Explore Hollywood, downtown Los Angeles, and Santa Monica on foot and by Metro, with a local guide revealing hidden corners along the way.

About this tour

See three distinct sides of Los Angeles in one day, from Hollywood landmarks to downtown streets and the coastal atmosphere of Santa Monica. This 8-hour Los Angeles walking and Metro tour trades bus windows and prerecorded commentary for a closer look at the city on foot, with a local guide leading the way.

Begin near the Pantages Theatre, opposite Hollywood and Vine Metro Station, then explore Hollywood, downtown, and Santa Monica while learning to navigate the Los Angeles Metro. Metro travel is included, and the route reveals tucked-away corners alongside seven venues that have hosted the Academy Awards. The tour starts at 10 a.m. daily, and you’ll have time to choose from a range of food options during the day; lunch and snacks are not included.

With a guide and public transit connecting the neighborhoods, Los Angeles feels less like a sprawling map and more like a city you can experience firsthand. Join this Los Angeles walking and Metro tour to spend a day seeing the city from an Angeleno’s perspective.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.67 from 12 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 6.9.
