Should I Take a Beverly Hills Celebrity Homes Tour?

self guided hollywood homes tour

This post will focus on celebrity home tours in 5-Star Beverly Hills. There are guided tour options as well as one that you can do on your own for free. 

  • Self-Guided
  • Other LA Bus Tours

Disclosure:  We think you should consider our free tours but we have also provided other options. While our recommendations are always unbiased, we may receive a small share of sales through some of the links below at no cost to you. See the  full text .

INTRODUCTION

As you may know, several notable stars including Jennifer Lawrence, Ellen DeGeneres, and Taylor Swift live in the Beverly Hills area located in the neighborhood of Hollywood Hills.

Of course, celebrities don't all live right next to each other, neither they are available for all days of the year, so it's not easy to find their homes without a bit of guidance.

As a result, several tour companies have made a name for themselves by providing tours of celebrity houses, residences, and filming locations.

However, if you have a car (or bike) you can explore on your own!

Los Angeles is known as a sprawling city and most celebrities live far enough that you will need to use a car to really get to see many of them.

Also, in many cases, the places you visit will no longer be occupied by famous people who once lived there, but they are still historically significant.

Several notable properties are difficult to see from the street, but it's important that you do not stop and hold up traffic while driving through these neighborhoods.

And of course, it is important to be respectful of people's homes and privacy.

To visit where your favorite celebrity lives, our picks for top things to do in LA .

Can you drive by celebrity homes in Beverly Hills?

Beverly Hills houses many famous Hollywood celebs, and you can drive by these celebrities' homes but do not stop. These homes are private property and personal space.

It's also worth noting that in most cases, these houses are either in gated communities or are far enough behind a gate that you won't be able to see them very well.

For the best views, trust a local tour guide.

CELEBRITY HOME BUS TOURS

Traveling through Beverly Hills, Hollywood, and the surrounding areas simply isn't reasonable without a vehicle of some sort.

Public transportation is not a good option for such a tour. So, you need private vehicles.

Thankfully, these many services and tour companies not only provide transportation but also offer commentary about each of the celebrity homes you will visit.

For disabled persons, you will find collapsible wheelchairs on approximately all these buses following the disabilities act.

These wheelchairs have removable wheels to provide more comfort to the disabled passenger.

Emotional support dogs or any other pet is not allowed. Only service animals as per the California State Law and Americans Disabilities Act are allowed.

If you want to see the handful of locations where the stars live without having to find each spot on your own, consider one of the following options.

While on your way must visit a Beverly Hills hotel, where you have a fair chance of seeing a celebrity.

So book your tour and set a reminder.

Each tour is about 2 hours as per our guesstimate in length and will cost equivalent to or between $40-$50 per person.

Some tours may offer a tier pricing format but others have a fixed rate.

The prices also vary as per the number of guests on your private tour. By private tour, we mean it's your immediate party and you.

SELF-GUIDED BEVERLY HILLS CELEBRITY HOMES TOUR

If you've decided to make your own trip through Beverly Hills, the following information should be pretty handy. This route will take over 2 hours.

We will start at Dean Martin's previous home since it is close to multiple local coffee shops like Alfred's or Kelly's Coffee & Fudge Factory. Grab a snack or beverage before your own guided tour to fuel you!

Use a smartphone to find your way to each address and discover the houses of celebrities both past and present.

Streets in the hills are notorious for twists and turns, so it is best to have a co-pilot helping with directing the driver.

Considering that many of these estates are located near busy streets, you may not be able to stop. Also, be kind.

People do live in most of these homes so be respectful.

5. Greystone Mansion (905 Loma Vista Drive)

While not a celebrity residence, many celebrities have set foot in this mansion.

Originally built in 1928 in Tudor revival style as a wedding gift from oil tycoon Edward Doheny to his son Ned Doheny and wife Lucy.

This masterpiece had 55 rooms, stables, kennels, a tennis court, a swimming pool, and exquisite English-style gardens.

A tragic fate bestowed on Ned only 4 months after moving into the massive home, however. He was found dead with his friend Hugh Plunkett. It was ruled a murder-suicide though it remains mysterious to this day.

Lucy continued living in this home with her children until 1955. It was then sold and the movie studios started renting it.

Today this mansion is a historic landmark, and museum and is still used for filming.

The building's resume is extensive. The Social Network, The Holiday, Young and the Restless, Spiderman, and Death Becomes Her , to name just a few.

It is Kermit's mansion in The Muppets and it is Chilton Academy in Gilmore Girls.

The film There Will be Blood is actually about Edward Doheny and was also filmed at the mansion!

Head southeast toward Loma Vista and turn right. Turn right onto Doheny and then right onto Schuyler.

Turn left onto Readcrest and then left onto Lindacrest. A final right onto Coldwater Canyon to reach your destination.

6. Carrie Fisher (1700 Coldwater Canyon Drive)

Although this property was originally built for Robert Armstrong ( King Kong ) and later owned by Bette Davis, it would eventually be sold to none other than Carrie Fisher.

Known for notable roles in Star Wars and The Blues Brothers , Fisher lived in this house until her unfortunate death in 2016.

Head north for about 1.5 miles to your next location.

7. Charlton Heston (2859 Coldwater Canyon Drive)

Known for leading roles in Ben-Hur and Planet of the Apes , Heston lived in this house for quite some time before his passing.

The property includes a pool, a tennis court, and fantastic views.

In the documentary Bowling for Columbine , filmmaker Michael Moore visited this residence to speak with Mr. Heston regarding his very strong views on gun control in the United States.

Next is a slight left onto Mulholland and then a sharp left onto Franklin Canyon. Now turn right onto Mulholland.

8. Jack Nicholson (12850 Mulholland Drive)

Actor Jack Nicholson. Image Source: Wikimedia user Georges Biard, 2002.

This is probably one of the most disturbing locations you'll visit on your trip through Beverly Hills.

Not only is Jack Nicholson's estate tied to criminal investigations, but the house that once existed here has since burned down, prompting some to describe the land as "cursed."

However you choose to see it, this is certainly one of the most notable sites in Hollywood history.

The next location is literally right next door.

9. Marlon Brando (12900 Mulholland Drive)

Actor Marlon Brando. Image Source: Screenshot from On the Waterfront trailer via IMDb.

Not only did Brando live right next to Jack Nicholson, but he also lived with his neighbor for a short time.

The two were reportedly pretty good friends, likely as a result of living so close together.

Although he had a long and illustrious career, most people remember this actor for his titular role in the beloved film The Godfather .

From here, drive west on Mulholland Drive until you reach Benedict Canyon Drive and turn left.

10. Elton John (1400 Tower Grove Drive)

Musician Elton John. Image Source: Wikimedia user Richard Mushet on July 12th, 2008.

The history of this property is as old as Hollywood itself.

Originally owned by silent film actor John Gilbert, the house would eventually change hands several times.

Eventually, the home would be sold to Elton John in 1977, and he would live there until 1981.

Unfortunately, the original mansion that once existed here has since been demolished due to structural problems.

After taking a look at this estate, keep going south on Benedict Canyon Drive.

11. Bruce Springsteen (1244 Benedict Canyon Drive)

Musician Bruce Springsteen at a music festival. Image Source: Wikimedia user Bill Ebbesen on July 7th, 2012.

Although this estate looks deceptively small from the road, the reality is that it sprawls back quite a bit.

Springsteen has reportedly lived here for quite some time, and there are indications that the property is much larger than it might appear.

With a musical career that spans over 50 years, Springsteen has won several Grammy Awards between the years of 1985-2013.

Turn left on Tower Road to find our next stop.

12. Jay Leno (1151 Tower Road)

Comedian Jay Leno. Image Source: Wikimedia user Lee Stranahan on July 18th, 2008.

As host of The Tonight Show for almost two decades, Jay Leno became one of the most notable faces of late-night television in America.

According to several records, he has lived on this property since 1987.

The house is equipped with plenty of space for his various automobile projects.

As an avid fan of cars, Leno has been a host of his own show entitled Jay Leno's Garage since 2015.

To find our next location, drive south on Benedict Canyon Drive until you reach Sunset Boulevard. Turn right here and prepare to turn left onto Roxbury Drive.

13. Mia Farrow (809 Roxbury Drive)

Actress Mia Farrow. Image Source: Wikimedia via 20th Century Fox, March 16th, 1970.

This was the childhood home of Mia Farrow.

She lived here with her mother Maureen O'Sullivan, a famous actress who played the role of Jane in several early Tarzan movies.

Mia was the daughter of Maureen and John Farrow, both of whom lived at this estate.

Mia Farrow would go on to make a name for herself with starring roles in films such as Rosemary's Baby and The Purple Rose of Cairo .

The next stop is just down the road.

14. Lucille Ball (1000 Roxbury Drive)

Actress Lucille Ball. Image Source: Wikimedia via the Lever Brothers on August 31st, 1951.

Most people know Lucille for her unforgettable role in the classic sitcom I Love Lucy .

While alive, she made her home in this beautiful modern colonial house.

If you can believe it, Jack Benny lived right next door at the time, and he would sometimes visit them on a whim.

According to some anecdotes, Lucy would personally hand out candy at the front door every Halloween.

You'll find the next destination just down the street.

15. Diane Keaton (1015 Roxbury Drive)

Actress and Filmmaker Diane Keaton. Image Source: Wikimedia user Firooz Zahedi, 2011.

This Spanish-style home was originally owned by Betty Grable, but it would eventually be sold to Diane Keaton.

Being something of a preservationist, Keaton renovated the house to keep it in good condition.

Eventually, even Madonna would own this building at one time. The house has 7 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, and a full-size swimming pool in the backyard.

To reach our next stop, head back to Sunset Boulevard and drive south until you reach Copley Drive.

16. Gene Hackman (9901 Copley Drive)

Actor Gene Hackman. Image Source: Wikimedia user Christopher Michael Little on June 23rd, 2008.

You'll find this house located right next to the Los Angeles Country Club.

Gene Hackman is well known for roles in films such as The Poseidon Adventure and The French Connection , but most will probably remember him best as the original Lex Luthor in Superman .

From here, get back on Sunset Boulevard and travel north until you reach Ladera Drive. Turn here and continue north until you spot Monovale Drive.

17. Elvis Presley (144 Monovale Drive)

Musician and Actor Elvis Presley. Image Source: Wikimedia via Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1957.

This was the last Beverly Hills property owned by The King.

This was the home of Lisa Marie Presley when she was born in 1968, and Elvis lived here with his family until 1973.

This house features a lot of windows that provide excellent views of Beverly Hills. In addition to the open floor plan, there is also a nice pool and spa in the backyard.

From here, simply drive north on Monovale Drive until it turns into Carolwood Drive.

18. Rod Stewart (91 Carolwood Drive)

Musician Rod Stewart. Image Source: Wikimedia user Rodstewartonair on July 10th, 1986.

Just north of the country club, you'll find this house on Carolwood Drive.

This is the former residence of famous musician Rod Stewart, who has won multiple awards for his work.

Stewart recorded his Great American Songbook albums at this residence, and he once stated that the song Stardust was the perfect theme for this house.

Keep driving north on Carolwood Drive to find our next destination.

19. Michael Jackson (100 Carolwood Drive)

Musician Michael Jackson. Image Source: Wikimedia user Casta03, 1992.

This is actually the last residence of Michael Jackson before his untimely death.

Jackson was known as The King of Pop, producing several hit records and winning a lot of awards throughout his career.

The house would eventually be sold for $18.1 million in 2012.

Our next location is even further north on Carolwood Drive.

20. Walt Disney (355 Carolwood Drive)

Animator and Filmmaker Walt Disney. Image Source: Wikimedia via New York World-Telegram and the Sun staff photographer: Fisher, Alan. 1938.

Further north on Carolwood Drive, you'll find one of the former residences of Walt Disney.

Although the original house no longer stands, there are signs of his influence all over the place, including a small train that became known as the Carolwood Pacific Railroad.

Originally purchased in 1949, the property would eventually be sold for $74 million in 2014 and transformed into the Kilgour Building.

Once you're done here, make your way back down to Sunset Boulevard. From there, turn onto Charing Cross Road.

21. Hugh Hefner (10236 Charing Cross Rd)

Hugh Hefner at Glamourcon 2010. Image Source: Wikimedia user Toglenn on November 13th, 2010.

You'll find the fabled Playboy Mansion located on the west side of the Los Angeles Country Club.

When Hefner originally purchased the mansion in 1971, he got a pretty good deal for $1.05 million.

This historic building has since been sold to another party after being listed at $200 million.

Indicative of the legend behind this particular location, the rare zoo permit given exclusively to this property transferred hands to its new owner when it was sold.

Learn some fun facts about Hugh Hefner on our Hollywood Tour. Drive west until you find North Beverly Glen Boulevard and go north.

22. Steve Martin (1005 Beverly Glen Blvd)

Actor and Musician Steve Martin. Image Source: Wikimedia via David Shankbone on April 23rd, 2008.

This is just one of the houses owned by Steve Martin.

Although he began his career as a notable comedian in films such as The Jerk and Planes, Trains, and Automobiles , he has since spent most of his time playing the banjo.

As a musician, Martin has won a Grammy and even created his own award – The Steve Martin Prize for Excellence in Banjo and Bluegrass.

After visiting this location, head south again and make your way back to Sunset. Once there, look for Bel-Air Road and drive north until you reach Copa de Oro Road.

23. Nicolas Cage (363 Copa de Oro Road)

Actor Nicolas Cage. Image Source: Wikimedia user nicolas genin on September 4th, 2009.

The next stop is the home of Nicolas Cage who is an American actor and film director known for The Rock, Con-Air, and more recently Pig.

Watch the 1983 film Valley Girl starring young Nicolas Cage after visiting L.A. for fun shots of Lala Land in the 80s.

Although Cage was the most recent owner of this estate, it was also previously owned by Dean Martin in the 1960s then sold to Sir Tom Jones in 1976.

The red-brick property was designed by Gerald Concord and is affectionately known as the "Pink Palace".

This residence is situated on one of the priciest streets in America called Copa de Oro Road (translates to Cup of Gold in Spanish).

The interior includes polished wood paneling, contributing to the 18th-century country house style that was originally intended by the architect.

Our next stop is right down the road.

24. Cary Grant (10615 Bellagio Road)

Actor Cary Grant. Image Source: Wikimedia user Crisco 1492 on March 5th, 2012.

Here you will find the former residence of Cary Grant, one of Hollywood's most famous stars of yesteryear.

Among other notable roles, Grant is perhaps best known as the leading man in films such as An Affair to Remember and North By Northwest .

Fun fact: his birth name was Archibald Alexander Leach.

When Paramount put him under contract, he was going to change his name to Cary Lockwood - but executives thought it sounded too long and settled on Grant.

Although it's not a particularly large or glitzy house, its proximity to the Bel-Air Country Club makes this a very desirable property.

Keep driving down Bellagio Road until you reach Carcassonne Road. Turn right and keep driving north until you get to Chalon Road. Turn left and drive west to Sarbonne Road.

Turn right here and drive north very shortly until you find Stradella Road on the left.

25. Clint Eastwood (846 Stradella Road)

Actor and Director Clint Eastwood. Image Source: Wikimedia user Georges Biard, 1993.

This property is owned by none other than Clint Eastwood.

Although he got his start in notable westerns such as The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly , Eastwood has gone on to become one of the most respected directors in Hollywood.

His recent work includes directorial work on films such as Sully and American Sniper .

Clint owns both this estate and the one next door, giving him plenty of space to work with.

This residence was designed by architect Paul McClean and completed in 2014. It has 7 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms. Its last sale price was $39,000,000.

From here, it is recommended to stay on Stradella Road until you reach Roscomare Road. Turn left and drive south until you see Chalon Road once again. Keep driving south and turn onto Bellagio Road.

26. Alfred Hitchcock (10957 Bellagio Road)

Director Alfred Hitchcock. Image Source: Wikimedia user Dr. Macro on March 29th, 2011.

On the other side of the Bel-Air Country Club, you'll find the former house of beloved director Alfred Hitchcock, who worked on over 50 features in the span of 6 decades.

In addition to directing classic horror films like Psycho and The Birds , Hitchcock was also well known for suspenseful projects like Vertigo and Rear Window .

He was considered the "master of suspense" but also a known practical joker.

Hitchcock also perfected the art of the cameo. He is featured in 39 of his films!

Hitchcock bought this home for $40,000 in 1942 and lived at this residence until his death in 1980. His wife, Alma, died in 1982.

Experts Needed: Harry Styles’ Hometown Is Hiring ‘Harry’s Home Village’ Tour Guides

By Larisha Paul

Larisha Paul

The fangirl-to-music industry professional pipeline walked so that the fangirl-to-walking tour guide pipeline could run. Holmes Chapel Partnership — the community-run organization in the English town where Harry Styles grew up — is recruiting fans to guide visitors through their popular Harry Styles Walking Map, which highlights significant landmarks related to the musician.

“Even during the wet winter months, Harries have continued to visit, braving muddy banks and wet fields to pay homage at Harry’s Wall,” the organization’s chairman Peter Whiers wrote in a newsletter. “Local businesses have seized the opportunity to cater to these visitors, with references to Harry in various locations around the village. But it is time for us to elevate our offerings and ensure that visitors have a truly memorable experience in the village which we are proud to call our own.”

In the next few weeks, Holmes Chapel Partnership will be on the hunt for the most ideal candidates for the role. The requirements listed on the job posting include: excellent communication and storytelling skills; an ability to lead and manage a group of tour participants; and a genuine interest in Holmes Chapel, its history and links to Harry Styles.

The tours will begin in June 2024 with sessions being held on Saturday mornings. The tour guides will work in pairs and trained to lead Styles fans — or Harries — in groups of up to 16 people through the walking map. The organization is expecting there to be “significant demand” in the coming months and is expected to add additional Saturday tours, and some weekday tours, throughout the summer.

“If you’re ready to combine your love for Harry Styles with a rewarding job as a tour guide in Holmes Chapel, apply now,” the job listing urges. Applications will close on April 15 — Harries, get ready to update your LinkedIn.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.
