If you stay in Hollywood, the Walk of Fame and the TCL Chinese Theatre courtyard are a walk from the lobby. Most visitors see them on the first evening and then ask what else there is. The answer is everything that needs a car.
Hollywood Boulevard is often closed or crowded near Highland Avenue, especially on premiere nights. Your chauffeur will usually meet you on the side street or in the hotel driveway and text the spot. Hollywood is inside our complimentary pickup area for SUV tours.
Because you can walk the boulevard yourself, the better use of a car from here is the Beverly Hills half-day tour for Rodeo Drive and Greystone Mansion, or the Malibu half-day tour for the coast at sunset. The Hollywood half-day tour is still worth it if you want Griffith Observatory and the viewpoints without the parking. For a studio visit, the Hollywood studio day gives you a chauffeur for five hours; studio tickets are bought separately.
One tip: go up to Griffith Observatory early in the day. By late afternoon the road and the lots are full.
