Hi, we went on THIS tour last month which we booked through Expedia. Wont let me do a link to the tours on Expedia , you'll have to put the dates in yourself.

We only had one whole day in LA so wanted a city tour and also a movie star's homes tour , so that was great for us.

You can also book a tour at their kiosk in front of the Chinese Theatre.

Hi

if you fancy looking for some real fun, try https://www.beinamovie.com

we are doing a family holiday to California this summer so i have been surfing for stuff to do, and found the Be In A Movie site. You basically get the opportunity to be an extra in a crowd scene or similar for a movie. so far the site is only showing upcoming filming slots up to this month, bit it's worth keeping an eye on. Just before Christmas they wanted extras for Wild Hogs, the film starring amongst others John Travolta and Ray Liotta. I mean, John Travolta and Ray Liotta!! i would have had all my christmases at once that day....

The Warner Bros tour is very good and quite reasonably priced. We even saw a few stars whilst there!!
