- What's Hollywood REALLY LIKE? Join me for a narrated walking tour of the Hollywood Walk of Fame starting at the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood and Highland, and ending at the Pantages Theatre at Hollywood and Vine. On this walk you'll find that Hollywood Blvd isn't actually as glamourous as you see on television!

my friend is tinker bell the costume char still there posing for photos with toursits for tips ?
'Gee-nuss?!'
We took our son to the Graumans Chinese Theater when he was probably around age six and they had an Angry Bird guy in a costume. My son wanted a photo, so the guy posed with him and all I had was $1 to tip and he got REALLY mad at us and started swearing. My son said, "he's a REALLY angry, Angry Bird!" 🤣 I'll never forget that!
Hah! Now that's an angry bird!
It’s just not safe in Hollywood right now. Even in the day time. I see it all to often. Please be aware of your surroundings if you plan to visit.
How is it now?
@@AllBikesGreatAndSmall Still not safe. There was a shooting not to long ago.
@@TheJoeTeam Thanks for the heads up
@@AllBikesGreatAndSmall maybe when we vote for a mayor the supports the police, thing will get better. Message me with any question.
@Idiot Rodger true , and very sad.
For my taste, Hollywood Boulevard is grimy, low-class, and aggravating enough to be designated a Hall of Shame, more than anything else. For the international tourists who are into collecting certain traveling trophies like ‘been there, done that’ it might be worth a 5-minute visit, during the daytime hours. But whatever you do, do NOT walk the Hollywood Boulevard at night,; especially if you’re a tourist, or you’ll be hassled like crazy, or possibly even take your life in your hands.
Chris, your presentational enthusiasm and charm make even the grimiest of all places look like interesting destinations to visit. 😀
Concur with all! And yes. I can find the interesting side of any place. But yeah. . I say park at Hollywood and Highland.. explore the mall and that one block.. then head off
I'm from the suburbs of LA, I've only been there to get to go clubbing, once.
I agree, I was excited to walk it and immediately it was smelly/crowded/trashy most of the way. Cleaner/nicer by the mall area!
If you have to go to SoCal I suggest visiting San Diego and Catalina Island and don't bother with LA. Everything is slumy and overrated there.
It really doesn't look that interesting.
Enjoyed the walk, thanks. My daughter and I stayed at the Loews hotel for a couple of nights, it was nice but it alwalys felt a bit scary of a night returning to it.
Thanks Glenn! Yeah. I could see staying anywhere in Hollywood feeling a bit sketchy at night
This is a "City" not Disney...any City has danger...That's just common sense...Be aware of your surroundings and don't act like a typical
dopey tourist and you will be fine. Like anything in life...It is what you make of it. Above all enjoy yourself and don't let fear stop you from having
a great time.
The subway is great we used it from our hotel at universal to Hollywood Boulevard and Santa Monica it’s much cleaner than the tube and New York subway and not too busy.
This video brought back fun memories of searching for our favourite stars and just doing silly touristy stuff like the waxworks and Ripleys - thanks Chris!
Of all the famous touristy streets in the world, this one is the worst and most boring…and it’s a crime because it has so much potential!
I was born in Hollywood and lived there majority of my life and currently live 40 mins away. Hollywood Boulevard and Hollywood in general has become a sh*thole the past 25 years.
Really so unfortunate.. not that you lived there.. but about what its become
@@YellowProductions yea it is.
25 years?? Honestly, my buddies and I use to cruise around Hollywood in the 70s. It has been a dump for a lot longer than 25 years. The only difference is more homeless people but back then the street walkers and pimps were everywhere
@@mikeberg5003 my dad owned a night club across the street from the Chinese Theatre and I was a 12 year old kid running around the streets of Hollywood during the day while he was at work. That was around 1989, and it wasn't half as bad as it was now....so I'd say maybe 30 years or so.
it's getting better in just the last couple of years I've lived in my Hollywood neighborhood (got trapped here during the pandemic), and the City Council just approved a new major development plan for the first time since 1988, and there's a lot already in development, huge construction around the new Target at Sunset/Western, also around Hollywood/Western, and that Toyota dealership on Hollywood is being razed, and replaced with a brand new dealership/shopping center/apartment complex covering the entire square block
Just visited (June 2023) and it was a disappointment (worse than expected, I did read reviews)- zero glamor, dirty pavement and not very pleasant walk overall :( to he honest not even sure why stars would even want their stars there anymore…kinda depressing
Sorry to hear that anik!
Wow! That is NOT how I imagined Hollywood to look like. Absolutely Shocking. It looks like it could do with a wash. I was very disappointed. But once again, Such an amazing video, extremely informative.
Am Most forgot to ask, am I right to say, back in the day there was a Karate School somewhere in this street called Sherman Oaks Karate?
That karate school... didn't it have a wall of lit up windows and you could see everything inside? I seem to remember something like that maybe from the mid 60's when I was 8. The wax museum too.
It’s worth a drive through but a total waste of time to walk.
@@chop3625 Thank you.
Went there once in the 90’s. It was dirty and depressing. I feared for my children. Most of the old nostalgia is of deceased names from ancient history, Greta Garbo, WC Fields, and the like. Fakery like most of the entertainment world.
Great video and very informative, loved that you took the time to show us around the boulevard and the area and not just ta couple of the usual most popular tourist attractions. Thank you! I noticed that the pavements and the roads are in desperate need of maintenance and of course all these homeless people living on the street or in tents in one of the most famous and touristy roads in the world. It's surprising how the municipality and the relevant authorities in general have left this place so unattended, shame.
Kinda overrated 😮
Truly sad to see what has happened to California....the BLVD was thriving in the 80's...Sunset with all the great clubs! It's just a shadow of what used to be.
Yeah.. definitely sad here
What happened
Trust me! Hollywood Blvd is better at night!!
The walk of fame looks quiet empty. My last international trip in June 2019 was a trip to Los Angeles. Tourists everywhere! And using the LA Metro is pretty good. I also took the Metro going to Santa Monica.
There are no international tourists. The lockdowns, govt restrictions, and riots led to many businesses permanently closing.
as much as i loved the Boulevard, it was sincerely tarnished by how MANY tourists were there when we visited, as well, we litterally Saw someone get stabbed right at the Metro station waiting for the bus back to the hotel, i feel Everything surrounding that strip was Waaay waaay more under rated and Better to checkout, better food, better prices, etc. Tho, the strip is worth visiting at least once. Great coverage dude!! hope ta see you back in canada soon Dude!
So many idiots wearing useless face masks outside. 😂 Very nice video though... thanks!
This was quite a great tour of Hollywood Blvd and the Walk of Fame! It was really interesting to see what it actually looked like. Overall, with the exception of a few sights, it does not look that appealing to me. It definitely feels very touristy in many areas, and I know there are a lot more appealing and awesome areas to explore in LA when I've watched the other walking tours. Thanks for the tour! I enjoyed watching this one!
Yeah.. thats why so many locals tell tourists to skip Hollywood Blvd. But its one of those checkmark destinations. You HAVE to visit it.. you just don't have to stay long :)
@@YellowProductions That is very true indeed!
Hollywood Blvd is a sewer. Fewer wastes of time bigger than this. If you're coming to LA as a tourist, skip this. Seriously.
Tell me how you really feel L!
@@YellowProductions The Egyptian theater that is being renovated was purchased by Netflix. Its scheduled to reopen in 2022 to celebrate its anniversary. That Hemp museum has been closed for years.
@@YellowProductions my good man, not in any way a reflection of you or your channel (which are both excellent)! Lived in LA my whole life and just want to give fair warning to any out of towners who are under the misimpression that Hollywood is even worth setting foot in
@@hobbs2005 It's all good L! :)

My old stomping grounds! I grew up in Hollywood. Spent my days watching movies in the Hollywood Blvd theaters including the Chinese and the Egyptian. The Chinese sure has changed. And not for the better. I remember when it had a box office out front! Ah it;s been a while since I've seen the street beggars and the people talking to themselves, lol. Every time I go there the Egyotian seems to be under construction. I waited 3 hours in line in 1980 to see Empire Strikes Back. I used to stop off at the Cahuenga news stand to buy comics and Starlog magazine when I was a kid. Nice to see the old grungy neighborhood again Chris! It may not be pretty but I have some good memories growing up there.
Glad to bring back the memories Rob!
How many people have died that have "ended up" in Hollywood the last 50 years? It's a [Horrible] place.
@@patr70 You know squat.
i hate to be the one to tell you but your headset is broken, it's missing an earphone
Definitely a fun must see, but can definitely be underwhelming based on expectations…
The tallest man measured 8’ 11” tall (not 8’ tall).
This was the biggest disappointment for me in my travels.The area doesn’t even seem that bad on your tour here but it was worse two years ago.Maybe there’s just less tourists to prey on.
Way less tourists right now
I hear it’s a very dark place, full of traffickers out to kidnap you if they get the chance
I’ve really enjoyed this, we come in April and it was useful to see what’s actually there including food options as you walk. It allowed me to look at how far things were walking distance as we get a tour from much further down
Yeah go to Hollywood Blvd and see all the homeless begging you for a dollar
Going to LA for my first time in November. Staying at the roosevelt hotel and plan to only explore the walk of fame one day. Seeing a movie at the Chinese theater as well and the rest, taking a tour of paramount studios (hopefully see Dr phil live), griffith observatory, lake Hollywood Park, and Santa Monica pier as well
Melrose/Fairfax erea, beautiful graffiti filled erea with lots of cool stores and things to do. Venice Beach and south central
Must admit I was quite underwhelmed when I went to Hollywood but people can say that about most places.
I went there five years ago and also earlier this year. It's changed a lot and not for good
Most of walls and blocks look so dirty and awful throughout the Hollywood blvd! Definitely it doesn’t represent what Hollywood apparently is.
Hollywood hasn't been fun since the early 2000s.
what does all this look like in 2024 ? Safe ?
That's exactly what I want to know 😊
Not a single porn shop.
12:53 wow, Ronald McDonalds mom..
Grabbing the Greyhound bus to pick up my outfit for my new strip club/ exotic dancer career and plan to be hired shortly at the Ichy Kitty Strip club...its my Hollywood dream...at 59 years old I know it sounds like a pipedream and could be dicey....its all I've ever wanted. Love your channel and content thanks for the walk. Been watching your channel for many years learned alot
I worked as a busker on The Las Vegas Strip, Times Square of NYC, 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica, and the Walk of Fame/Shame in Hollywood.
Typically I performed magic acts, danced, or dressed as various costumed characters, posed for photos, never ASKED for tips nor demanded any money, and always thanks for any money given. I got a pretty good amount of tips, but got run off by the smelly vagrants in cheap, dirty costumes.
Sorry to hear the scumbags ran you off.. you were doing it right!

interesting to get your take. I know Hollywood from the 1970's til now. It has always been tacky and the homeless has been around forever. If you want to look at the stars on the sidewalk I would recommend it but the over priced souvenir shops I would avoid. There are better places in Los Angeles to be a tourist. Go to the beach or Griffith park save your dollars
When I found myself homeless in Glendale in the 80's, they'd daily bus me to either the Mark Twain or Gilbert Hotel just off Hollywood Blvd. just to get rid of me, the riff raff who just lost his job working his ass off out in the hot sun(I did grounds keeping). I was robbed in broad daylight once, another time I witnessed a gang of about eight to ten kidnapping a young girl that looked very scared and like a runaway who they had date-rape drugged right after her getting off a Greyhound bus. I tried to get 'society' involved, there was tons of people getting off work right then, but they just looked at what I was pointing out, saw what was happening then turned the other way. WE could have easily rescued her within 20 seconds! Instead, one of the last guys in the group taking her away by force came at me pointing a pistol. He was yelling about how he could shoot me down and nobody would care. I saw it was true. I gave him my best glare, then I had to just turn and walk away too, hoping I wasn't going to get shot in the back and in broad daylight with dozens of people all around me, if not hundreds. The hotel rooms I had to seek shelter in you could open the doors with a popsicle stick, that's what they'd tell me to use because "there's no key". Hollywood is a whole different world. Maybe it's changed, I wouldn't know. My guess is that it's grown even worse.

Sadly, Hollywood deserved to have become a wasteland, instead of a societal magnet. In the mid 80's, I stayed at The Mark Twain Hotel and also The Hotel Gilbert. Both were ratholes, but cheap ones at least. But I had to open the room's door with a popsicle stick because they didn't have any key for them. Those were the hotels the welfare office in Glendale would send me to with a nightly voucher because I was homeless, and they wanted to get rid of me. Anyways, one day I walked down Hollywood Blvd. to get something to eat, and I saw a young girl, about age 14, getting carried away by a group of about 8 gang members. She had a very worried look on her face. Me and her made eye contact. She was about 20 feet away from where I was. Her eyes were pleading with me. She couldn't walk or talk. She was silent, and limp. She had probably been given a date r@pe drug at the Greyhound bus station right down the street on Vine. That was all happening at the intersection of Hollywood and Vine. Well, since there was hundreds of business people on the street who had just gotten off work at the time. I grew very bold and yelled, "Hey look! They're kidnapping that young girl, let's save her!". I honestly thought that a group of strong men would back skinny-little-ole me up, too. Instead, lots of people turned their heads and saw what was happening, then they just turned and went on their way again. One of the gang members pulled out a pistol and walked right up to me pointing it at my head. He stood 5 feet in front of me and then he said, "I could shoot you dead and nobody would do anything fool! Better you turn and walk away before I do it too!" By that time the rest of the guys had disappeared down the block and then around a corner. There was zero I could do but turn and slowly walk away, hoping the angry guy didn't shoot me in the back. Another time before that happened, two guys robbed me in broad daylight on Hollywood Blvd. One guy grabbed my arms and the other guy went through my pockets. I was defenseless, they were huge angry guys. I only had a dollar and forty cents on me, just enough to afford a hamburger and fries at the corner deli. They laughed and let me keep it. But they did tear up my driver's license that was in my wallet. They told me that anyone that broke wasn't even an American. Then they pulled out wads of cash and flashed it in my face as they threw my wallet on the ground laughing at me. Yes, Hollywood deserved to become a wasteland instead of a magnet for poor innocent runaway girls, or a spot to dump people wanting a welfare check so they wouldn't have to be homeless long before being homeless got to be so common a thing. I often wonder what ever happened to that poor girl. They probably hooked her on drugs and sold her at will... every single day they could. Well, after they had sexually abused her into broken-spirited compliance first. And that was back in the 80's when Hollywood was just a little bit dangerous. Those streets used to be mostly teaming with regular normal people until the sun went down. Businesses were all thriving too. Well, thanks for letting me share all that. "Maine" says "hello".
stopped a couple blocks short of my little neighborhood around Hollywood and Bronson, there's a lot of famous places on Sunset too, some were on that map at the beginning of your vid, takes me about a minute to walk over to KTLA and the Netflix buildings on Sunset.... BTW, those homeless encampments are gone, prob because everything is back open, along with the tourists
Glad to hear the homeless encampment are gone!
@@YellowProductions IDK about WEHO or East Hollywood, but Hollywood isn't a bad area to live in rn, at least between Sunset and Franklin/La Brea and Western, and there's a massive amount of new development going on, only reason I'm moving to the Westside, is for SM and Westwood nightlife/socializing
Just don’t tell that LA subway is good. It sounds funny 😂😂 4-5 lines 😂
Nice walking tour of Hollywood Blvd!
Thanks Matthew!
Hi Chris. Thank you so much for sharing. A few years back, way before Covid, we went to Hollywood because we signed up for free tickets to watch America’s Got Talent and we stayed at Loews. It was kind of dirty in Hollywood with trash spew on the streets. It was also so sad to see so many homeless. We enquired and waited for our AGT tickets-and nothing. Next day, we checked out of the hotel and drove home. Three hours after we got home, we got an email to come pick up our tickets. 🙄🤷🏽♀️ So we just went to a Ramen shop in our area, which was more enjoyable than our entire trip to Hollywood.
Sorry to hear you had such a sour experience in Hollywood.. you should've had some Ramen in LA'S Little Tokyo before you left :)
Had to unfortunately visit there recently, and it's a huge disgrace. Literally smells like a toilet. As a Native I am embarrassed that tourists even go there. Even 20 years ago it wasn't this bad.
You pronounced Guinness incorrectly
@8:51 dude you left out Michelles italian restraunt? West Coast' oldest Italian place and home of all things old school Hollywood...I've sat at Lucy and Desi',Dean Martins table etc and so much more...sooo many times....So much history there....Amazing place...
he was prob worried about the homeless guy around that spot
Funny you see your first crazy homeless looking guy within the first 20 seconds
That's the REAL HOLLYWOOD right there!
2024 and I still wouldn't go .
German in Venice has shown that L@ is a total dump
why don't they move those events to a much better area. that's just so stupid. that place looks old and crappy!
Anybody mention he walks by the dude from Crashing? George Basil.
The real celebrities can be found in the Facility under the Boulevard the surface is a front the r al and all is underneath 😊
Suggestions on where they might have clean public restrooms I’m sure it’s hard with lots of homelessness to find public restrooms
Hi Chris. Thanks for the walking.I agree that many tourist go see the other parts of the Walk of Fame. I was surprised that when you walk away from the tourist area, it tends to get a little sketchy. Love the architecture of the area.
Yeah. It falls apart fast
Thank you for this informative video. Hollywood really doesn’t seem like my cup of tea but I’m definitely giving it a try anyways.
I know someone who has a star and I use to go decorate it for her on her birthday. I use to get there at 6am, decorate it, take a picture and leave. She died in 2018. I could not image doing it now even at 6am.
You get your own star so after you’re dead millions can walk on you ☹️
Yeah agree I did the walk at night a few years ago .. as an Aussie tourist it was an eye opener !!
I bet it was!
Get rid of NEWSOME. He's destroyed Cali
You missed Kobe and Gg mural. You walk right past one
Did he say Genius Book of World Records??
I don't care much for Hollywood or L.A.... over-rated
Have you visited the new Amoeba Music Chris? I only managed to visit the old site just the once on my LA holiday in 2019, was sad to hear they had to move.
Amoeba moved because they sold the building and made millions of dollars. Nothing sad about it. Now they are on Hollywood Blvd and Argyle next to the subway station. Smaller store.
I never seen the walk of fame in person. Also I don’t know it was on both sides of the street.
Hi Bass . Thanks for the walking.I agree that many tourist go see the other parts of the Walk of Fame.and Nice tour. Great video Chris
Thanks for that informative video.
Greetings from Germany!
2:57… Did not know Starline Tours was a real company.. haha the promotion Lana gave them with Honeymoon!!
Hah... yeah... sure is :)
Which is better/safer to do at night between 8 and 10pm... Hollywood Blvd or santa monica pier...in december?
Santa Monica Pier 100% better at night
Avoid Hollywood Blvd after dark. And be careful during the day.
Pier, The Grove. West Hollywood, Bev Hills, Griffith Park Observatory.
I know this was recorded in October 2021. I went just after Labor Day in 2023 and was randomly punched in the face by a mentally ill homeless person. I was right across the street from El Capitan near where you started. I was trying to get away from the crowd and call Uber. Fortunately, it wasn't a hard hit, and I got out of there. Lesson of the day: pay attention to my surroundings.
Ooof. So sorry to hear that happened to you! But thanks for sharing your experience so others can be aware of the situation
Being from the UK at school 🎒🎒🎒 growing up we were always told that Hollywood is a place where dreams are made of!!! I'm so disappointed as to just how filthy this place is!!!! Hollywood a major worldwide tourist attraction 🧲🧲🧲!!!! You think 💬💬💬 they would at least keep the place clean!!! The exotic clothing shop and the dollar store was one of the best things about this place!!!! FFS!!!!
Nightmares are also dreams 😀
Shame, it's pretty grimy and not fun.
Is there a 💩 app like in San Francisco? You got to know what you are walking into. 😆
Hah.. not sure about that one
You dont need an app. It's all over.
WHAT!? At 5:28 you don't mention the Hollywood Museum?
I know it is Hollywood Blvd...adjacent...barely
But it is hands down the best museum in that area; if not in all of Hollywood!
Thanks for the tip 😀
Did not know LA had a subway... and I lived in San Pedro from 1995-2000.
Yeah.. most people don't :)
GREAT VIDEO! I haven't been there in over 40 year's!😃
Thanks Norma! Is it better or worse now? :)
@@YellowProductions Some things are better. But some...not so good!
My old neighborhood. Walked here MANY times. Thanks. Greetings from Cambodia.
Thanks Kim!
Great walk Chris. We were in Hollywood in 2014. Remember the Chinese Theatre & Dolby Theatre. We did one of this open air hop on hop off tours. Stayed just of the blvd in a nice apartment. The street with Starbucks on the corner near Wax Museum. Also been to Ripleys was great. Coming to LA next August. Will watch more videos to see what I want to plan. 😊
Very cool Cathy! Great travel memories!

not a religion but a cult
Hi Chris! I really enjoyed this Hollywood Blvd walking tour. To me it looks like less folks then when I was last there is May. Good social distancing! Thank you so much. CAB😊
Thanks CAB!
Bruh it's the walk of shame even I leave on the morning and get breakfast at Joe's pizza
Mmm. Breakfast pizza!
I love these walking tours that you do Chris. I’m curious do you ever feel awkward doing these especially wearing a head set? Not sure how loud you sound when you do these and if it draws attention to you.
Certainly the gimbal and the headset draw attention. But the good news about this headset microphone is I can talk at a normal conversational volume so I'm not drawing a ton of attention from sound at least. I'm used to drawing attention though so it doesn't really bother me
This was the best ever. I moved to LA in 1971 to work in the TV industry and indeed I did for a long time. I finished off my career as a director of sitcoms.
Does Warner Brothers give tour's of their enormous studio complex that's we're of many movies created and The Big Bang Theory your supposed to be able tour there old stage and possibly meet some or all of the former cast.?
Yes. Prices start at $70
Where is Cagney's star?
17:54 You walked right past Scum & Villainy and didn't even mention it LOL. It's a Star Wars themed Cantina similar to Oga's Cantina at Galaxy's Edge, except it's been there longer.
Neat! You taught me something new Jack! I'll have to check that out next time I'm around Hollywood
@@YellowProductions It's really cool, I went there while I was waiting for Galaxy's Edge to open. You can cosplay there, and they do other movies besides Star Wars, like Lord of the Rings, etc. But the theming is similar to the Star Wars Cantina. And they have themed drinks! (Their "Blue Milk" is similar to a Blue Hawaiian.)
@@TravelJack That used to be a great bar that had live music.
Awesome job Chris
Thanks Adam!
No problem chris
No worse than any other city.
I'm going to do my honeymoon in California and I was planning to visit Walk of Fame by night, thankfully I found this video. Thank you from Italy!
Thanks Alessandro. Yeah. Definitely visit in the day time!
@@YellowProductions do you have a death wish?
I’m from CA and I’m embarrassed that the city of Los Angeles hasn’t put more effort into making this area more attractive and safer for tourists. They should make a few blocks by the Chinese theater into a car free pedestrian zone which would allow visitors to really enjoy themselves. A state sponsored museum featuring the history of Hollywood specifically and Los Angeles more broadly as the center of entertainment could be built.
People from all over the world come here only to find a trashy and neglected area, we owe it to our visitors to make it memorable and pleasant experience!
A problem with the leadership in LA is that they always prioritize the most urgent issues which is short-sighted as tourism brings a lot of tax revenue to the city but tricking people into visiting LA won’t work anymore because word is spreading through channels like this one and social media which will drastically lower the number of visitors overtime, in turn, lowering tax revenue for the city.
Great tour. I used to live in Hollywood and would ride my bike to the Chinese Theater. I really like your term unhoused.
Looks better on TV
Chris is the perfect thing to watch when I come home from work, shower and eat
Awesome :)
Where you from man ?? It's not pronounced Genius world records. Pronounced like thar English beer Guiness. Sceintoloists have a giant celebrity center on Sunset I believe. The amount of Real estate they own is mind boggling
great video. i always watch what i can of yours. im came here from the uk and the ammount of people who harassed you to buy items or look at their items just ruined the whole day
It's a dump and always has been but you should have seen it in the 70s. Oh My God. Cheers to you and I can't wait to get back to visit the UK!
@@mikeberg5003 it was sure different from what you see on tv but glad ticked it off my travel list
The aggressive costume people and their photo offers are the worst
🤩🤙 Hey Chris!
