About This Site

Walk of Fame Tour is an independent informational guide to the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles and to six GetYourGuide tours and tickets that start on it or sit beside it. It is not the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, not the official Walk of Fame website at walkoffame.com and not a tour operator. Booking links on the site are affiliate links.

What the site covers

The Walk of Fame is a public sidewalk: 1.3 miles along Hollywood Boulevard, from Gower Street to La Brea Avenue, plus Vine Street between Sunset Boulevard and Yucca Street. It has no ticket and no gate. The site explains the route, how to find a star, how the free star ceremonies work and how someone gets a star. The complete guide brings these together on one page.

It also describes six products sold on GetYourGuide: two guided walks, two indoor attractions on the boulevard and two vehicle tours. Each has a close-up page, listed on the six, close up, and all six tours and tickets sets them side by side. None of them is needed to see the Walk, which is free.

What this site is, and is not

It is an independent guide in English, with translated versions in French, German, Spanish and Italian. It is not the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which administers the Walk of Fame on behalf of the City of Los Angeles, and it is not the official site at walkoffame.com. It is not a tour operator and not a ticket seller: it sells nothing itself, cannot nominate anyone for a star and cannot arrange access to a ceremony.

Where the facts come from

Facts about the Walk of Fame, its history, the selection process and the ceremonies come first from the official site, walkoffame.com, and are attributed to it where it matters. Venue details come from the venues’ own sites, such as dolbytheatre.com and griffithobservatory.org, and transport details from Discover Los Angeles and metro.net. Where only a secondary source exists, the wording says so, with “reported” or similar.

Details of the six tours and tickets — duration, start point, itinerary, inclusions, languages and accessibility — are GetYourGuide listing data. They are attributed to the listing and apply to that one product only. Listings change, so the booking widget and the listing are the places to confirm them before travelling.

What the site does not print

No prices, no fee amounts and no figures from traveller feedback. The current price of each product shows in its booking widget, and the official FAQ at walkoffame.com gives current nomination and sponsorship details. Tour operators are not named, and nothing on the site speculates about why any person does or does not have a star.

How the site is paid for

Booking links go to GetYourGuide and are affiliate links. A booking made through one may earn this site a small commission, and the traveller pays the same as when booking direct. The affiliate disclosure sets out the details. Corrections can be sent through the contact page.
