Starline Tours rolls out celebrity red carpet

When staying in Anaheim, tourists feel that Hollywood and the celebrity lifestyle should be within their reach. Now Starline Tours, the oldest and largest tour company in Los Angeles, and the name synonymous with celebrity tours, has opened a terminal in Anaheim and with it, brings their exclusive range of celebrity-infused tours to these Orange County visitors. Located across the street from the Disneyland Resort at the Jolly Roger Hotel, the Starline Tours’ Anaheim Terminal operates tours to both North and South for extensive coverage of Southern California, giving passengers a range of exclusive Starline tour options never before offered from Orange County. Passengers travel in comfortable air-conditioned buses to Hollywood as they hear live narration covering Anaheim theme parks trivia, LA history and landmarks and visitor attractions along the way. Once in Hollywood, most visitors will no doubt want to start by transferring into Starline Tours’ open-top vans for maximum viewing on the world-famous Movie Stars’ Homes Tour. The tour, which began in 1935 with the notion that curious tourists would like to see where the stars lived, is more than a tour of estates and manicured lawns, but an entertaining peek into celebrity lives of yesterday and today.  More than 40 homes, the sublime shopping and strolling area of Beverly Hills, and the perfect view of the Hollywood sign are all experienced al fresco in “topless with headsets” vans equipped with personal headsets, so that passengers may hear every word of their knowledgeable guide without spoiling the peace and tranquility of the real estate around them. The tour is often the star itself in movies and television; Ellen DeGeneres has recently been a surprise ride-along guide on the tour. In addition, Anaheim visitors get the chance to experience Starline’s latest hit, the TMZ Hollywood Tour - Secrets and Celebrity Hot Spots, which was launched to great acclaim last May.  More than a tour, this “show on wheels” was created by Harvey Levin of TMZ and blends the edgy humor and entertainment of TMZ with the savvy tour know-how of Starline for a look at Hollywood in a whole new way.  Guides are equipped with cameras to catch stars on film and it’s easier than ever - the stars approach the tour van, pose for photos, even board the bus!
