Come on to our walking tour presented by Junket!
People frequently picture the Walk of Fame when they think of Hollywood. But the glistening lights on the sidewalk are only one park of this city. The history and energy of rock and roll are abundant on the Sunset Strip. Before 1984, this area wasn't incorporated, so it was a little wild. Celebrities from the film industry, criminals, musicians, and tourists have all brought attention to the gambling and nightlife of the strip throughout the years. Sunset Boulevard has also been featured in a lot of television shows and movies, or it has served as inspiration for them. You will visit some of Sunset Boulevard's most well-known rock and roll hotspots during this trip, where you will learn about their history, the musicians that frequented them, and receive insider advice and suggestions for further exploration.
