CitySightseeing Los Angeles is proudly partnered with Starline Tours, a leading name in Los Angeles tourism for more than 80 years.


The company that would become Starline Tours was originally founded in 1935 when a limousine driver decided to give visitors to Los Angeles tours of the homes where movie stars lived during his down time. He found such a demand for these tours that he elected to start his own company dedicated to providing them, and the Starline Tours story began.


There are a lot of tour companies in Los Angeles that offer celebrity home tours, but none of them are permitted to operate in as extensive and exclusive an area as Starline Tours. Thanks to unique arrangements with city officials, Starline Tours is allowed to lead guests into glamorous neighborhoods where other tour companies are forbidden to go. That’s a big part of the reason Starline’s tours remain so popular -- they take our customers places they would otherwise not be able to visit as part of an organized tour.


Enjoy the CitySightseeing Hop-On Hop-Off network, or discover more of L.A. by expanding your Starline Tours experience.

CitySightseeing’s partnership with Starline Tours is centered on the six-route Hop On Hop Off network, which spans practically every major sight and point of interest in the greater L.A. area. Four touring routes and two connector routes span the city from end to end, creating a city-wide showcase of famous sights and exclusive neighborhoods.


In addition to the Hop On Hop Off bus tours, Starline Tours also offers a wide range of other exciting excursions, including its expanded lineup of Celebrity Homes tours, of which the original Movie Stars’ Homes Tour is still a part. Guests can also explore popular parts of the city in great detail as part of a hosted tour, staffed by engaging and knowledgeable guides. See Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, Brentwood, Malibu, Santa Monica and much more.


Guests can also take advantage of Starline’s affordable, convenient ticket and transportation packages that serve local theme parks, including Universal Studios Hollywood, Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm, Six Flags Magic Mountain, and more. Starline Tours continues to be the city’s most prominent and trusted name when it comes to providing visitors with convenient transportation alternatives and unforgettable holiday experiences.
