Fantastic Hollywood Walking Tour! - We arrived a few minutes early for our 10 am tour as the company requested and our guide Sam arrived around the same time. And we all realized that this was going to be a small tour - me, my wife and Sam! He was highly knowledgeable of the history of Hollywood and Hollywood Blvd and gave us wonderful details and trivia about the neighborhood, the various buildings and architecture, local nightlife, food, the walk of fame, and more. We learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed our two hours with him! Thanks again for a great way to learn about the history of Hollywood!

Fun and engaging tour! - I have to say, we didn’t exactly luck out on a warm sunny day but I still loved the tour and would even do it again! Chris was a wealth of information and would highly recommend his tour to anyone. He was able to give us info that was fun to go back and share with others, and knowing how and what built the alluring Hollywood was engrossing.
