Seeing Los Angeles in a Charter Bus

For charter bus visitors to Southern California, a visit to the area usually means Los Angeles and a stop in Hollywood to see Grauman's Chinese Theater as well as a stroll along Hollywood Boulevard to see the stars on the Walk of Fame. Charter bus visitors with children will inevitably end up at Disneyland in Anaheim. Although these well-known tourist destinations are must-sees, there are many other attractions in Southern California that the first-time visitor or frequent traveler shouldn't miss, and a great way of getting in and around Los Angeles is with a bus, charter bus, coach bus, party bus, mini bus, passenger coach or school bus chartered from Bus Charter Los Angeles.

Los Angeles has long identified itself with the movie industry, and charter bus visitors should stop by Universal Studios in Hollywood, which calls itself "The Entertainment Capital of L.A." The 415-acre complex incorporates a shopping area, theme park and studio tour. The restored back lot reopened in May 2010 after a major fire in 2008 destroyed many of the original film and television sets. The venue is so large that it has its own zip code. Film theaters and a major concert venue are also part of complex of attractions. All of the attractions are open year-round and tickets are available at the venues.

Ontario is located within the Cucamonga Valley, a short charter bus ride away from Los Angeles, in one of California's oldest wine regions. While most small wineries and vineyards have disappeared since the region's wine business exploded more than 200 years ago, a few tasting rooms, vineyards and wine shops persist. One of the most widely known tasting rooms is the San Antonio Winery's Ontario Wine and Gift Shop. This is a satellite shop of the historical San Antonio Winery in Los Angeles. The Ontario wine shop offers three complimentary tastings per visit. Charter bus visitors to LA can purchase an artisan tasting and the wine shop also offers classes and seminars throughout the year. Contact the Ontario wine shop directly to find out what subjects, if any, will be offered during your charter bus visit.

Catalina, formally known as Santa Catalina Island, is an island off the coast of California located 22 miles south-southwest of downtown Los Angeles, and a great way to spend the day in the sun for charter bus visitors. Officially part of Los Angeles County, the island is accessed by hour-long boat shuttles from San Pedro, Marina del Rey, Long Beach, Newport Beach and Dana Point, or by a 15-minute helicopter ride from Long Beach and San Pedro. The island has a rich history and lore beginning with the earliest residents nearly 7,000 years ago. Arguably the most famous residents were Western author Zane Gray and William Wrigley, Jr., of chewing gum fame, who constructed homes on the island. Tourist sites for charter bus visitors include both famous houses, the island casino structure, Green Pleasure Pier, first constructed in 1894 by the Banning Brothers, Los Angeles business promoters, and rebuilt after a storm in 1914; shopping, and nature viewing.
