Activity itinerary

Hike the Hollywood Sign (Pass by)

We take you closer to the Hollywood Sign than any other guided tour in LA — hiking all the way to the front AND behind the sign for views most visitors never see.

Hollywood (Pass by)

Your guide shares the real stories behind Hollywood — the scandals, the stars, and the history that made this area the entertainment capital of the world.

Hollywood Sign (Pass by)

One of the most iconic landmarks on earth. You'll hike to the front for the classic shot, then continue behind the letters to the closest legally accessible viewpoint on any guided LA tour.

Hollywood Reservoir (Pass by)

Known as Lake Hollywood, this man-made reservoir has been supplying water to Los Angeles since 1924 — and appearing in countless films and TV shows. Stunning views from the trail.

Lake Hollywood Park (Pass by)

A favourite local secret and one of the best vantage points for the Hollywood Sign. Your guide knows exactly where to stand for the shot.

Hollywood Hills (Pass by)

The entire hike unfolds through the Hollywood Hills. Celebrity homes, sweeping city vistas, and the kind of views that make you understand why everyone wants to live here.

Griffith Park (Pass by)

One of the largest urban parks in America — and the wild history behind how it came to be is one of the best stories your guide tells on the way up.

Griffith Observatory (Pass by)

The world-famous Griffith Observatory comes into full view from the trail — an architectural landmark and iconic filming location framed against the LA skyline.

Burbank (Pass by)

From above the sign, spot the famous film studios of Burbank — Disney, Warner Bros., and more — spread across the valley below.

Forest Lawn Memorial Park - Hollywood Hills (Pass by)

Sweeping views of historic Hollywood unfold from the trail — your guide puts everything you're seeing into context.

Hollywood Walk of Fame (Pass by)

From the Hollywood Hills, your guide points out the boulevard below where Hollywood's legends are immortalised — a view most tourists never get.

Beverly Hills (Pass by)

The mansions of Beverly Hills spread out below as you climb — your guide knows whose house is whose.

Santa Monica (Pass by)

On a clear day, the Pacific Ocean and sunny Santa Monica come into full view. This is the panorama that makes the climb worth every step. Bring your camera.

San Fernando (Pass by)

Behind the Hollywood Sign, the San Fernando Valley opens up in every direction — nearly 500 square miles of LA you can see in a single glance. Nothing prepares you for this view.

Glendale (Pass by)

As you crest behind the sign, Glendale's skyline comes into view — your guide points out the Cartoon Network Building, the Glendale Galleria, and landmarks locals actually know.

Sunset Strip (Pass by)

Epic elevated views of the Sunset Strip from above — your guide adds the stories that make the view mean something.

Capitol Records Building (Pass by)

Spot the iconic Capitol Records Building from the trail — one of the most recognisable pieces of architecture in the world, and a lot more interesting with the backstory your guide provides.

Hollywood Bowl (Pass by)

A bird's-eye view of one of the most famous concert venues in history. Your guide has stories about this one too.
