Itinerary and highlights

Start the tour off with pictures by the iconic Beverly Hills Sign! The tour crosses in and out of Beverly Gardens Park a few times. This beautiful park goes back to the early days of Beverly Hills and its full of public art.

The homes of Beverly Hills are almost as famous as the residents. Spanish, Modern, Tudor, and every style imaginable can be found in Beverly Hills. This is where we will discuss the history of the neighborhood, going all the way back to the Tongva.

If you haven't seen Rodeo Drive, have you really been to Beverly Hills? The tour will walk right down the world's premier celebrity shopping destination.

The "Pretty Woman" hotel is more than just a pretty façade. The hotel has roots that go back nearly 100 years!

This beautiful park provides Beverly Hills shoppers with a place to put down the bags and grab a drink in a relaxing setting.

End the tour with a stop by the chocolatier to the stars. The tour includes 1 piece of LA's best chocolate for each guest. Look closely at the labels in the display window so you can find your favorite celebrity's go-to chocolate!
