About this tour

Follow Hollywood’s haunted past through streets lined with theaters, landmarks, and eerie stories. This self-guided Hollywood Ghost Tour covers approximately 1.5 miles and takes about 1–2 hours, with 15 story stops along the way.

Begin at Yamashiro Hollywood, then pass the Roosevelt Hotel, TCL Chinese Theatre, Egyptian Theatre, Hollywood Pacific Theatre, and Hollywood Knickerbocker before finishing outside the Pantages Theatre. GPS-triggered audio plays as you reach each location, while a live map helps you follow the route. Download the tour over Wi-Fi for offline access, start when it suits you, and pause whenever you like. Optional location-based trivia adds another layer to the walk.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 3.75 from 4 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Los Angeles
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.8.
