    DAY1 Bay Area - Los Angeles (381 miles)

    Our tour begins out of the Bay Area, driving seven hours to sunny Los Angeles on the southern coast of California. In the famous entertainment city, we’ll stop by the Hollywood landmarks, take a walk along Hollywood Boulevard, and visit the Chinese Theater and the Kodak Theater complex, now the permanent home for the Oscars. After dinner, we’ll transfer to our hotel for our first night’s stay in the city.
    Standard Hotel: Holiday Inn Select - La Mirada

    DAY2 Los Angeles City Tour (Optional)

    Take an optional LA City tour (Adults $58; Children $48) or choose to have a free day on your own

    At 9:00 am, we’ll depart from the hotel and take a brief excursion to the city of Santa Monica where we’ll stroll down the Santa Monica Pier for a glimpse at the expanse of the Pacific Ocean. This famous beach town is known for its beautiful setting, making it an ideal shooting location for countless Hollywood films. We‘ll then head to Beverly Hills, home to the stars, via Rodeo Drive. Renowned for celebrity sightings and frequented by the ultra-rich, this shopping area in Beverly Hills is one of the most glamorous destinations in the world. For lunch, we’ll visit the Original Los Angeles Farmers Market, founded in 1934, where you’ll find international cuisine utilizing delicious California grown produce. After lunch, we’ll trek up the hills above Los Angeles for a spectacular view of the city and the iconic Hollywood sign, and then back down to Olvera Street, a colorful Mexican marketplace and a thriving cultural center known to host Mexican celebrations, festivals of music, dancing, and various holiday celebrations. Before returning to the hotel, we will stop in downtown L.A. at the Staples Center, home to the world champion Los Angeles Lakers basketball team. We will then return to the hotel; arriving by 6:00PM.

The studio-themed park has attractions that include behind-the-scenes tours of movie sets, as well as rides based on your favorite films, such as the Shrek 4D Simulator Ride, or the heart-pounding Jurassic Park River Adventure.
