This self-guided hollywood boulevard walking tour proves that tinseltown’s best attraction might be its celebrity ghosts.

If you ask an LA local what things to do on Hollywood Boulevard, they will likely roll their eyes and tell you to steer clear. To many, Hollywood Blvd is nothing but a tourist trap, fallen far astray from the glory days of Golden Age of Cinema. But there are secrets left to be told. After all, sometimes it’s the dustiest rooms—and the grittiest streets—that often yield the most fascinating treasures.

Join me on a narrated walking tour of Hollywood Boulevard. Together, we will uncover just a few of its fascinating secrets. The stories on this Hollywood walking tour will take you all the way back to the beginning of Hollywood, back to present day. We will travel off the beaten path in search of great rock legends, discover the best place to partake of a perfect martini, discover the museum that has a strange connection to the guillotines of the French Revolution, and learn why you might hear the sounds of a trumpet from a certain hotel—even though nobody is playing. Nobody you can see, that is.
