Visit: TCL Chinese Theatres, 6925 Hollywood Blvd Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA 90028-6103

Beginning in the historic Forecourt of the Stars, the guests are escorted inside the world-famous TCL Chinese Theatre. While in the lobby, the VIP Tour Guide takes guests back in time, through Hollywood’s glamorous history. Guests are shown various costumes, props, iconic artwork, and architecture associated with the history of the theatre. After walking through the displays in the lobby, patrons will be escorted to the main theatre, home to the largest IMAX in the world. While seated in the luxurious auditorium, guests are given the opportunity to relive the theatre’s star-studded past, by watching a short film, hosted by TCM’s Ben Mankiewicz.

Once the film is complete, the patrons are brought back out to the historic forecourt. While being escorted, the VIP Tour Guide divulges fun facts and secrets about some of the most iconic-cemented hand and footprints, including Marilyn Monroe, John Wayne and Shirley Temple.

After experiencing the theatre’s trove of celebrity history, the guests are brought into Grauman’s Gallery. Located in the TCL Chinese 6 Theatres, patrons are shown photographs from some of the most iconic events in the theatre’s past. Also located in the theatre are practice slabs from various hand and footprints ceremonies.

With over 80 years of history, the TCL Chinese Theatres remains one of Hollywood’s most beloved movie palaces.

    In just 30 minutes, you will become acquainted with the life and legacy of Sid Grauman. On this tour, guests are shown various costumes, props, iconic artwork, and architecture associated with the history of the theatre. Visitors will also learn about the history of cinema as well as hear fun facts and stories about the famous venue and some of the most iconic cemented hand and footprints in the forecourt. Booking options are available. Alternatively, walk ups are welcome as tours run 7 days a week (excluding special events). Photography is permitted on VIP Tours, so your camera is essential. With a professional guide, this small group tour is ideal for anyone with an interest in Hollywood history. A visit to Los Angeles would be incomplete without visiting this unique landmark.

    The TCL Chinese Theatres Tour is the only tour in Hollywood where you learn the history of cinema from inside and out. The Tour features stories and fun facts from the theatres beginnings to today, ranging from Hollywood premieres, to imprint ceremonies of your favorite celebrities in the Forecourt of the Stars. So walk through the golden doors of this Movie Palace of the Stars on an exclusive 30 minute Walking Tour. A visit to Hollywood is not complete without this stroll through Hollywood movie history. Tickets can be pre purchased but we chose to do it on the day.

    The theater itself is iconic but....the crowds can be pushy and the parking terrible. I would recommend an Uber or Lyft to the location to walk around. Lots of street vendors can be aggressive too. Its worth the walk to see all of the stars on the walk and the dates signed. It can also be a bit dirty and there are no bathrooms available either. I would recommend keeping the stuff you are carrying to a minimum too...less to keep track of. As with any city area, beware of pickpockets and panhandlers.

    This tour was an absolute rip off! Whilst interesting outside to see the hand/feet imprints of the stars, the visit looking at various costumes, including two pairs of sports shoes discarded by their owners, and a series of photographs, the whole purpose of the visit was to be shown around the theatre auditorium itself - not available duting our tour. As such we were short changed and should have been told this part of the normal tour was not available - we wouldn't have taken it. Do NOT waste your time or money on this so call 'attraction'.

    It wasn't on our list, but using the hop-on-hop-off bus, we got the free entrance with the bus tickets. It is a bit complicated that the tours a time-dependent so you can't get inside when it is suitable for you, but you got to wait for a certain period that they will share when you get there. However, the tour itself was interesting, history, stars, old-time Holywood glamour, lots of fun facts, unfortunately, we could not hear well what the guide was saying as the sound from the movie projection was extremely loud. It is a short tour, but it wasn't a waste of time. If you happen to be there, I would recommend the visit

    The tour gives you insight into the history of the theater which is still in use for showing the current movies of the day, It was a little dark in the theater and you have to watch your step. Our tour guide talked about the design of the theater and its changes made over the decades. He also gave us details of the footprints and hand prints displayed in the front yard. Once outside he talked about the prints and the unique earring Marilyn Monroe left in her spot. According to our guide Star Wars brought much popularity to the theater.

    I took my friends visiting LA on a VIP tour of the TCL Chinese Theatre. Our tour guide was great and very informative. There were many famous hand and footprints outside the theatre which was awesome. The theatre itself is beautiful and historic. The main theatre is IMAX with reclining seats. There is another set of smaller (by seats) movie theatres upstairs, one being in 4D! I have seen movies in both the main theatre and upstairs and it has been a pleasant experience. They also serve alcohol which is nice to have a beer and watch a movie. The tour was great and the theater is even greater!

    Too short tour; better to just watch a movie inside; just take pictures of the signatures outside during daytime

    We had been quite disappointed in the Hollywood walk of fame, as it seemed stars were given to anyone who wanted one. This was not the case with the theatre, and all of the handprints belonged to fully established actors. The tour inside was also interesting, giving us some extra background information and a good chance to view and photograph the beautiful theatre.
