A First Timer's Guide To Hollywood Sightseeing Bus Tours

By Etta Bowen


If you love acting or if you are just fascinated by the entertainment industry, then you should consider visiting Hollywood. It will allow you to see what goes on behind the scenes. In addition, you will be able to have fun, eat at various restaurants and also relax. If it is your first time to go for Hollywood sightseeing bus tours, it is essential to know a number of things.

Find out how long the tour will take. You can choose to go for a short tour that is only a couple of hours long, or you can opt for a long tour. Long trips can take most of the day and they tend to be more expensive. However, if you want to see a lot of sights, then it is advisable to go for a long tour. You should also find out if you can be able to get off the vehicle at a particular stop if you want. Some tour companies also allow visitors to get on the vehicle in the middle of the trip.

Before you book a tour, inquire what routes the bus will go through. If there are some particular attractions that you really want to see, find out if the vehicle will be passing close to those areas. In some cases, it might not be possible to see all the attraction sites you want at one go. You may have to book another separate tour and find a bus that passes through the area you are interested in.

Confirm the time and date of your tour. This is to ensure that you go for your trip as scheduled. You should also find out what the cancellation policy of the company is. You have the option of going for a tour during morning hours, or in the afternoon. You also have the choice of going for an evening tour.

Know the timings for the departures and arrivals for the buses. This will minimize chances of you missing out on your tour as a result of getting late. Knowing the right timings will also help you plan on how to get to the pick-up points and how you will go back to your hotel once you are done with the tour.

You can organize for your tour in advance. Contact a tour company through their website and make the necessary arrangements. You can also ask if you qualify for a discount since you made your reservations early. You should also know how long your ticket will be valid for. You can also organize for a tour when you get to the town.

If you do not have someone to drop you off at your designated pick-up location, then you can just drive yourself. You can then pay for parking space close to your pick-up location, if you will be going for a short tour. However, if you will be going for a long tour, it is best if you parked in a parking lot.

If you want to take along your kids, ask the tour company if they allow this. In most cases, infants can go for trips free of charge, as long as they sit on their parents laps. It may be more advisable to go for shorter trips if you have small kids.
