REVIEW · LOS ANGELES
20 Min Ferrari tour in Hollywood (Drive or Be driven)
Book on GetYourGuide →Operated by VIP HOLLYWOOD TOURS · Bookable on GetYourGuide
A Ferrari in Hollywood is a quick reality check. This private 20-minute run in a Ferrari California T mixes street sights with real-seat access to the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
I love the combo of getting behind the wheel with a professional guide and the easy photo moments right at the car. You’ll also feel that engine punch that makes this sort of short outing feel totally worthwhile.
One catch to keep in mind: it’s only 20 minutes, so it’s a taste, not a whole-day Hollywood tour. Plan for a hit of adrenaline and landmarks, then go enjoy the rest of Hollywood on foot or with a longer plan.

Key Things That Make This Ferrari Tour Work

- Walk of Fame time from the driver’s seat: You don’t just pass by, you actually stop and pose.
- Private guide/co-pilot support: You’re not figuring out logistics while trying to drive a supercar.
- Ferrari California T for 20 minutes: Short duration means you get the thrill without a long time commitment.
- Drive or split driving: Choose what fits your comfort level and your group.
- Photos at the wheel: You’ll leave with something more memorable than a quick phone snapshot.
- Hollywood Boulevard plus a Sunset Strip pass: You see the iconic roads, even on a tight schedule.
Your First 20 Minutes in a Ferrari California T

This tour is built for people who want the Ferrari experience without turning it into a half-day project. You meet at 6808 Hollywood Blvd, then you’re off into Hollywood’s most recognizable stretch with a professional guide riding with you as either a co-pilot or pilot.
The biggest appeal for me is how it ties a supercar to a very specific Hollywood moment. Instead of a generic sightseeing loop, you get Hollywood Boulevard plus that unmistakable Walk of Fame stop, where the whole point is to pause, look around, and have a real connection to the stars.
And yes, the sound and pull matter here. A Ferrari is not just a vehicle, it’s a sensation. In a tight 20-minute slot, you feel the engine performance quickly, then you move on while the excitement is still high.

Drive It, Split It, Or Be Driven Without Stress

You pick your style at the start, and that’s a big value point. The tour offers a Drive it option where you’re the driver, or a Be driven option where you ride in the front seat with the guide.
There’s also the option to split driving with someone else, which is smart if one person wants more wheel time but you still want to keep things comfortable and shared. For first-timers, riding first can help you understand what the drive feels like before you take over.
Do note the driver requirements. Drivers must bring a valid driver’s license, and everyone taking part signs a waiver. If you’re planning this as a gift, make sure the person who will drive actually has the right license.
Recent feedback highlights how kind and supportive the team can be. Names like Alan, Enzo, and Thomas show up in positive notes, and that matters because a tour like this runs on trust: you want the guide to keep you at ease while you do something a little intimidating.
Hollywood Walk of Fame Stop: The Most Photo-Ready Moment

This is the part I’d plan around if you care about making the Ferrari experience feel truly Hollywood. During the drive, you get a guided stop tied to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and you’re positioned to pose in front of the famous celebrity stars.
That small detail changes how the whole tour feels. A drive is fun, but a drive plus a specific landmark is what turns a short excursion into a lasting memory. You’re not only passing famous names, you’re standing there with the car, ready for pictures.
You also get guided help during the stop. That means you’re not left wondering where to stand or how to line up shots. The tour includes pictures at the wheel, which is more meaningful than hoping a stranger takes a good photo while traffic moves.
Possible drawback for some people: with only 20 minutes total, your Walk of Fame moment is still brief. It’s perfect for a quick photo and landmark hit, not for slow browsing or long sightseeing.
Cruising Hollywood Boulevard Like It’s a Movie Set

After the meeting point near Hollywood and Highland Mall (across the mall, next to the Harley Davidson store), you head along Hollywood Boulevard. This is the iconic corridor where billboards, theaters, and famous storefront energy all blend into one constant visual cue.
Here’s what I like about this route choice: Hollywood Boulevard gives you variety in a short time. You get city texture, famous streetscape moments, and the feeling that you’re moving through a place people travel specifically to see.
And because the tour is private, the experience has less of the typical group “herding” pressure. It’s you, the guide, and the car. That makes it easier to enjoy the ride itself instead of watching everyone else constantly.
Also, if you’re thinking about a birthday or big milestone, this is a solid setup. One review praised the experience as a birthday surprise for an 18-year-old, which fits the vibe well: you’re getting a dramatic “before and after” moment in a very short window.
Sunset Strip Pass-By: Quick Views, Big Name Recognition
The tour includes a pass by along the Sunset Strip. You won’t get a long stop here, but the value is in what it signals. Sunset Strip is one of those places where just seeing the stretch reminds you that Hollywood isn’t just about one street.
In 20 minutes, the goal is not deep exploration. The goal is recognition and momentum. You get the sense of place, you get the famous roads, and you still stay on schedule for the return to the start point at 6808 Hollywood Blvd.
If your priority is photography and landmark time, you’ll get that on the Walk of Fame stop. If your priority is scenery and driving feel, the Sunset Strip pass adds a bit of variety without adding length to the itinerary.
Price and Value: $99 for the Ferrari Experience, Not a Full Day
At $99 per group (up to 1), you should think of this as a “supercar moment” purchase. It’s not trying to compete with a full-day Los Angeles tour price. You’re paying for the Ferrari, the private guide support, and the short, timed experience.
What you do get for your money is clear:
- A Ferrari California T experience for 20 minutes
- A professional guide/co-pilot or pilot
- Pictures at the wheel
- One driver for the Drive it option, or one front-seat passenger for the Be driven option
That inclusion matters because the guide and photo time are part of what makes the experience smooth. A Ferrari tour without a guide support system can turn into stress. Here, the format is designed to keep you moving and keep the experience feeling special rather than chaotic.
Extra costs to remember:
- Parking fees are not included
- A GoPro video is available on site for $30
- Additional driver is $50
- Additional back seat passenger is $20 per additional passenger, with a maximum of 2 per booked experience
So the value depends on your group plan. If you’re just one person driving (or one person riding), you’re using the base value exactly as designed. If you’re adding people, you’ll raise the total, so it becomes more “treat for the group” than “cheap thrill.”
Meeting Point at Hollywood and Highland: Easy to Find, Still Plan Smart

The meeting point is across the Hollywood and Highland Mall, next to the Harley Davidson Store. It’s a central, visible area, which helps because this kind of tour lives or dies on timing.
Your best move is to give yourself a buffer so you can handle waiver paperwork and driver checks without racing. The tour requires a valid license for drivers, and everyone signs a waiver, so you want time to do that calmly.
Also consider the languages available. The live guide can speak English, French, and Spanish, which is helpful if you’re traveling with friends who prefer not to operate in English only.
If you’re sensitive to last-minute surprises, arrive prepared for the simple but important admin steps: license, waiver, and getting oriented before you sit behind the wheel.
Who This Ferrari Tour Fits Best
This tour is ideal when you want a fast, high-impact experience. It’s great for:
- People who want a Ferrari moment in a limited time window
- Birthdays and milestone events where photos and drama matter
- Visitors who want Hollywood landmarks without doing a longer, more tiring driving plan
- First-timers who would rather have a guide than self-navigate the route
It might not be the best fit if you want hours of driving or a deeper tour of Los Angeles neighborhoods. The schedule is intentionally tight, and the tour is designed around a short sequence: Hollywood Boulevard, Walk of Fame stop, Sunset Strip pass-by, then return.
If you hate the idea of being rushed, treat the 20 minutes like a highlight segment. After the tour, you’ll have the rest of the day to slow down.
Should You Book It?
Book this if you want the most famous Hollywood landmarks paired with a real supercar experience, and you’re okay with it being short. For a lot of people, 20 minutes is exactly right: you get engine thrill, a landmark stop you can show off, and photos that look like you belong in Hollywood.
Think twice if you’re hoping for a long-drive adventure or a full city tour. This is a curated hit, not an all-day excursion.
If you’re booking as a gift, it’s a strong choice. The reviews you’ll find show that the experience can land as a memorable surprise, especially with the friendly, professional team atmosphere.
