Experience an unforgettable evening in Los Angeles on this enchanting tour that seamlessly blends a classic, nostalgic culinary tradition with cosmic wonders! Begin with an early dinner on your own (approximately 4:00 p.m.) at Philippe the Original, the legendary historic landmark that has been serving up hearty, delicious comfort food for 118 years! Founded in 1908, it stands proudly as the oldest continuously operating restaurant in Los Angeles and is widely celebrated as the birthplace of the original “French Dipped Sandwich.” Step into authentic vintage charm as you experience this iconic deli-style institution, famous for its sawdust-covered floors, friendly communal tables, and beloved classics like savory beef stew, rich chili, freshly made macaroni salad, tangy coleslaw, spiced baked apples, and homemade fruit pies. As the sun sets, we’ll make our way up into the Hollywood Hills to the world-renowned Griffith Observatory, Southern California’s premier gateway to the cosmos. Built in 1935 high upon the south-facing slopes of Mount Hollywood, this breathtaking Art Deco architectural masterpiece commands sweeping, unparalleled panoramic vistas of the iconic Hollywood Sign and the glittering Los Angeles skyline. Enjoy ample time at leisure to stroll the expansive promenade decks, take in magnificent sunset-to-starlight views, peer through telescopes to observe the night sky (weather permitting), explore fascinating two-level astronomical galleries, and catch the inspiring Leonard Nimoy-narrated presentation, The Once and Future Griffith Observatory. For a deeper journey through the galaxy, the state-of-the-art Samuel Oschin Planetarium presents immersive live shows that will take you on a journey across the farthest reaches of space and deep into the building blocks of life (planetarium tickets cannot be pre-purchased but are available for an additional fee of $10 senior/$12 adult on a first-come, first-served basis upon arrival at the box office). We’ll top off this stellar evening with an included slice of Philippe’s famous rich chocolate cake to enjoy on the ride home!
To ensure a healthy and enjoyable travel experience for our guests, this tour will operate with additional health & wellness measures in place.
