Great landmark and fun touristy place. A must for all those who visit LA or even people who live here (who I know haven't been here).

great ride on the Star-Liner bus tour, on and off stops all along the route and they announce the major attractions

drove through here just to say I saw it, very busy traffic, no place to park, lots of homelessness evident, garbage cans overflowing, some neat buildings to see, never saw a celebrity, sirens every 1 minute. Not really worth it unless your into this type of attraction, the palace pier and santa monica was more worth it.

There's no Trip Advisor listing for this great little tour so I'm putting it under the Hollywood Boulevard search. It's run by the local historical preservation society and your guide will be a volunteer. It's educational and will give you an insight into the story behind the buildings. Don't miss the tiny bar The Frolic Room, with its great old... More

Disappointed - Reminds me of pre-Giuliani NYC. What you will find there: 1. Homeless people urinating and harrassing you 2. Run-down buildings with exceptions 3. Historic, cool venues and building separated by a lot of liquor stores, tatoo shops, lingerie shops, and souvenir shops that gouge you or falsely advertise sales that are about to end, but actually never do...

We went and there was a n event going on so we couldn't walk teh whole thing. it was interesting to see how the stars are going in different directions. it was a very cool thing to see. I would go back and spend more time there when an event isn't blocking most of it!

If you live in LA, avoid Hollywood Blvd. The crowds WILL slow you down even more than the normal traffic, and it's frequently blocked for premieres. If you're visiting and there is a premiere, don't expect to get close enough to see anything. Also, Hollywood Blvd is choked with gaudy tattoo shops, trinket shops, adult "book" stores, and bong shops.... More

It was fun to drive, explore and people watch! Hollywood and Vine to see stars imrinted in sidewalk, Beverly Hills to look at stars homes. Rodeo drive to shop...or at least see the exclusive shops of LA. Mulhullon Drive and Sunset Strip are a must see.

Seedy area, except for the new tourist mall. You aren't going to run into any stars here or get discovered. Not since 1950.

Since I had to be in the area anyway, I could not help noticing that there was more hype than hip. From what I've read of the Hollywood of the past, this might be an improvement in store fronts, but frankly, it wasn't exactly thrilling to see!
