Pickup details

For this particular tour, Glitterati Tours has listed a handful of fantastic starting points. We can also pick up anywhere within the city limits of West Hollywood and Beverly Hills. Please keep in mind that Los Angeles is a MASSIVE spread out city, so we have to limit tours to the starting locations provided. Therefore, there are many places outside of the area that we cannot start or end tours, which includes locations such as Downtown Los Angeles, LAX, Santa Monica, San Pedro, Long Beach and Anaheim.
