Old Hollywood Walking Tour

See Hollywood through a historian’s eyes.

Step off the typical tourist trail and into the fascinating history of Hollywood on a walking tour filled with hidden landmarks, forgotten stories, and the places where the entertainment industry took shape.

Led by Hollywood historian April Clemmer, this tour takes you along and around the legendary Hollywood Walk of Fame to discover what was here before the stars lined the sidewalks—and the actors, filmmakers, entrepreneurs, and colorful characters who made Hollywood what it is today.

What You’ll Discover:

• How Hollywood grew from a small community into the movie capital of the world
• The sites of Hollywood’s first movie theater and first sound theater
• A surprising remnant of Hollywood’s silent filmmaking days
• The story behind the Hollywood Sign and how it became an international icon
• Historic theaters, restaurants, residences, and other landmarks with fascinating stories behind them
• Hidden pieces of Old Hollywood you could easily walk right past if you didn’t know where to look

Along the way, you’ll hear stories of the stars—and the lesser-known people behind the scenes—who lived, worked, and played here, while discovering unexpected remnants of Hollywood’s past hiding in plain sight.

Whether you’re an Old Hollywood devotee, a film lover, a history buff, or simply want to experience a side of Hollywood most visitors miss, you’ll leave seeing the neighborhood differently.
