Los Angeles is a major American tourist destination, so it is no surprise that there exists such a wide variety of tour options in this unique metropolitan area. The glamour and history of Hollywood adds to this potpourri of tourist options, especially when you include the
array of studio tours available.
If history and architecture are your main interests then the
Los Angeles Conservancy will probably have a walking tour for you! Other historical tours listed here include ones with a more morbid twist, such as
Dearly Departed Tours and
Haunted Hollywood Tours.
Tours that are more oriented to the present-day life in Los Angeles include the
Mural Conservancy of Los Angeles and the
Melting Pot Food Tour.
Various modes of transportation can be found on this list as well. For the high-rollers, there are a number of companies that provide helicopter tours of the city, including
Helitac Aviation. An easy way to check out the famous Rodeo Drive and other sites in Beverly Hills is via the
Beverly Hills Trolley Tour. Or if jogging and running is your preferred mode of transportation, there is always the aptly named
Off'N Running Tours to get your blood flowing.
Again, there are so many tours are available to the intrepid traveler, ranging from bus tours provided by established older companies like
Starline to off-beat tours like the (free) twice monthly tour of the
Los Angeles Times headquarters. . .
