Itinerary
Santa Monica Pier
This small-group day tour (maximum 14 guests) starts with an incredibly scenic drive from Las Vegas through the beautiful high deserts, dry lakes, mountain ranges, the southern tip of Death Valley, as well as amazing Mohave Yucca and Joshua Tree forests on your way to Los Angeles and the legendary Hollywood, California.
When you hear the words “Southern California” you can’t help but think of the beaches of Santa Monica. You can walk barefoot in the sand where the cast of Baywatch worked, where Hollywood directors filmed some of the most iconic movies were made! This is the real California - Sun, Sand and Movie Stars - this is what California is all about. That's what makes this a perfect stop for your picnic lunch! Take a stroll on the beach in the warm California sun where you can put your toes in the beautiful blue Pacific Ocean.
1 hourAdmission IncludedRodeo Drive
Next up, you will drive down the famous Rodeo Drive shopping area - home to all the luxury designer stores. See Santa Monica Blvd and drive along the equally famous Sunset Strip, which has been the inspiration for many songs and movies. The tour continues past Beverly Hills where many of your favorite stars live.
Hollywood Walk of Fame
Then it's on to Hollywood! Stroll along Hollywood Boulevard’s Walk of Fame with the iconic stars in the pavement; find your favorite celebrity and take a picture, see the ornate Chinese and Dolby Theaters (home of the Oscars), the hand prints of the stars in concrete and the famous Roosevelt Hotel (where stars are commonly spotted).
1 hourAdmission IncludedHollywood Sign
Beautiful views of the Hollywood Sign from the patio of the iconic Kodak Theater.
Baker
Relax on the drive back to the glittering lights of Las Vegas, driving through Barstow and Baker along the way.
