Experience Los Angeles in Hop On Hop Off Bus Tours

Los Angeles – a name that conjures up visual imagery like palm trees, Hollywood sign, and crisp blue skies. But it is not just the film industry that the city excels in but also the oil. Yes, LA was leading oil production in the US and by 1930 it was producing a quarter of the world’s oil. The real reason behind LA being the mecca of entertainment is Edison’s patent. Filmmakers flee to LA to get away from enforced patents by Edison on movies made in New Jersey. Did you also know that the popular ‘Hollywood’ sign initially said ‘Hollywoodland’?

LA has an exhaustive array of things to see and do. See the Hollywood Sign, Sunset Strip, and Hollywood Walk of Fame! Or check out Disneyland, Universal Studios, and Madame Tussauds! And, if you want to save a little dough, you can combine your tour with other LA attraction tickets, why not pair your bus tour with the Hollywood Celebrity Homes tour? You can even pick up a Los Angeles Sightseeing Flex Pass which includes a hop-on hop-off tour, Legoland admission, Zoo tickets, and much more.

If you want to save money during your trip around the City of Angels, consider some of the following bargains.

Los Angeles Tourist Passes

If you’re planning to enjoy several different activities and attractions in Los Angeles, you could save a lot of money by using a tourist pass.

Most Los Angeles tourist passes include at least one bus tour, and some actually offer more than one of the services listed on this post.

The following Los Angeles bus tours are included with at least one tourist pass:

• Hop-on-Hop-off Bus Tours
• Starline Celebrity Homes Tour
• Starline Movie Location Tour
• Star Track Hollywood Bus Tour

There are three different types of pass that include LA bus tours: all-inclusive and flex passes.

If you’re looking to save the most, an all-inclusive pass includes admission to dozens of activities for a specific amount of time (1, 2, 3, 5, or 7 days).

A flex pass allows you to pay one flat price for a set number of attractions (3, 4, 5, or 7) that you can visit over the course of 30 days. 

While this service isn’t as limited by time restrictions, it’s also a bit more difficult to save money.

Even at its best, you’ll be paying more than $31 per attraction, so it wouldn’t make sense for cheaper activities.

Here are a few of the more popular activities and attractions included with these services:

• Universal Studios Hollywood
• TCL Chinese Theater Tour
• Sony Pictures Studio Tour
• Six Flags Magic Mountain
• Warner Bros Studio Tour
• Dolby Theatre Tour
• Madame Tussauds
• Knott’s Berry Farm
• Hollywood Museum
• Grammy Museum

Depending on which tourist pass you choose, you could save anywhere between 10% - 50% off ticket prices.

For more details, please read our post covering Los Angeles tourist passes .

Combo Packages

In addition to tourist passes, there are also several combo deals which include Los Angeles bus tours. 

These saving opportunities combine two or more activities for one flat price, allowing you to save some money on a few fun things to do.

If you’re interested in a hop-on-hop-off bus tour, check this list of combo packages available with those services.

Movie Star Homes Tour + Warner Bros. Studio Tour

Although we do our best to provide all the details you'll need to choose the best Los Angeles bus tour for your interests, there's always a chance we might forget something.

It's also just a good idea to get a wide variety of opinions and perspectives, because everyone has a bias.

That's why we have a Los Angeles Travel Tips group on Facebook where you can ask any question you might have and find out what other people think about these bus tours.

As you can see, group members are always asking for recommendations about which bus tour to take, and there are always a wide range of interesting answers.

When it comes to Hollywood and celebrity home tours, Starline is probably always going to be one of the biggest names in Los Angeles, and most travelers swear by the quality of their services.

That said, Surf City is also quite popular, and they usually come very highly recommended. Star Track is also typically popular, although there aren't as many positive comments about their tours.

A Day in LA is another bus tour that frequently gets mentioned in our Facebook Group. Most travelers feel they offer a good overview of the city.

In addition to all the specialty bus tours, the hop on hop off tours are also quite popular. Some even suggest getting a 2-day ticket to make sure you can experience every location on the outing.

For more helpful advice, make sure to check our Los Angeles Travel Tips group on Facebook. Consider leaving a comment of your own if you can't find the answers to your questions!
