Taking a celebrity home tour will take less time than doing it on your own, because the companies that do them know the city well, are used to Los Angeles traffic and know the best routes that allow them to do the tours in less time.

In addition, the tour guides know where each celebrity lives, the history of the mansions, their architecture and many other facts they know firsthand from living in the city. If you go on your own, it may not be easy to find the houses, or you will have to look for a lot of information beforehand to really get the most out of your visit.

How long is a tour of celebrity homes?

Celebrity home tours can last anywhere from 45 minutes to 9 hours, depending on the tour you book. You can choose the tour that suits you best depending on the length of your stay and the places you are interested in visiting.

The tours are highly recommended if you are going to be in the city for a short period of time, as they allow you to visit many tourist sites without missing anything.

Some tours seem very extensive, but they also include stops for lunch, to enjoy a beach, shopping, to enter a museum or to enjoy the many entertainments that the city of Los Angeles offers.
