Hear the tidbits about the Golden Years of Hollywood, sipping drinks along the way!
"Hooray for Hollywood - That screwy, ballyhooey Hollywood"
Immerse yourself in the Los Angeles of the past on this easy and enticing tour of the Golden Era of Hollywood. The perfect way to begin your evening is this stroll along Hollywood Boulevard. Your local guide will know the folk tales and the stories as well as the facts as you pass some of the famous locations where producers and directors had lunch or spent their evening. Hear about the discoveries of new starlets while viewing the well-known spots where 'it' happened.
Many celebrities and those who were the wannabes of this Golden Age are still with us which makes these tales of the glorious years even more interesting. Along the route you will see and, in some cases, enter the speakeasies and hangouts frequented by the mob, and places that were the subject of many movies and other productions.
Expect to have special access to behind the scenes locations so the facades along the street will become real as you pass through their doors. Bars and lounges and restaurants that have been the subject of many of the folktales involving these celebrities are an integral part of your experience. You may even get lucky and have a star sighting!
This excursion is best done on foot, allowing you to stop into some of the special bars that remain on this path. Now and then a visit will be highlighted by a special iconic drink reminiscent of those golden times. Even find a light snack included along the way.
You will feel like a person 'in the know' by the end of this experience, and if you wish, you can backtrack on your own to a spot you found intriguing.
