If you vacation in the Hollywood or Los Angeles area, location tours can include the usual Universal Studios tours, which are fun for the whole family. This type of tour is not all there is to Hollywood locations tours, however.
Believe it or not, Hollywood location tours are not only located in Hollywood, California. You will most likely be surprised at the variety of tours available and where you may find them. Read on to discover what the best Hollywood location tours can encompass, where to find them, and what you can expect to see.

These tours are scheduled several times daily (except on Mondays), and they offer discounts for purchasing tickets at their website, http://www.hollywoodtours.us.

Hollywood Location Walk Of Old Wilmington
Wilmington, North Carolina has a strong claim when it calls itself “one of America's largest living film sets.” After the dozens of movies that have been made there over the years, many locations and actual movie sets can be seen on this tour. See where Sleeping With The Enemy, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, and Weekend at Bernie's were filmed along with many more great films.
The 1 ½ hour walking tour will show you film locations, movie sets, and the hot spots where the stars hung out while in town. With well over 400 film and television shows filmed in Wilmington, the city generates more film income than any other American cities except for New York and Los Angeles. This just goes to show you that Hollywood location tours don't actually have to take place in Hollywood.
These location tours are offered four days a week and are so popular that they sell out quickly. To guarantee a spot on a tour for the day you want, they strongly recommend that you make reservations or purchase your tickets in advance. These tours are extremely affordable, currently $12 for adults, so they are really a great option for film buffs on vacation in this area.
