Can we customize a private tour itinerary?

Yes. Tell us what your group wants to see and we build the day around it, then advise honestly on what fits in the time available.

Do private tours go to the Hollywood Sign?

Yes. Our small vehicles park close to a trailhead and guests walk five to fifteen minutes to a viewpoint with a clear view of the sign.

How far in advance should I book a private tour of Los Angeles?

Earlier is better, particularly in summer and around holidays. Contact Guideline Tours with your dates to check availability.

The Places Big Buses Never Reach

On a recent private tour, a family with two teenage daughters asked to see the Paul Smith pink wall on Melrose Avenue. It is one of the most photographed spots in Los Angeles, and it is not on any of our regular tours. Because we run private groups in small vehicles, we simply added it to the day.

The pink wall isn't on our scheduled tours. On a private tour, it is.
It's one of the most photographed walls in Los Angeles.

A Real Hike to the Hollywood Sign

The same family wanted to get close to the Hollywood Sign. Our vehicles drive right up near the trailhead, so instead of viewing it from a distant parking lot, they walked a short five to fifteen minute trail to a proper viewpoint. Large bus tours cannot do this. It is one of the advantages of traveling in a small group with a guide who hikes these trails regularly.

How a Private Tour Works

It is simple. You tell us who is coming and what you are hoping to see, whether that is the Hollywood Sign, Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, celebrity homes, or a specific photo spot your kids have their hearts set on. We build the itinerary around that. Guideline Tours has run private groups in Los Angeles since 1988, and our small vehicles reach roughly fifteen to twenty select celebrity homes that large buses cannot access.
