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
Who Are The Best Tour Guides for Hollywood Experiences
December 5, 2018
Nowadays, with gizmos, gadgets, and apps, everyone is a local “professional” tour guide. Not only in Los Angeles, but the world-over. Tours, or experiences, from 3rd, 4th or 5th party bookers looking to cash in, can be broken down into small excursions promising the unknowing visitor the best of the city. Want to do a small selfie tour? Want to do a cupcake tour? Want to do a beer crawl? Want to be introduced to unique boutique stores? Want an architectural tour on a skateboard? Want to see where the celebrities dine with a paparazzi? ….the list is endless. Yes, our price point may be a little more expensive. Consider this though. You may combine a hodgepodge of different experiences and
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.. We can also pick up at locations in Venice Beach and Santa Monica. We never travel outside of these areas due to the unpredictability of freeway traffic. Rather than pay hourly tour rates, it’s much more economical for a visitor to take alternative transportation into the heart of Hollywood to start their tour. Plus, there’s very few talking points along the freeway system between Los Angeles and

Hotel Pickups for Los Angeles and Beverly Hills Tours
March 4, 2015
The advantage of a private tour is the flexibility for the visitor. Glitterati Tours can pick up guests directly at their hotel in the Beverly Hills, LAX, Hollywood, West Hollywood, Santa Monica, Venice Beach, or Downtown L.A. areas. We can also pick you up after your local Hollywood or Beverly Hills experience, whether it’s Universal Studios, Warner Bros., a restaurant, or museum. We often get requests for pickups in Long Beach, Anaheim, Newport Beach and Pasadena, and unfortunately, these areas are just too far out (and with traffic, highly unpredictable) for us to accommodate transportation. We remind potential guests that it’s far more economical to get alternative transportation into the heart of the city. We’ve laid out more on this
Private Tour Company in Los Angeles Booking Now for March
February 11, 2015
While tourism is on an upswing overall in Los Angeles, it can still be feast or famine during certain times of the year for hotels, a private tour company, amusement parks and museums. Typically February can be a bit quieter, for it’s award season, and most of the people in town are industry related preparing for their big night(s). We can also see a bit of a lull in June before the summer crush of tourists, and in November before the holidays. We are coming up on a very busy season. With daylight savings in early March and a staggered spring break, L.A. should be full of visitors throughout March and April. In addition, we’ll see many folks from
