Along the way guides offer narration on the history of Hollywood and movie making plus the stars that helped shape Hollywood.

Hear us! Red Line Tours offers you a 21st Century experience with the ultra high-tech 'Live Audio' hearing system. Each visitor wears a "walkman-like" headset receiver while your guide wears a headset microphone. Visitors control the volume of the guide along the way, drowning out street noise - especially helpful for the hearing impaired. (This is NOT a pre-recorded tour)

Spot a star - The stars no longer stroll Hollywood Boulevard, but we know where to find them. Red line Tour's guides will offer you hints on places one would most likely spot a movie star in Hollywood.
