Philip has a real passion for his subject - the early days of Hollywood. He tells the story of the early days of Hollywood with a walk past some of the sites of the early studios. He is really knowledgeable about the origins of them and how they developed. Very interesting and without a tour like this you would not...

I agree with most of the reviews that this has to be one of the most interesting tours of Hollywood you can take, especially if you have an interest in the history and origins of the industry. Amazingly, although many of the sites and buildings that are referred to sadly no longer exist, there are still many ooh and ah...

I took this tour today and had a great time.Philip is extremely knowledgeable about the history of the entertainment industry in LA, and shares a wealth of interesting information in a very entertaining way. Who knew there was so much history in such a short span of Sunset Boulevard?
Definitely recommended for anyone interested in Hollywood's role in movies, radio...

This tour is worth it! Philip has such a wonderful knowledge of the history of Hollywood and his delivery is delightful. It is absolutely amazing how much has happened in this 1/2 mile stretch of Sunset. Well worth the price and 90 minutes of your time. You won't be disappointed.

This tour is perfect for film buffs, history buffs or anyone looking for an entertaining way to spend an afternoon in Hollywood. Felix takes you on a magical mystery tour. What he is taking you by, talking about, isn't really there in the form it used to be, in the eras he is describing, but he makes it seem so...

Philip Mershon, aka Felix, is a passionate historian of Hollywood, from its founding to the current day. This is a small (approx. 8 people) walking tour of a 1/2 mile stretch on Sunset and Vine. Philip provides fascinating information about the founding of the major studios, radio networks, tv networks and record companies. You could drive down this street forever...
