Hollywood and Vine

Hollywood, Vine, Los Angeles, California

Your journey begins at the legendary crossroads of Hollywood & Vine, once known as the “Times Square of the West.” In Hollywood’s golden age, this was the beating heart of radio and film — studios, movie theaters, and hotels packed with celebrities. Today, you’ll stand right where legends like Marilyn Monroe, Walt Disney, and Charlie Chaplin are immortalized with stars at your feet. Look around and you’ll still feel the buzz of history, with neon lights, vintage architecture, and the nearby Capitol Records Building peeking into view. It’s the perfect place to set the stage for your star-studded adventure.

Capitol Records Building

1750 Vine St, Hollywood, Los Angeles, 90028-5209, California

Next, take in the view of one of Hollywood’s most unique landmarks, the Capitol Records Building. Shaped like a towering stack of vinyl records, it’s a shrine to music history. Since 1956, legends like The Beatles, Nat King Cole, and Frank Sinatra have recorded their hits inside this circular masterpiece. At night, a beacon on top flashes the word “Hollywood” in Morse code — a secret message shining over the city of dreams. This isn’t just a building; it’s the soundtrack to Los Angeles, and standing before it connects you directly to the golden age of music.

Hollywood Walk of Fame

Hollywood Blvd at Vine St, , Los Angeles, 90028, California

Now it’s time to stroll along the world-famous Hollywood Walk of Fame, a sidewalk glittering with more than 2,700 brass stars. Each one tells a story — from movie icons like Audrey Hepburn and Tom Hanks, to music legends like Michael Jackson, to even fictional characters like Mickey Mouse. Every few steps brings another surprise and another story. As you walk, you’ll hear the fun history of how stars are chosen, quirky facts about the celebrities who got them, and maybe even spot a few newly polished stars decorated with flowers and fan tributes. It’s a living, breathing museum of pop culture, and you’re walking right through it.

TCL Chinese Theatres

6925 Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles, 90028-6103, California

Your next stop is the dazzling TCL Chinese Theatre, Hollywood’s crown jewel since 1927. This is where the red carpet rolls out for major movie premieres, and where fans have gathered for generations to glimpse their favorite stars. But the real magic lies in the courtyard: concrete blocks filled with the handprints, footprints, and signatures of Hollywood royalty. Place your hands where Marilyn Monroe, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Jackie Chan left theirs, and feel the history under your fingertips. This spot is pure Hollywood glamour — a place where everyday visitors can stand shoulder to shoulder with legends.

Dolby Theatre

6801 Hollywood Blvd, , Los Angeles, 90028-6136, California

Just steps away is the elegant Dolby Theatre, home to the Academy Awards since 2002. This is where Hollywood’s biggest stars gather every year to celebrate the movies that move the world. As you stand at its entrance, picture the flashing cameras, glittering gowns, and golden statues that make Oscar night so unforgettable. We’ll share insider stories of famous Oscar moments and let you imagine your own red-carpet debut. For a few minutes, this is your stage — a chance to feel like the star of your own Hollywood story.

10 minutes

Hollywood & Highland

6801 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, 90028-6136, California

Your tour ends with one of the most iconic views in the world: the Hollywood Sign. Perched high on the hills since 1923, this landmark started as an advertisement for real estate and grew into the ultimate symbol of fame, film, and fortune. From the overlook at the Hollywood & Highland Center, you’ll capture the perfect photo to prove you’ve made it to Tinseltown. As the tour wraps up, you’ll leave with stories, photos, and memories of Hollywood’s past and present — and maybe just a little extra sparkle in your step.
