Overview
For the Mount Hollywood Hike we’ll meet you at the Greek Theater. You’ll then hike through the Bird Sanctuary and up into the Hollywood Hills as we tell you about the first inhabitants of Los Angeles, the Tongva. As we climb the hills you’ll see LA spread below you, so it’s a great way to get an understanding of how the city developed and how the different areas connect with each other. From the summit of Mount Hollywood you can see almost the whole of Los Angeles. After that we’ll follow the trails down, stopping at some of the best spots to get those Instagram shots of the Hollywood Sign, to the Griffith Observatory. We’ll finish your Mount Hollywood Hike by giving you a quick tour of the Observatory, before leaving you to enjoy this fantastic free museum. * Tour starts 3pm (Winter) or 4pm (Summer) daily * Reusable water bottle included ($10 retail value). * Children between 7-12 y.o. gain free entry

Hang out at the Griffith Observatory after the tour. It's one of the best museums in LA (closed Mondays).
Aim to get to the meeting point 10-15 minutes early, since we cannot wait for latecomers (there are other guests). This is LA, there's always traffic.
By making a booking for this tour you agree to be bound by The Real Los Angeles Tours terms of service.
Better than hiking directly to the Hollywood Sign - this route has great views of the sign AND it includes the Griffith Observatory, the Greek Theater, the Bird Sanctuary and a secret garden. It's also a gentler hike.
Please check dates/times carefully BEFORE making a booking.
Enjoy sunset over LA from Griffith Observatory after the tour. It's one of the best sights the city has to offer and it's the best light for photos.
When making a booking please do not assume that you can park at the Greek Theatre. If there is an event there parking is EXTREMELY difficult to find. The BEST way to get there is to take an Uber or the Dash bus for 50c from Sunset and Vermont Metro Station (it takes 10 mins).
This is a hike (about 3.5 miles), it’s not suitable for people with mobility issues, a low fitness level or a fear of heights.
