By Leslie Ball


Visitors to Los Angeles often want to see more about the lifestyles of stars they have come to know so well through movies or TV. Through the eyes of trained guides on Hollywood homes tours of celebrities they can experience something of where they live, work and play. There are many different options available and bookings can be made at online websites.

The experienced drivers often have lots of stories to tell that can give unique insights into the lives of people living behind the huge gates of the mansions. At the other extreme are luxury buses, accommodating large groups of people and lead by experienced tour guides. There are even party buses that can be hired. Hotel pickups are offered by some companies and concierges can help to arrange this.
