Everything was handled for us — flights, hotel, transfers, and tours to Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood and Hollywood Walk of Fame & TCL Chinese Theatre tour. Great communication from the consultant before departure too.

We added a couple of optional activities beyond The Broad museum (timed entry) and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.
