Most visitors who stay in Universal City or Burbank are here for a studio: the theme park, or a studio tour in Burbank. The hotels are on the valley side of the Hollywood Hills, and the rest of Los Angeles is closer than it feels.
The big hotels here have large driveways, so pickup is simple. Universal City and Burbank are inside our complimentary pickup area for SUV tours. If you are staying deeper in the San Fernando Valley, send us the address and we will confirm.
For the studio day itself, the Hollywood studio day gives you a chauffeur for five hours, door to door, with no parking structure and no shuttle. Studio tickets are bought separately from the studio. On the spare day, the Hollywood half-day tour covers the boulevard and Griffith Observatory in a morning, and the custom private SUV tour for 6 hours adds Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive before the drive back over the hill.
One tip: the canyon roads between the valley and Beverly Hills are slow from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Plan to be back on your side of the hill before then, or stay for dinner and return after.
