What To Expect

North Spring Street & Ord Street (Pass By)

This intersection was the shooting location for the tragic climax of Roman Polanski’s Chinatown, one of the greatest films noir ever made. A staple of Hollywood cinema since the 1940s, film noir blended the cynical, hardboiled American crime fiction of the 20s and 30s with striking, moody cinematography inspired by German Expressionist filmmaking. Film noir stories often follow highly flawed protagonists who find themselves embroiled in conspiracies and complicated investigations far beyond their reach.Note: This 33+mile-long tour covers the essentials of LA Filming in 2-3 hoursBuy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.

Los Angeles Union Station

Look on your right is Union Station, the busiest train hub in the entire western United States. It has been featured in dozens of films and television shows over the decades, but only occasionally as an actual train station!
