What you'll do

Pack all the glitz and glamour of the city of angels aboard the Hop-On Hop-Off All Around Los Angeles Classic 1-Day Tour.

Every Big Bus double-decker features recorded narration by a professional guide, so you’ll learn all about the city’s history, culture, and more while your guide directs your attention to famous landmarks along the way—making sure you don’t miss a thing. In addition, to English commentary on all buses, there are three pre-recorded languages available for the tour.

On the Hollywood Loop, you’ll pass famous landmarks like the TCL Chinese Theater, the world-famous Hollywood Sign, and Rodeo Drive. While Hollywood is best known for its glitz and glamour, of which you will see plenty, there are also tons of history lessons to be learned. Listen along to your guide and look out the double-decker to see prehistoric fossils at LaBrea Tar Pits and more.

For those laidback explorers, hop aboard the Beach Loop and get whisked away to the sunny coast. Enjoy views of sun-soaked beaches and the Santa Monica Pier. Hop off at any stop to explore the shops, top-rated restaurants, and the Santa Monica Pier amusement park.

No matter where you want to go, Big Bus can take you there.
