Luxurious Hotel Bel Air in Los Angeles
September 10, 2016
The luxurious Hotel Bel Air in Los Angeles is so much a part of the glamor and mystery of Hollywood folklore, probably because of its lush and private grounds. As one of the Glitterati guides, we sometimes are requested as walk on guides for international guests who already have a driver or car. I spent two days with an amazing family visiting from Europe, who had a wish list of places they wanted to see, including the Getty Center, Venice Beach, and El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de Los Angeles, del Rio Porciuncula, which translates to The Town of Our Lady the Queen of Los Angeles, the river Porciuncula. Of course I shared many more amazing destinations, sights
Fall and Winter Tours of Los Angeles and Beverly Hills
August 26, 2016
Wow! What a summer for Los Angeles and Beverly Hills with Glitterati Tours. We were nearly booked solid from mid-June through mid-August. Many days, we turned down about a dozen tours from referrals, international travel agents, and our concierge family at many of the local 5-star hotels throughout Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Bel Air and Santa Monica. August has been incredibly unpredictable. Thus far, in like a lion and out like a lamb. As we write this, the end of August has dropped off we pre-bookings.

This summer,
Summer Weather in Los Angeles
June 17, 2016
It’s about to get hot. In the next few days, weather in Los Angeles will heat up to over 100 degrees. That’s 38 degrees celsius for many of our international travelers. While it’s going to be warm here, our neighboring Palm Springs (about 2 hours east) will hit a staggering 120 degrees.

This current forecast is somewhat rare for June, but can be the norm in July, August and September. What to do on a hot weather day in Los Angeles? If your hotel or
