The glitz and glamour of Los Angeles attract both tourists and dream seekers, searching for fame and fortune in the “City of Angels.” The second-largest city in the United States, Los Angeles is a haven for world-class museums, restaurants, shopping and entertainment. This city is famous for its palm trees and balmy weather, celebrity sightings, and of course, its movie industry. Los Angeles is the epicenter of TV and movie production and is home to attractions including Universal Studios Hollywood, the Star Walk of Fame and the Kodak Theater.

Los Angeles has a Mediterranean climate or "Dry-Summer Subtropical" and enjoys plenty of sunshine throughout the year, with an average of 263 sunshine days and only 35 days with measurable precipitation annually.

Smithsonian Student Travel offers two tour-pricing options to best fit your group's needs:

  • Private tour
    Private tours are the best option for class trips and groups of 20 or more. A private tour allows your group to travel on your own private bus with a dedicated tour director. This option provides itinerary flexibility and gives your group more freedom to customize your tour. Any group with 35 paying participants or more is automatically considered a private group.
  • Consolidated tour
    Consolidated tours allow small groups to be combined with other groups, assuring that your class trip is affordable for everyone. Consolidated groups travel together, sharing a bus and a tour director. The program fee for this option is the same regardless of the number of paying participants on the tour.




Please note that this quote will provide pricing for a consolidated tour of any group size or a private tour with 35 paying participants. To obtain pricing for a private group of a different size, please contact us at 1-800-503-2323.
