A First Timer's Guide To Hollywood Sightseeing Bus Tours

By Etta Bowen


It can be quite exciting to tour a city that is renowned for being the center of entertainment. Not only will you be able to see the sets of famous productions, but you will also be able to relax, wine and dine and absorb various attractive sights. So as to have a good experience, keep a few things in mind when it comes to Hollywood sightseeing bus tours.

Find out how long the trips are going to be and choose the most appropriate tour. There are short, as well as long tours. Long tours are best for individuals who want to see a lot of things and visit many places. However, if you do not have a lot of time or a lot of money to spend, shorter trips are a good alternative. In addition, some tour companies allow you to hop and off buses. This means that you can get out of the bus in the middle of a tour or you can get on the bus in the middle of the trip.

Take time to study the different routes that the buses go through. This will help you pick the most suitable route, based on what you would like to see. In most instances, it doesn't really matter whether you sit on the right side or on the left side of the bus as both sides of the road usually have tourist attractions.

Confirm the time and date of your tour. This is to ensure that you go for your trip as scheduled. You should also find out what the cancellation policy of the company is. You have the option of going for a tour during morning hours, or in the afternoon. You also have the choice of going for an evening tour.

Planning ahead of time will minimize chances of you missing out on a trip because you arrived at the pick-up location late. You should also know what time your trip is scheduled to end. This will help you make arrangements on how you will get back home or to your hotel once the trip is over.

If you want, you can book your trip in advance. This can be many months, weeks or even days before the scheduled date. This will minimize chances of you missing out on a trip, especially during busy seasons. One of the easiest ways to book a trip in advance is to make reservations through the website of the tour company.

If you will be using your own vehicle, then you will need to find parking for it for the whole time that you will be gone. Try as much as possible to find a parking space close to your pick up location. This will decrease the distance that you will have to walk, so as to get to the tour bus. Consider parking in a parking lot if you will be gone for many hours.

If you have a baby, call the tour company and ask if babies are allowed on board. You will most likely not be charged for the baby, provided that you carry them during the tour. However, so as to prevent yourself from getting exhausted and to minimize chances of your kids getting bored, it may be better to go for a shorter tour of you are taking your kids along.
