Beverly Hills sits in the middle of the map, which makes it the easiest base in Los Angeles for a private tour. Hollywood is about 5 miles to the east and Santa Monica about 8 miles to the west, so a half day can go either way without a long transfer first.
On our SUV tours the chauffeur meets you at the hotel entrance. Beverly Hills hotels have valet driveways, so the car pulls in, you step in, and there is nothing to park. We are based in Beverly Hills, so every address in the city is inside our complimentary pickup area.
If you want the neighborhood itself, the Rodeo Drive walking tour is two hours on foot and needs no car. For the wider area, the Beverly Hills half-day tour covers Rodeo Drive, the Beverly Hills sign and Greystone Mansion, and the Hollywood half-day tour goes east to the Walk of Fame and Griffith Observatory. If you want Hollywood and Beverly Hills in one outing with your own route, book the custom private SUV tour for 4, 6 or 8 hours.
One tip: leave Beverly Hills before 3:00 PM if the plan is the coast. Westbound traffic on Sunset and Santa Monica Boulevard builds from mid afternoon.
