About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- VNE0 contributionsWonderful way to learn about LAWe literally went from the ocean to the mountains and everywhere in between. Shawn, our guide, covered subjects ranging from the history of LA to its flora, fauna, celebrities, and fancy cars. The day held a variety of experiences, and we put on a lot of miles. Our two favorite stops were The Original Farmers Market (don’t miss the pickle sandwich!) and Griffith Observatory (even with unusual compromised air quality, the views were spectacular). Shawn was an excellent tour guide—both personal and professional. He even recommended a restaurant near our hotel for us to try. This is a great introduction to LA.Written February 2, 2025
- michaeljJ6224ZW0 contributionsMoney well investedIt is definitely worth spending your money because for these reasons 1) they know where to go to visit (you don't) 2) you avoid driving in traffic 3) they tell you and show you places of interest. 3) and with luck we will find a celebrity picking up your Amazon delivery packages and the driver knows everything about the route. Even the other tourists took photos of our car because it was very nice if it looked like a Hollywood tour bus. and Dave is the best driver we could have ever had. 100% recommended.Written July 16, 2024
- Fal L0 contributionsMy driver was knowledgeable and funny and friendly.Wow! The tour was very interesting and fun. The driver was so friendly and knowledgeable and I had a great great time. I loved it.Written November 26, 2023
- elaine f0 contributionsEnjoyable and informativeExcellent trip. Very interesting and informative. Driver/guide know his information. He was knowledgeable and humorousWritten October 29, 2023
- Phoebe C0 contributionsDave was awesome!We had a tour with Dave today and he was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable about the area, homes and an incredible host. We all felt included and had some laughs along the way. Highly recommend the tour. Thanks Dave!Written October 26, 2023
- Heinz I0 contributionsIncredibly good!We had a terrific tour of Hollywood and Beverly Hills with Steven. It was a unique tour of these neighbourhoods with a lot of experience and knowledge. Thank you very much Steven. Fantastic!Written September 26, 2023
- stephaniepS926ST0 contributionsDefinitely not Access HollywoodThe experience was horrible. We didn't get the tour we were expecting. I actually went to sleep as our driver was boring.Written September 13, 2023
- 692gerij0 contributionsMore like NO Access!!I wish I had a similar experience to these wonderful reviews but unfortunately, I cannot. Our tour started with not getting the vehicle we were promised nd went down hill from there. We had a private tour for our group and our guide was not flexible to our needs at all and very flippant when asked simple questions. Our tour included a 45 minute stop at the Griffith Observatory which we wanted reduced to 15 minutes since there is not anything to hold your interest for that long. He them sped by the Walk of Fame without stopping, took us to some celebrity homes, which was not part of the tour we paid for. When we finally made it to Santa Monica pier we were tired, hot and hungry and opted to go directly to Farmers Market to eat, which visibly irritated our driver. Our tour guide was slient most of our tour and never engaged with us or at the very least played music,we rode in slience unless we spoke amongst ourselves. This was by far the worst part of our LA trip.Written September 11, 2023
- 898AndyC0 contributionsGreat value and informativeThe tour was excellent - it was great to see so many places live that we had only seen on TV and in film. the guide was knowledgeable and informative and ensured that everyone from Germany, the UK and Chicago were all included. Some of the houses were fabulous and George Clooney was at home !Written May 13, 2023
- 758julioo0 contributionsFun tourThe celebrity houses and Hollywood sign was really cool. Beverly Hills was also really nice and classyWritten May 6, 2023
- Croften0 contributionsA great fun way of seeing HollywoodWe had Dave as our our tour guide he was really good fun! Entertaining and funny, he was very knowledgeable of all celebrities in Hollywood and who lives where… and showing us all the spots and looking out for celebrities, we had a great time on this tour highly recommendWritten April 14, 2023
- kristinhB2026QJ0 contributionsGood Tour.Went on the Hollywood Sign and Celebrity House Tour and enjoyed it. Our guide was friendly, but I did find them at times speaking very quickly so I did miss some information. Would recommend this tour due to its price and ability to see Hollywood and Beverly Hills area without the stress of driving.Written March 2, 2023
- 854siwarb0 contributionsGreat experienceExcellent! I would recommend this tour to see hollywood from a different angle. Closer look to the Hollywood signWritten February 20, 2023
- emiilydean0 contributionsMUST DOWe had Dave as our tour guide. He had some really great stories that incorporated new Hollywood and old and made us laugh along the way. It was the perfect mix of celebrity homes and historical sites around LA. It was a really fun, well organised morning out. 5 stars!Written February 11, 2023
- E2157ZYmonical0 contributionsGreat way to see the city!Dave took my family on a private tour and it was great! He was knowledgeable and funny and kept my family of all ages engaged. Also a great way to see the city in two hours!Written January 2, 2023

I cannot say enough good things about this tour and our guide, Dave. He kept us laughing and engaged. We saw lots of things that we wouldn't have found on our own, and much safer even if we could have because you don't have the driver trying to look as well. Dave spilled the tea on some celebs while letting us know about those who truly appreciate their fans. Disregard the handful of negative reviews. Our standards are strict and we thought this tour was amazing!

Our tour guide Dave was phenomenal! This was our first time in LA and on a Hollywood tour. Dave was extremely knowledgeable about the area and dropped gems on how to spot celebrities and who was nice if you ran into them. We stopped and was able to get out and take pictures of the downtown overview which was a great stretching break. I love that the van was open window so you could easily take pictures without a window glare. I would bring a jacket on the tour if you get cold. Seeing celebrity homes was a big highlight as well. I give 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ would definitely recommend to anyone for a cost effective great 2 hour tour.

Our Access Hollywood tour was more interesting and entertaining than we anticipated. To start, the 10 passenger open-air van was extremely comfortable and cool. Our driver and tour guide, Dave, was extremely knowledgeable about the area, the people, and the history of all that we saw. His own personal life experience added additional fun and interest throughout the whole experience. He also did a great job engaging each passenger aboard.
Great tour, Access Hollywood!!

This tour was exactly what we wanted! Our guide, Dave, was amazing! He drove us all over, orienting us to that part of LA, while pointing out areas of interest and sharing the history of what we were seeing.
He was able to show us many celebrity homes and even add tidbits like who had owned them previously, what some cost, and other interesting facts. He also was full of stories of encounters with celebrities—many of which had taken place as he drove the tour bus. For example, Ella Fitzgerald insisted everyone get out and have their picture taken with her!
The route hit all of the highlights that we had hoped to see, and Dave was an amazing source of information. He talked nonstop and kept us fascinated. We highly recommend this tour!
The one caveat I would mention is that the tour starts approximately a half mile further east than the ones offered around the TCL Chinese Theater. (Which is a madhouse.) It might take a little searching out to get this tour, but it’s worth it. There is parking right across the street and plenty of stars in the sidewalk to keep you occupied as you wait for the tour to start.

A great tour. We’d pre booked before travelling and found you could easily get a tour on the street on the day but prices were 15-20% more than booking online in advance so worth doing and also being able to secure the time you want and a seat on the bus as they are fairly small. Dave took us around and was excellent - a really good mix of info, sights and a good laugh and engagement with everyone on the tour. It does what it says on the tin - you see a good number of celeb home as your tour the hills and Beverly Hills, stop for a photo opp and he pulls in if you want a bit more time at a particular place. A really good way to spend a couple of hours exploring and a good thing to do first when you get to LA to get your barring.

We took my mom on this tour for her birthday because she's always wanted to go on it, and let me say, it was amazing! Dave was our tour guide and he was enough to make the tour memorable. He was very knowledgeable, having done this tour for 30+ years but his personality was the best! He was very engaging with everyone on the tour and because Mulholland Drive was closed due to clean up crews cleaning up fallen trees, he took us on a different route and shared some celebrity secrets. You can tell he loves what he does and thoroughly enjoys making his customers experiences one they'll never forget. I would give Dave 5 stars alone! 😊 Thank you, Dave, for making mom's birthday a fun one!!

We took the Access Hollywood tour with Dave on Sunday, 10th of April on our visit to LA from the UK.
I previously did a Hollywood tour with another company a couple of years ago. The vehicle was super beat up and gave me neck pain because the ride was so bumpy. The driver was also really cranky and even smoked weed on the the tour as he drove us. So although we learned some cool facts it didn't give a good impression at all. He also hassled us for money at the end which was really uncomfortable.
This time, it was my mother's first trip to America so I knew I wanted to take her on a Hollywood tour but something a little nicer. So I did a little online research, and Access Hollywood tour jumped out due to all the great comments. Thankfully they were all spot on!
We had the pleasure of having Dave as our tour guide. The manager who greeted us at the location was also lovely (Dave also said on the tour his manager was the best boss he has ever had due to being such a nice guy, which is something you don't hear every day!). The vehicle was lovely and they have a private bathroom you can use at the location prior to the tour starting which is a welcome touch.
Dave took us to celebrity homes such as Katy Perry, Jay Leno, Paris Hilton and Lionel Ritchie (we all had a good wave at Lionel's security camera!). Throughout, Dave was extremely entertaining and drove in a very safe manner which I also appreciated. It actually didn't feel like two hours had passed because it was so interesting. At one point, another car rolled down their windows to listen as we were waiting at the lights, and they noted they too were also really interested in Dave's commentary!
My mother came away having had a really fantastic afternoon, which is exactly what I wanted for her. So, I'd like to thank Dave and the Access Hollywood manager (sorry, I didn't catch your name!) for a really wonderful experience.
My top tips would be to avoid the sleezy tours on Hollywood Boulevard that try to drag you off the street hassling you. Head to Access Hollywood instead.
Also, remember to bring some cash to tip Dave at the end! Seen as we all use cards these days it's easy to forget.

Great tour with our thoroughly engaging guide, David. He was knowledgable and informative about the homes we stopped at and the interesting areas we drove through. David told many funny stories and gave the inside gossip on which celebs are great to meet, and which are less so!

My wife and I were the only ones riding the bus this particular day so it was like we booked a private tour. Our guide Manuele was engaging ,knowledgeable, and very good describing what we were about to see and had good stories to tell. Even though you cannot really get a great. look at many of the celebrity homes because of gates, shrubs etc.the tour is worth te price.

We did this tour august of 2023. Steve was our tour guide and he was awesome. Some of the roads were inaccessible due to the debris from the “hurricane” but Steve was able to make up for it! We learned so many cool things about LA. Highly recommend! The bust was open and we had a beautiful breeze the entire ride. I recommend going early to avoid traffic areas along the route
