IATA ACCREDITEDThe name 'Hollywoodland' is where Hollywood's legend begins. In 1923, a real estate developer erected the 'HOLLYWOODLAND' sign on Mount Lee to advertise a new housing development in the hills. That sign — later shortened to 'HOLLYWOOD' — became the most iconic landmark in entertainment history. Our Hollywoodland tours tell this incredible story.
Our Hollywoodland tours take you through the original Hollywoodland neighborhood, a charming area of 1920s-era homes built during the golden age of Hollywood. See the original stone gates, the quaint streets, and the stunning hillside views that attracted LA's early elite to this remarkable community.
The tour includes multiple Hollywood Sign viewpoints, including the closest public vantage points available by vehicle. Our guides share the complete history: from the sign's construction, through its decay and near-demolition in the 1970s, to its celebrity-funded restoration when stars like Hugh Hefner and Alice Cooper each 'adopted' a letter.
Hollywoodland tours are perfect for history enthusiasts, architecture lovers, and anyone fascinated by how a simple real estate advertisement became a symbol recognized by billions of people worldwide. It's one of the most unique Hollywood tour experiences available.
