Come on our Ultimate Haunted Ghost Tour presented by US Ghost Adventures! Whatever you call it: Los Angeles, Hollywood, Tinsel Town, or the City of Angels, this city has left an indelible influence on the history and popular culture of the United States and the world. People associate Hollywood with glamorous celebrities and, more than likely, a little excess. Los Angeles epitomizes the American dream of quick riches and recognition, yet beneath the bright weather and glittering celebrity culture lurks a seedier underbelly of regret, failed aspirations, and tragedy. Jilted lovers, famous apparitions, and naughty self-righteous spirits abound in this town, and hopefully we'll come across a few tonight.

We have done our own research so we've got the stories that no other tour can provide! Over the course of 2 hours, expect to cover roughly 1.5 miles of the famed Hollywood Boulevard, and more than a dozen paranormal and ghost sightings on stops at the Chinese Theater, the original downtown LA Pig N Whistle, Ripley’s Believe it or Not, and the Knickerbocker Hotel, among others, on the more than 10 stops.

See the highlights of Los Angeles on this 4-hour afternoon sightseeing tour with a local guide. What sets us apart is the small groups and great interaction between our experienced guides. We are the experts as this is our 32nd year providing tours of LA. From the historic architecture of Downtown Los Angeles, to the bustling energy of the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the TCL Chinese Theater, it doesn't get more "L.A." than this. Stop at the Griffith Park Observatory for great views of the Hollywood Sign, then ride past select celebrities' homes and peek into the shops on Rodeo Drive in upscale Beverly Hills where the rich and famous mingle. Round-trip transportation from most Downtown Los Angeles or Hollywood hotels is included.
