What are the must-see attractions included in the first days of Los Angeles tours?

Los Angeles tours begin with a well-curated selection of iconic spots that define the city's character. Visitors explore Hollywood Boulevard and TCL Chinese Theatre before heading to Beverly Hills where palm-lined streets lead to Venice Beach and Santa Monica Pier. According to one TourRadar traveler: "Our first day covered all the iconic LA spots - from the Hollywood Sign to Rodeo Drive while staying at the centrally located Millennium Biltmore." The itinerary balances guided sightseeing at the Walk of Fame with time to explore Downtown LA or the Original Farmers Market at your own pace.

What are the most common pickup locations for tours starting in Los Angeles?

Two central pickup points serve as the launching pad for Los Angeles tours. The Farmers Market Starbucks Coffee Shop at 6333 West 3rd Street welcomes travelers at 6:30 AM while the 4 Points Sheraton Culver City at 5990 Green Valley Circle begins pickups at 7:00 AM. A TourRadar traveler notes: "The pickup was very well organized at both locations making it convenient for travelers staying in different parts of the city." Both spots offer easy access to major highways and comfortable waiting areas.
