What Are The Most Popular Tours in Hollywood?

What are the most popular tours in Hollywood?  It really depends on what you’re looking to get out of the city.  Remember, L.A. is a gigantic spread out city and popular destinations can be separated by quite a distance.  Just in the radius around Hollywood, you’ve got Downtown L.A. to the east about ½ hour away, and Santa Monica to the west about 40 minutes away.  In between, you’ve got popular communities or cities like West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Century City and Westwood.  Once down at the beach in Santa Monica, you can travel south to Venice Beach, or north up the coast to Malibu. Before deciding on where you want to stay, truly pull up a map and look

Now Offering Private Tours of Hollywood and Beverly Hills

Like most businesses temporarily shuttered due to Covid-19, Glitterati Tours is excited to resume operations.  For us, the changes won’t be that dramatic, for we’ve always detailed each and every vehicle for our private sightseeing excursions of Hollywood, Los Angeles and Beverly Hills. However, we will follow additional guidelines in making sure our SUV’s are completely sanitized to protect you and your family or friends. This will include everything from the seats, door handles, and arm rests…to controls and lap belts.  Furthermore, your guide will be required to wear a mask at all times. We will provide each guest with a personal cellophane bag containing a mask, a mini hand sanitizer, snacks and water. Remember, this is not a bus

Tours of Hollywood and Beverly Hills

Gosh.  We really hoped to have more to say at this point, but Al Pacino said it best in The Godfather with, “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.” We keep (wishfully) thinking that we will be past COVID-19 by a specific date, but the calendar keeps rolling by with more cases and more closures. Just today, California reached a milestone in cases.  Some may say we’re shooting ourselves (and local businesses) in the foot, by repeating information.  Better that than having our beloved tourism market suffer further by promoting anything other than the numbers presented by local and state authorities.  There are no conspiracy theories here.  Instead, tens of thousands of amazing hard-working individuals

The Safest Tours in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills

Here we go again. All dressed up and nowhere to go!?  That’s our current position as a small business here in Los Angeles.  We’ve pushed our start date back a half dozen times due to the uncertainty of Covid-19…April 1st, May 1st, June 1st, July 1st, July 12th, to the absolute unknown date down the line. Just today, the California governor re-ordered the closure of many businesses.  Some of these had lifted restrictions for a short period of time.  The following will be closed in 30 counties around California, which covers about 80% of the population: -Bars, Movie Theaters, Gyms, Barbershops, Nail Salons, Zoos, Museums, Cardrooms, Family Entertainment Centers, Malls, and Indoor Dining at Restaurants (restaurants with outdoor patios will

An Update on Los Angeles Tourism

Somewhat of a misleading headline, because there isn’t too much by way of an official “getting back to business” date.  However, do know that the cities of Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica and West Hollywood are ready to go the minute they get the okay from state/federal health departments and local government. We’ve been in constant contact with the best in the hospitality industry.  This includes other tour operators, restaurants, hotel concierges (members of the prestigious Le Clef D’or), sports franchises, representatives from theme parks and museums, and others.  Bottomline, none of us are going anywhere, and we’re doubling down on providing the best in customer service and experiences.  Yes, some things will certainly be different when venues re-open.

A Love Letter to Los Angeles and Beverly Hills

A Love Letter to Los Angeles and Beverly Hills Of course, this is actually sending love to the entire world right now during these unprecedented times.  It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and sadly, we all won the lottery. Tourism in Los Angeles has taken a hit several times in recent years, whether it’s the nearby fires, flight bans, or an earthquake or two.  But there’s never been anything quite like CoVID-19.  Hospitality industries have taken the early brunt of this, whether you work with airlines, travel agencies, tourism, nightclubs, hotels, music venues, restaurants, or bars.  But truly, it has trickled down to each and every one of us. Hats off to those still working in deliveries, the medical field (nurses should

Enjoy a Staycation in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills

As the current COVID-19 fears grip the world, and more travel restrictions are popping up daily, there’s plenty of options for Californians to minimize their exposure to the coronavirus. We are getting into our very busy Spring Break period, and we’ve already heard from some of our guests that are concerned about canceled travel arrangements.  This goes for those arriving by cruise ship, planes and trains.  Most aren’t so worried about the virus itself, but rather getting quarantined or stranded. That being said, many of our most recent bookings are from those in our own backyard that originally had more ambitious travel plans, but have decided to pack the family into a car, travel up or down the coast, and

Is It Safe to Visit Los Angeles During the Coronavirus Pandemic?

Is L.A. safe from the coronavirus?  No place on earth is currently safe from Covid-19, but as we write this, there’s approximately 15 cases in the entire state of California.  A recent case involves an individual in Northern California, approximately 7 hours north of Los Angeles and Hollywood. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, with cooperation with The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently released the following: The risk from the novel coronavirus 2019 to spread in Los Angeles County residents is deemed to be low at this time. We also grabbed some great general advice and perspectives from Colleen S. Kraft, MD, MSc regarding the virus: We touch our face with our hands, including our
