Private tour guide Los Angeles area - customizable

All the tour buses seem to use the Chinese Theater as their operating base. A Google search should inundate you with the names of those companies (like Gray Line), you can then reach out and look for private tours.

Also ask your hotel, they likely know someone. All you really need is a town car driver and his vehicle for the two of you.

I've always wondered if the houses they point out really belong to who they say, there's no way to really know a true celeb would not own the house under their own name. As you probably know James Ellroy is not only a noted crime writer but his mother was murdered in LA, you might use him as a search starting point.

Thanks for the reply!
