Hollywood “Walk” of Stars 8/17/2008 9:00 AM-2:00 PM

See all the famous (and infamous) landmarks in Hollywood. This tour is a delight for anyone fascinated with Hollywood history, architecture and lore.

You will see many of Hollywood’s most famous landmarks including Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, the Walk of Fame and the Hollywood Sign. You will also see many great but lesser known landmarks such as the El Capitan Theatre (Disney’s premiere theatre), Grauman’s Egyptian Theatre (where the movie premiere was born), the Blossom Room in the Roosevelt Hotel (site of the first Academy Awards ceremony) and the only fully intact “speakeasy” in Los Angeles.

The unique “live-audio” system allows customers to hear the tour guide even over the most extreme city noise. Guests wear
an audio headset receiver while the tour guide wears a headset microphone transmitter.

This is a walking tour covering a two-block area of Hollywood. Guests are advised to wear comfortable shoes and clothing.

Lunch is not included. Lunch options.

Cost: $60 per person

 
Laguna Beach Art Walk 8/19/2008 10:00 AM-2:00 PM

A city that first developed as an artists’ colony in the early 1900s has now flourished into a city that attracts millions of visitors each year to its studios, galleries and boutiques.

Set against beautiful scenery and relaxing ocean breezes, a Laguna art expert takes you on a customized art walk tour explaining the history of the area, exploring galleries and meeting with Laguna Beach artists. You are also given an exclusive look into the creative world of one local artist with a private gallery and studio tour.

The Art Walk tour concludes at Laguna’s Gallery Row where artwork from all genres and styles is on display and for sale. Explore the quaint specialty shops and boutiques that offer shopping with an ocean view. Known as the location where the plein aire art movement began, it is not unusual to still find an artist perched a top a cliff painting a scenic Southern California image.

Lunch is not included. Lunch options.

Cost: $50 per person
