The Amazing Los Angeles Race is designed to feel like a hybrid of a sightseeing tour, The Da Vinci Code and The Amazing Race. Participants form teams of two to eight people and receive their first clue at the starting line. Each solution leads to the next clue and fun experiences at top L.A. attractions, including Mann's Chinese Theatre, the Walk of Fame, the Hollywood Bowl, and Walt Disney Concert Hall, culminating in a finish-line awards ceremony.

The tour is of an exhibition that you can get into on your own for free, but for those who didn't live through the times of most of the TV shows shown (1960s, 1970s) it is informative to have the guide there to talk you through the historical significance. I'm not sure I would have paid the full regular price ($25, as listed from Goldstar) but Goldstar's discount price "free with additional processing fee = $6" tickets are a great choice.
Not the fault of the tour guide, but the thumbnail image of the scene from the TV show "The Tudors" is a little misleading - while you do get to see exactly three costumes from that show, you don't get to see those costumes in the screenshot image in the exhibit.
This event, like the Oscar costumes exhibit last year was really delightful and the docents provide great insight into the details and the work involved. Well worth the money.
The tour was much more interesting than I'd ever imagined it could be -- the tour director had done so much research and had so many interesting facts that it didn't matter whether or not you'd see the shows, it was still lots of fun and entertaining. Great way to spend the afternoon!
