We did the 10 hour Starlight Tour from Anaheim touring LA and its major features, we were excited... but it turned out to be quite a boring day. The journey into LA took an hour from Anaheim then there was the drops offs from other tour options to Universal Studios and Hollywood. We saw the Hollywood sign and a view over LA then back in the bus. The major problem with the tour was that the driver's commentary was very limited, so half the time we were wondering why is that so significant. So we wouldn't recommend this tour, there was one that took in Universal Studios, with a half day devoted to Universal and the other half looking at the down town and movies stars houses that might have been better.So the message is... be very careful about what you choose if you ever do something like this. We did see the walk of fame and a lot of characters representing some of the famous actors. We saw the stars on the footpath with the names of the famous. We saw a few Hollywood stars homes eg Jackie Collins, Al Pacino and a glimpse in the direction of Tom Cruise' home and all the houses in this area very luxurious. We went to the pier and saw the beach in the fog, we went and saw Muscle Beach in the fog, but we did see quite a few characters and a lot of homeless.
Our 10 hour day became 11 hours after all the drop-offs. So we were very tired at the end of the day.
Welcome back to Australia.
