About this tour
See Los Angeles from the coast to the Hollywood Hills on a guided sightseeing tour packed with landmark views and lively local commentary. Los Angeles sightseeing takes you to Santa Monica Pier, Venice Beach, Beverly Hills, and the city’s celebrated movie landmarks, with round-trip transportation to help you avoid parking and traffic hassles.
Spend time at four stops, each lasting about 35–45 minutes, plus a one-hour lunch break. Walk along Santa Monica Pier, explore Venice Beach’s canals and skate park, and visit Rodeo Drive and the Beverly Hills sign. At Griffith Park Observatory, enjoy a photo opportunity with the Hollywood Sign when the site is open. Continue to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Grauman’s Theatre, the Sunset Strip, and other well-known sights. The stop order may vary, and the Observatory visit may be replaced by Mulholland Drive or the Hollywood Bowl if the park is closed for filming.
With hotel pickup options across Los Angeles and the Anaheim Resort Area, Los Angeles sightseeing makes it easy to cover a lot of ground in one day. Choose a departure and get ready to explore the city’s coast, neighborhoods, and screen-famous streets.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.84 from 826 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 7.5. Top 26% in Los Angeles means it ranks in the top 26% of tours in Los Angeles by this score.
