From Hollywood & Highland Center

The Hollywood Sign (formerly the Hollywoodland Sign) is an American landmark and cultural icon overlooking Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. It is situated on Mount Lee, in the Hollywood Hills area of the Santa Monica Mountains.

"HOLLYWOOD" is spelled out in 45-foot (13.7 m)-tall white capital letters and is 352 feet (107.3 m) long. The sign was originally created in 1923 as an advertisement for a local real estate development, but due to increasing recognition, the sign was left up. The sign has been a frequent target of pranks and vandalism across the decades, but it has since undergone restoration, including the installation of a security system to deter vandalism. The sign is protected and promoted by The Hollywood Sign Trust, a nonprofit organization, while its site and the surrounding land are part of Griffith Park.

The sign makes frequent appearances in popular culture, particularly in establishing shots for films and television programs set in or around Hollywood. Signs of similar style, but spelling different words, are frequently seen as parodies. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce holds trademark rights to the Hollywood Sign.

This was good even though we had a bit of a problem at the beginning where the bus left without us. We were soon found another tour to tag on to. We had Roger on the Hollywood homes and he was fun and informative. The Grand City tour was a bit long and getting back to Santa Monica took hours time. Quite a good way to see lots of LA though.

The day of the tour started off really bad. All the paper work we had received from Viator stated that we would be picked up at our hotel at 9:30 AM the the tour company showed up at 8:45 AM and of course we were not down their waiting and they left without us. After four phone calls and being bounced around between different agents we were told to bad you missed the bus we told Viator your pick up time was 8:45 so you are out your money unless we wanted to go the next day. I explained we were not in town the next day. They finally said we could go on a different if we could get to their downtown office in a hour, It was not the tour we wanted but it was better than losing our money I would never recommend the tour company but most of all I never recommend Viator as you are dealing with a second party and the actual tour company will place all problems back to the second party and it then becomes the big blame game and you are left in the middle holding the bag.
