Synonymous with fame and prestige, Hollywood is a world famous area that is known for its concentration of the rich and famous. Glamorous and posh, living in this area is the dream of many. But for most people the only way to get a chance to be in the area is by passing through.

A tour among the prestigious Hollywood area presents the chance to discover the rich variety of attractions that are housed in this prestigious location. Located on Hollywood Boulevard, the tour operator features very small premises but the staff are friendly and unusual. It may not convey an impressive image, but the tour itself is surprisingly good.

The tour goes through various sites of interest and areas that have been frequented by celebrities. One of the best features of the tour is the fact that it does not rush through all the attractions and instead allows you to traverse everything at a leisurely pace and take in everything that is on offer.

The tour itself provides guests with both a vehicle to travel in as well as a guide. When traveling through the area visitors have ample time and opportunity to ask the guide numerous questions that they may want to ask.

Some of the highlights include a house that was once lived in by Madonna after she got married that is today occupied by Peggy from Love and Marriage.

One of the areas that is part of the tour is the Beachwood Village Community. It is here that visitors can see one of Pop Star Madonna's favourite restaurants. Visitors may be surprised at just how small the establishment is.

Beyond this the tours eventually goes to the top of Mt. Lee where visitors can gaze upon the Hollywood sign up close and personal. Beyond being able to look upon the sign, guests can also soak in the beautiful view of the city below, which is impressive by any standard.

The tour may not seem very glamorous due to the nature of the office, but in actuality provides a charming and friendly manner in which to traverse the area. This is one of the strongest benefits of going on this tour as it separates it from other tours in the area.

If you are planning to visit Hollywood and experience the glitz and glamour of the cinema what better place to stay other than at a luxury Beverly hills hotel such as Raffles L'Ermitage which is located close to a number of other local attractions as well.
