The Six Tours and Tickets, Close Up

Hollywood Boulevard by day, stars set into the sidewalk under palm trees

In short: the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a public sidewalk with no ticket, so none of the six GetYourGuide products below sells the Walk itself. Two are guided walks, two are indoor attractions entered from Hollywood Boulevard, and two are vehicle tours that start on or near the boulevard. Each listing states free cancellation up to 24 hours before. Each page below takes one product at a time, with its own listing details.

Two walks on foot

The Walk of Fame walking tour lasts 2 hours, meets outside Musso & Frank Grill at 6667 Hollywood Blvd and, according to its listing, heads down the Walk of Fame before returning to Musso’s. It is listed as wheelchair accessible, and the same listing says it is not recommended for people who cannot walk more than a mile.

The Hollywood Sunset Walk also lasts 2 hours and starts and finishes at Ovation Hollywood on Highland Avenue. Its listed itinerary gives 20 minutes to the Walk of Fame and 40 minutes to Runyon Canyon Park, so it involves a hike and uphill walking in a canyon park. The listing does not state wheelchair access.

Two rooms beside the sidewalk

The Dolby Theatre guided tour is a 30-minute tour of the home of the Academy Awards, with tickets collected at the box office on Level One of Ovation Hollywood (formerly Hollywood & Highland). The listing marks it as wheelchair accessible and also notes several flights of stairs; guests with disabilities are asked to tell the theatre at purchase.

Madame Tussauds Hollywood sits at 6933 Hollywood Blvd, next to the TCL Chinese Theatre. The ticket is valid for one day with no set entry time, according to the listing, which also marks it as wheelchair accessible.

Two tours by vehicle

The open-air bus tour has two departures. The Hollywood one lasts 2 hours and boards at the Hollywood Visitor Center on the Walk of Fame before driving to the Hollywood Hills and Beverly Hills; the Santa Monica one lasts 3.5 hours and includes 30 minutes on the Walk. The listing does not state wheelchair access.

The Hollywood night tour lasts 1.5 hours in an open-top vehicle, checks in at 1738 N Orange Dr, just off the boulevard, drives Hollywood Boulevard and stops for 30 minutes at Griffith Observatory. The listing does not state wheelchair access.

What none of them is

None of the six is needed to see the Walk of Fame. The sidewalk, the stars and the star ceremonies are free, as is the Walk of Fame free explains, and the self-guided walk sets out a route from Gower Street to La Brea Avenue. Which tour sorts the six by time, weather, group and language.

Walk of Fame Tour is an independent guide. It is not the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, not the official Hollywood Walk of Fame website and not a tour operator, and it is not affiliated with any of the companies whose tours and tickets it describes. Booking links go to GetYourGuide and are affiliate links: a booking made through them may earn this site a small commission at no extra cost to the traveller. See the affiliate disclosure.

Frequently asked questions

What does each close-up cover?

One product per page: what it is, the route or visit in the order the listing gives it, how much of it happens on the Walk of Fame, accessibility as the listing states it, inclusions, house rules and what travellers mention by first name. No prices appear; the current price shows in each page’s booking widget. All six tours sets them side by side.
