More About Our Tours
Starline originated as the Movie Stars Homes Tour when Mr. Sid Grauman, creator of the famous Chinese Theatre, gave his chauffeur (Bud Delp) the idea of driving people around Hollywood to see the homes of celebrities back in 1935. We are still the leader in this tour today.
Also included in our tour portfolio are the LA Film Locations Tour (great for movie enthusiasts), LA City Tours, Walking Tours, and a Night Tour. Similarly, Starline’s City Sightseeing Los Angeles Tours covers over 100 miles of route and has guided narration in nine different languages. In fact, it’s the largest Hop On Hop Off bus service in the world! In addition, we have a large fleet of deluxe highway coaches available for charter to local clubs and organizations as well as groups from all over the world.
In 1935, Bud Delp started Movie Stars Homes with three limousines and drove star-struck tourists around Los Angeles to see celebrity homes. In the mid 60s, our president and owner Vahid Sapir – who was at the time an exchange student from Iran with an entrepreneurial spirit – became Bud’s protégé. By the end of the decade, he took out a $50,000 loan, bought the company from Bud, and built Starline into what it is today: a thriving tour company with a large fleet of open-top vans, closed-top double-decker buses, and open air trolleys that offers a variety of tours given by our fun, up-to-the-minute informed drivers.
As part of Hollywood history with 80 years of experience in the tour industry and the largest number of celebrity encounters of any tour company, Starline Tours is the #1 choice for your Los Angeles sightseeing adventure.
