This private day tour covers two major Los Angeles landmarks with a local guide and transportation included. The tour starts at the Original Farmers Market, where guests can arrive early and browse over 100 unique shops in this historic location dating back to 1934. Next, the group visits the Getty Center for a guided tour of the museum’s art collection, featuring works from the Middle Ages through modern times, including pieces by van Gogh, Monet, and Cezanne. After the guided portion, there is free time to explore the gardens and city views on your own. Following the Getty Center, the tour continues by bus through Beverly Hills, the Sunset Strip, and Hollywood. Along the way, the guide points out notable sights, including the Hollywood Sign - originally built in 1923 as a real estate advertisement and now a symbol of the entertainment industry. The group then arrives at Griffith Park, one of North America’s largest urban parks, covering over 4,000 acres in the Santa Monica Mountains. At Griffith Observatory, guests receive a guided tour developed by former observatory staff and an astronomical artist, covering the building’s architecture, exhibits, and connections to film history. After the tour, there is time to explore the observatory independently and take in expansive views of Los Angeles, including beaches, the LA basin, and the Hollywood Sign. The tour concludes with a bus ride back to the Original Farmers Market. The entire experience lasts about six hours and includes air-conditioned transport, a private guide, and photo stops but does not include lunch.
