Los Angeles’s premier experience provider. We spot Stars, cruise by their homes, see all the hot spots and everything in between. At Hollywood Bus Tours, we believe that there is a better way to offer tours than the industry standard. Because at the end of the day, who wants to be standard?

At Hollywood Bus Tours, we believe there’s a better way to offer tours than the industry standard. Because at the end of the day, who wants to be standard?

When Chris Leschinger started Hollywood Bus Tours in March 2020, he had one van, a deep knowledge of the industry, and a clear goal: to create a better experience for visitors in Los Angeles. What started as a single van is now a fleet of 17 vehicles, thousands of five-star reviews, and one of the most trusted tour brands in the city.
That growth didn’t happen by accident. Chris saw what other tour companies were doing and decided to take a different route. Instead of following the same tired formula, he built tours around what travelers actually want.

You told us you didn’t want to spend all day on a bus, so we designed half-day and full-day options that cover LA’s highlights without wasting a minute. You wanted guides who connect instead of recite, so ours tailor their stories to your group, keeping every tour fresh and personal.

Today, whether you’re spotting celebrities, cruising past legendary landmarks, or standing in front of the Hollywood Sign, one thing is certain—Hollywood Bus Tours isn’t just about sightseeing. It’s about giving you an experience you’ll never forget.
