that other tour companies don’t (including 7 different venues that have held the Academy Awards Ceremony) and give you a feel for the real Los Angeles.
We're pioneers of the all day metro and walking tour of Los Angeles. Why did we create it? Because we want you to feel like you're an Angeleno for the day and to fall in love with the city like we did.
- Tour starts 10 am daily
- Travel on Los Angeles Metro included in ticket price
- There’s a big range of food options and all types of diet can be accommodated (vegan, gluten-free etc)
