Very Worthwhile!
Excursion32451994172, Jun 2026
I really enjoyed this tour and our guide, Erwin, really brought it to life through use of an iPad to demonstrate where movies were shot. Sometimes you’re standing in the middle of where a scene is. Erwin’s humour and knowledge of the industry also contributed to making this a very worthwhile activity!
Excellent Guide and a Wonderful Experience
Sohrab N, Jun 2026
The guide did a fantastic job. She was very knowledgeable and always took the time to answer my questions about the filming locations of the movies and TV series. If she wasn't completely sure whether a scene had been filmed at a particular location, she took the time to check and find out for me. As a big Hillary fan, I really appreciated her insights. Thank you very much for the wonderful experience!
Very entertaining

Our guide was very informative and fun. Great way to tour the city. And see how sites and buildings are used in films, TV and car commercials. I highly recommend this tour
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thanks for the great review and recommendation! Glad you were able to see the city and how the buildings are used by major productions in a variety of ways. We hope to see you on another one of our tours in the future!
GREAT WAY TO LEARN ABOUT MY OWN CITY AND HOLLYWOOD NORTH
lemariegraceb, May 2026
Erwin was such a great tour guide! He gave us so many stories and tips not only about Hollywood North but also as an actor himself. It's a good tour for those looking to get into the industry as well. Walking did not feel tiring because we had enough rest/stops, but also the tour itself was fun! Would love to take the other tours as well
Response from Host, Jun 2026

We're happy the pace felt comfortable, and we look forward to welcoming you on another tour in the future.
