City tour of Los Angeles after coming off a cruise

Hi all, I not sure if this will be possible, but thought I'd ask. We disembark from a cruise at around 9am on 31st October in Los Angeles. Could anybody recommend a tour company to collect 8 of us from the cruise port with bags, take us on a half day tour of Beverley Hills, Hollywood, Rodeo Drive etc and then drop us at our hotel in Anaheim? Thanks in advance

For a group of 8 disembarking from a Los Angeles cruise around 9am on October 31st, a private or small-group city tour is the most convenient option. Since you have luggage and are heading to Anaheim afterwards, you’ll want a company that can provide a private vehicle with space for bags, flexible timing, and pick-up from the cruise port.

Tour Options & Considerations:

  • Private Van or SUV Tours: Companies like Starline Tours, LA Private Tours, or Elite Tours LA offer customizable half-day private tours that can accommodate luggage and your group size. They typically include pick-up from the cruise port, a guided drive through Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, and scenic stops for photos.
  • Customized Itinerary: Since you only have a half day, you can plan a 3–4 hour tour covering major highlights:
    • Hollywood Walk of Fame and TCL Chinese Theatre (drive-by or short stop for photos)
    • Beverly Hills – Rodeo Drive and Beverly Hills Hotel (drive-through and photo stops)
    • Sunset Boulevard highlights or Mulholland Drive viewpoints
  • Drop-off in Anaheim: After the tour, the private vehicle can drop your group directly at your hotel. This eliminates the need to transfer luggage multiple times or navigate public transportation.

Additional Tips:

  • Book the private tour in advance, especially since October 31st is Halloween, and traffic may be heavier in LA.
  • Confirm luggage allowance with the tour company; a van or minibus is often best for 8 adults plus bags.
  • Consider leaving early from the port, around 9:30–10:00am, to avoid midday traffic and have a smoother drive to Anaheim after the tour.
  • If you prefer a guided tour without driving, private chauffeur services or companies like LA VIP Tours can create fully customized half-day itineraries.

This setup allows your group to enjoy the main sights of Los Angeles in a stress-free manner while accommodating luggage and ensuring a timely drop-off in Anaheim.
