Glitterati Tours just finished up a record breaking Spring Break for Beverly Hills tours and private excursions around Los Angeles. As a smaller tour company with a #1 rating on TripAdvisor for Activities and Tours, we were swamped with requests. There was many days in March that we weren’t able to accommodate the large number of last minute requests for private Beverly Hills tours. A reminder that we work not only with guest referrals, but also VIP agents, travel agents, and of course, our LACA (Los Angeles Concierge Association). Quite a few bookings come from these 5-star hotels throughout Hollywood, West Hollywood and Beverly Hills, as well as several beach properties down in Santa Monica. While this post is somewhat
