Our tour guide Dave was awesome - engaging, informative and also inquisitive as we were all an active part of the tour. What more to add? Yes, book the last tour of the day as the tour guide may not feel as stressed to get back to the Hollywood Blvd location on time and you may see some of the local celebrities, either driving their vehicles or briefly walking outside. Great company and ditto experience.

This is a working paparazzi guide that does this day in and day out and you get a peek at how they work and where the celebrities hang out, eat, pastry and generally live their lives. Their jobs are hard! It's a lot of detective work and reading little cues and it was super interesting. Our first day we saw Tracee Ellis Ross which was really cool but I can't emphasize how interesting and fun this was even if you didn't find someone. This was exciting and unforgettable!!

In a nutshell it was incredible and was one of the most fun things we did on our vacation. Although my friends were initially skeptical we actually saw a few celebrities including Keanu Reeves! Our tour guide was amazing and we really felt like we were "in the know" of something that the public usually doesn't see. Highly recommend.

(Corrected "top" versus "back", in the third paragraph)…read more The tour is given in a 12-passenger bus that is open air. You'll drive past many historic structures, and past the homes of many stars (though you'll be going too fast to get a good look or photo). And you'll go up in the hills along Mulholland Drive. About halfway through the tour, at the Beverly Hills sign, you get out for a break and use the restroom. Unfortunately, you never get a good view of the Hollywood sign. Our driver was very knowledgeable and entertaining, and gave anecdotes about every site we passed. There a screen-like sheet covering the top of the van for shade, but you should use sunscreen as you will be in the sun for two hours.

They have two hours, five hours, and full day rides open to general public bookings, and you can book your own private tour buses with customized routes.

I toured Greystone as part of the Sword Experience led by Adrian Paul, and let me tell you--learning blade work on the grounds of one of the most infamous estates in Beverly Hills hits differently. There's something poetic about practicing controlled violence on land once shaped by very uncontrolled wealth. A little history, because this place doesn't whisper--it broods. Greystone was built in 1928 for the Doheny family, oil dynasty royalty. Think: early 20th-century American excess, but make it Tudor Revival and drop it on a manicured hill above Sunset. The house is enormous. 55 rooms. Limestone imported from Indiana. Details that scream, "We had oil money and zero chill." And then, of course, the tragedy. Ned Doheny Jr. was found dead inside the mansion only months after moving in. Official story: murder-suicide involving his secretary. Unofficial story: Los Angeles in the 1920s was a cocktail of scandal, politics, oil contracts, and secrets thick enough to butter toast with. The house was barely broken in before it became legend. So yes--training with swords on those grounds feels cinematic. Because it is. Adrian Paul doesn't just walk you around; he contextualizes movement, presence, and discipline in a space already heavy with narrative. You're not just touring a mansion. You're standing in a monument to ambition, downfall, and architectural flexing. Greystone has since been used in everything from classic films to modern blockbusters. If it looks familiar, it's because Hollywood has been borrowing its drama for decades. It's a location scout's fever dream. The gardens are immaculate. The interiors are grand without being tacky. It's the kind of place where you instinctively lower your voice--even if you don't believe in ghosts, you respect the acoustics. Los Angeles loves shiny new money. Greystone is old money with a body count. And yet, it's beautiful. Stunning, actually. The kind of estate that makes you question your life choices while also appreciating the craftsmanship of a bygone era when wealth was expressed in stone and timber instead of Instagram posts. Walking those grounds with a sword in hand, guided by someone who understands myth and movement, feels like stepping into layered history--cinema, tragedy, power, and discipline colliding under California sun.

I knew I had to book the bus at least 6 months in advance to make sure I got a great price and that the bus was available. The bus tour was one of our family activities for my 3-day family reunion in late July, consisting of 200 people. About 60 went on the bus tour. My family enjoyed the tour and had phrases of how great Steven and his team were. To top the great service we got, Steven even drove back to hotel that my family was staying in to bring back an iPad which one of my aunts left behind. Now that is beyond customer service! Steven, I thank you for taking great care of my family! I will definitely book again.
