THE GLAMOROUS, INFAMOUS AND BIZARRE TOUR - HOLLYWOOD & VENICE BEACH, Monday, August 4th, 2003

Well known for its sidewalk collection of handprints, footprints and signatures of legendary movie star's throughout the years. Ladies, you can compare your handprints to the glamorous Marilyn Monroe or Elizabeth Taylor, while the gentlemen can stand tall in John “The Duke” Wayne’s footprints. You can then take a stroll on the Hollywood “Walk of Fame” and see the various stars honored there. Relax in comfort in your air-conditioned bus as we view the homes in the Hollywood Hills of the “Hip and Famous” such as Tobey “Spiderman” McGuire, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, and Drew Barrymore.
The last stop is Venice Beach, famous for its kooky artists, vendors, street performers and funky atmosphere. Join us for a walk down the boardwalk for a variety of bizarre scenes you’re not likely to forget.
