A Glamorous Prelude to the Oscars

As the world turns its gaze to the glitz and glamour of the Oscars, West Hollywood becomes a playground for those seeking a taste of the high life. This pre-Oscar weekend, the city is abuzz with excitement, offering a plethora of activities that promise to dazzle and delight. With partly cloudy skies and a gentle breeze, the weather sets the perfect stage for exploration.

Start your weekend with a Classic Convertible Tour through the iconic streets of Los Angeles. Available from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on March 1st, this tour offers a unique opportunity to cruise in a classic 1970s convertible, guided by a charismatic local expert. As you glide past the homes of the rich and famous in Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, you’ll feel like a star yourself. The tour includes stops at the Hollywood Sign, the Dolby Theatre, and the Hollywood Walk of Fame, where you can search for your favorite stars. One recent review from January 2025 captures the essence of this experience:

LA the Right Way - We didn’t have a lot of time in LA and this tour gave us a fantastic view of the essential sites, so that we feel like we know the place - and not just from the movies. Cliff was extremely knowledgeable and provided lots of interesting small details that colored in the tour. And, of course, a 1973 Cadillac convertible is the only way to tour LA - we felt like a couple of movie stars and people kept wanting to take our picture, although I suspect it was really the car!
