Private Los Angeles 4-Hour Driving Tour — Venice, Santa Monica & Hollywood Highlights
Select participants and date
The driver eases out of Venice’s grid and the ocean’s scent lingers like a promise. Windows down, the city unspools: palm-lined boulevards, spray-painted murals, the Ferris wheel at Santa Monica Pier catching late-morning light. For four hours a private car becomes a mobile lens through which Los Angeles makes sense — and surprises — on its own terms.

Adventure Tips
Pick your priority stops
With 20+ potential stops, choose 4–6 must-sees (beach, observatory, Rodeo Drive) to avoid rushing each location.
Beat peak traffic
Start earlier in the day or schedule beach and westside stops before 11am to avoid afternoon freeway congestion.
Bring a charged phone
You'll use the Pintours app for navigation and local content — pack a power bank if you plan to photograph and stream.
Parking and optional hikes
If you select self-drive, allow extra time for parking at Griffith Observatory or trailheads near the Hollywood Sign; paid lots fill quickly.
