Welcome to Legendary Hollywood, SelfTour’s GPS assisted audio walking tour!
It was right here, on or around Hollywood Boulevard that so much of the exciting allure of the movie industry took place. For over 100 years this was the work place, playground and home of the glamorous stars, the powerful tycoons, and incredible talents, making Hollywood the entertainment Capitol of the World.
Hundreds have enjoyed this SelfTour Audio Adventure since it was first introduced in 2002. It has now been updated. As they say, things change rapidly in Hollywood! We have preserved much of the original audio tracks performed by two memorable personalities who are no longer with us… actress Debbie Reynolds and Hollywood’s long-time honorary Mayor, Johnny Grant. Both personally lived much of Hollywood’s golden past.
You will be guided with spoken turn-by-turn directions and narration. As you walk, the blue GPS ball indicates your approximate position. When you come to a red site indictor on the map, simply tap it to hear the description and more directions. To hear it again, drag the white slider on the bottom. Use the arrow buttons to jump one site forward or back. Tap pause anytime. The camera button gives quick access for snapshots.
The menu bars top left gives a list of all sites. NO internet connection is needed. You can join the tour at any location, stop anywhere along the way and continue again. All on your own schedule.
We remind you to take caution, use crosswalks, and remove your headsets while crossing streets.
Our suggested starting point is inside the Forecourt of the world famous Chinese Theater.
Now… let’s walk with the stars!
