It’s summer and that means more family vacations, and a need to keep the kids happy and engaged. Kid friendly Los Angeles things to do are too numerous to mention here. But we’ll do our best to throw out a handful of great ideas: Kids typically don’t like shopping, but with a spot like The Grove and The Original Farmers Market, you can disguise your shopping with great visuals and entertainment. Just walking through the Farmers Market alone will have your child’s full attention, for there are candy shops, fudge makers, ice cream shops, and donuts. Of course, you’ll have to eat first, so there’s over 100 different kiosks offering up everything you can imagine. At The Grove, look for

Heritage Square Museum Halloween
October 13, 2018
Los Angeles may be the hub of the entertainment world and one of the newest cities in America, but we still have plenty of history to share! Just north of Dodger Stadium and Downtown Los Angeles sits the Heritage Square Museum — a living history museum highlighting life in Southern California in its first 100 years as a state. The property has plenty to see with actual structures from the Victorian era that have been saved, preserved, and moved to the location. The structures offer up a picturesque 1800’s town just 2 miles away from the skyscrapers of Downtown Los Angeles. Living museum, you ask? Yes! The museum staff are working, acting, and living as if they were back at
Los Angeles Private Tours in Summer
May 2, 2018
Los Angeles Private Tours in Summer and Booking the Must-Visits in the City ___________________ We are between two of the busiest travel seasons here in Los Angeles. Spring Break, and the summer months. We often see a slight slow down during late April and May, as we plan for a massive amount of visitors over June, July and August. The Spring Break period this year never seemed to end. Normally, we see everyone at once, but this year it was nicely staggered, with guests coming in from New York and New Jersey, Boston, the southern states, and the West Coast all at different times — along with a huge amount of families from Canada, Australia, Germany, South America, South Africa,

L.A. Tours Departing from Anaheim and Long Beach
April 30, 2015
*For a brief period Glitterati Tours offered pickups and drop offs in areas like Anaheim and Long Beach. We suspended Anaheim and Long Beach service as of September 1st, 2015. See Below. From our Glitterati Tours FAQ page: *Glitterati Tours restricts their pick up areas to Beverly Hills, Hollywood/West Hollywood, and Downtown L.A..
