The Movie Guys' L.A. Film Locations Tour
Overview
Available languages
3 hours
Mobile ticket
The Movie Guys’ L.A. Film Locations Tour will take you to the locations where your favorite movies (and some TV shows!) were filmed, with a unique experience catered entirely to what you want to see.
Once you book, we'll be in touch for you to pick one section of L.A.:
Hollywood
West Valley
East Valley
West Side
East Side
This way, you can see as much as possible in your time on tour. If we visited more than one section, we’d spend most of your time driving, not vacationing.
In each section, I’ve listed 20-30 locations we could visit and you pick your top ten spots - those will be guaranteed! No reason for me to pick places from movies you don’t like or have never seen, YOU pick the locations and it’ll be a greatest hits of just the films you love.
Other reasons this tour is unique:
- We get out of the car and take pics!
- One-on-one attention. We don’t have a bus, so you won’t get lost in the crowd while we spill a script on you.

5.00Paul is such a genuine and kind soul who loves movies just as much as we do! The Tour was a true dream come true for us! His knowledge of Movies, LA and it's history is incredible! Our Horror Tour ruled! We had so much fun! Could have gone for hours more there's too much to see and do out there, its so exciting! Would love to and dream to come back and go for more! Can't thank Paul enough for everything!!!! I'll only post a few pictures to give anyone on the fence a look into some of it 🤓🤘🎃🔪🧟♂️💀
Exceptional Film Locations Tour with a Truly Passionate Guide

5.00This was my second tour with Paul, and once again, he absolutely delivered! This time, I brought my wife along, and we both had an incredible experience. Paul is a fantastic guide — knowledgeable, engaging, and full of fascinating stories about famous film locations around Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and the Hollywood Walk of Fame. What made the experience extra special was how he tailored the tour to suit the places and sights we wanted to see. It’s rare to find someone who brings such passion and storytelling talent to their work. We left with a deeper appreciation for the city and its film history — and we’re already looking forward to our next visit so we can book another tour with Paul!
Highly recommended

5.00Had a fantastic time on my recent tour. Paul was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable about the sites, the movies, and Los Angeles in general, and even had plenty of recommendations for other things to do while I was in town. If you like to sit around and talk about movies with your friends, you’ll feel right at home here. I booked a full day to see as much as possible, and Paul was able to work out a great itinerary, and even squeezed in a couple of special requests. I appreciated the effort that he put in to providing movie screenshots of the sites and even a soundtrack of movie scores for the drive. Really can’t recommend him highly enough.
an amazing experience

Great behind the scenes tour of Hollywood for film fanatics and everyone else

5.00I never post reviews but Paul was amazing! My son is a huge Beverly Hills Cop fan and Paul did not disappoint. From the building where Axel Foley got thrown out of storefront window to the Hotel he stayed at, Paul covered it all. He also threw the in a bunch of stops for the parents but the highlight of the experience was the visit to Griffith Observatory. The parking lot was full but Paul used his mojo to get us in anyway. If you are seeking an intimate behind the scenes tour of Hollywood history then The Movie Guys is the way to go!

5.00My husband who is a movie buff loved the tour! Paul really went above and beyond! First he connected with us very well so there wasn’t any awkwardness. He customized our tour to movie sites my husband selected and literally parked the car at the movie scene and pulled up the movie on his laptop to the identical scene! He really showed his love for movies and Hollywood. He took us to endless locations all over, places we wouldn’t ordinarily visit. Apart from the movie sites, we drove through Rodeo drive which I found exciting. We went up in the Hollywood Hills. I love that we ended on our favorite location, the horror house in Thriller. That street is full of houses from movies and TV Shows: Madmen, the wedding scene from full house etc. We had a great time even with our Seventeen month old. This tour definitely offers the fixability to visit places a tour bus can’t get to. The only downside is that it’s a tighter squeeze than a bus. I highly recommend over a tour bus.
Fascinating and Fun Experience with an Excellent Guide

5.00The Film Locations Tour in LA was a real highlight of our trip, and Paul was a big part of what made it so enjoyable. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the film industry, with a clear passion for the subject that came through in every explanation. From iconic movie scenes to lesser-known filming spots, he provided fascinating details and behind-the-scenes stories that added so much depth to each location we visited. Paul struck a great balance between being informative and entertaining—he kept the mood light and fun, while still packing in a ton of interesting facts. It never felt rushed, and he was more than happy to answer questions and share extra insights along the way. Whether you're a film buff or just curious about Hollywood's history, this tour is a fantastic way to see a different side of LA. Highly recommend it, especially with Paul as your guide.
