Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in the Hollywood Hills? LA’s exclusive celebrity district is probably out of your budget, but the next best thing (sweating profusely on a bus next to thirty other star-hunters while you gawp at mansions whizzing by) is only £25!

That is, if you can get yourself to California in the first place. Cheap flights – from as little as £250 return from Cheap Flights.co.uk – to LA are available, and once there, you can embark on your stargazing tour. The Sightseeing World star homes tour is a three-hour, fully narrated trip around 40 magnificent homes. Moving through Bel-Air and Beverly Hills, you will see the fabulous residences of stars such as Madonna, Nicolas Cage, Ronald Reagan and Sean Connery. Vintage stars of yesteryear are also represented, with visits to the former mansions of Humphrey Bogart, Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe and Lucille Ball.

After ascending the heights of the Hollywood hills, to take in a sprawling vista of villas and huge swimming pools, you will take a trip down the legendary Sunset Strip, as well as visiting many famous locales such as the Beverly Hills Hotel, House of Blues, The Whiskey A Go-Go and The Chateau Marmont. The Strip’s Rainbow Bar & Grill is where Marilyn Monroe met Joe Dimaggio, and it’s a good place to hang-out and spot celebrities.

The last stop on the tour will be the upmarket Rodeo Drive, where you can shop where the stars shop, at famous stores such as Gucci and Bijan. Make sure you keep your camera ready at all times; you never know who you might see! The homes of the stars tour costs $43.

American holidays are also available from Travelzoo. If you are looking to buy a house and think Bel-Air is a little out of your budget, Fish4.co.uk have a range of more affordable UK property in their database.
