Hi guys n gals,

I quite fancy being a complete grockel and doing the stars homes tour when I am in LA. You know the one; where they tour round the homes that the stars don't really own but just rent, take you up Rodeo Drive, Sunset, Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood sign etc

Has anyone done this before? I'm looking for recommendations of companies that give good value for money and good entertainment, as cheesy as you like ;)

I did find this one which I thought looked ok for price and things covered, but I am a bit [?] about it all.

Thanks,

Done the stars homes tour a couple of times, in 89 the tour was much better.The tour buses are no longer allowed into Bel Air and Beverley Hills but still go around Brentwood.Used a tour company with offices in Santa Monica right in front of the police station.Westwood Memorial Park is worth a look,resting place for lots of stars.Always wanted to do the Warner brother's studio tour,has to be prebooked but it's a real working studio.

That's coz you are deemed a Celtic cousin, like the Welsh; it's only the English that are referred to in that slightly derogatory manner ;)

There is a little poem I remember from my time as a publican in Cornwall:

Emmets are like haemorrhoids,
they come down in Summer,
hang around in bunches,
and are a pain in the arse.

Never done a star tour

I did Paramount tour a few years ago that was fun I saw a few actors - no one really big though

I'd like to do a WB one too (to compare to the others studios ive seen)
Virgin Atlantic
