Hollywood, home of the US movie industry, is all about the glitz and glamour of the Los Angeles dream, with expensive houses spread across an area that is home to the rich and famous.
A visit to Hollywood during your USA rail tour gives you chance to stroll in the footsteps of the stars on the Walk of Fame, where gold stars honour Hollywood's famous (and many forgotten) names on Hollywood Boulevard, one of America's most famous streets. Celebrity houses and a number of movie studios line the route that leads to the ocean.
Sunset Strip, part of the longer Sunset Boulevard, runs through West Hollywood and is packed with upmarket boutiques, bars, restaurants and clubs. Rodeo Drive, meanwhile, is home to some of the most exclusive shopping boutiques around and is one of the places you are most likely to see celebrities. The street is permanently lined with some of the world's most expensive cars, and brands like Tiffany's, Chanel and Versace are all located on Rodeo Drive.
Experience a once-in-a-lifetime coast to coast rail journey across the most diverse country in the world! Your photo album will include many of America's highlights including the Statue of Liberty, the White House, the Wild West, the Rockies, the Grand Canyon, Hollywood Boulevard and the Golden Gate Bridge.

Excellent tour. Great breadth of experience. Well organised. Good city tours. We were given time on our own to explore different cities.
Lived up to 'premium' expectations. Well organised and managed. Group size just right. Good balance between organised and free time. Fantastic hotels - quality and location.

Fabulous and so well organised. Every day was great and we like that there is thought given to including enough free time in each place. We like Great Rail Journeys very much having done two this year! We had Peter as our Tour Manager and he looked after us all brilliantly! He certainly made all the travel very smooth and easy. Thanks go to him. Great area to enjoy. Thoroughly recommended.
