About Professional Tour Guide
I am a Hollywood historian and creator of the Old Hollywood Walking Tour, dedicated to preserving the stories and style of Classic Hollywood. My passion began with reading biographies of film stars and grew as I explored Hollywood’s rich history. I’ve appeared as a historian on PBS's Iconic America, consulted on Hollywood research projects, and led tours for corporate and non-profit clients. I also founded the Old Hollywood Back Room, offering events, presentations, and a community for classic Hollywood fans.

A Hollywood Looking Star Guide
April is full of interesting historic information and points out many buildings that are partially hidden or have new facades that you would easy walk by without knowing. April looks like a movie star and dresses in vintage fashion for her tours.
Excellent Tour!!!
Such great information! April is a wonderful presenter and very enjoyable to listen to! I spent a lot of time in LA/Hollywood in the late 1980’s/1990’s, have always loved the history and the area and I miss it tremendously! Living in Michigan, I love connecting with this group on these online presentations! Keep up the great work April!

April Embodies Classic Hollywood
The Beverly Hills Hotel & Classic Hollywood Tour with Appril Clemmer was absolutely fantastic! Appril has such a gift for bringing Hollywood’s golden age to life. From the glamorous legends who walked the halls of the Beverly Hills Hotel to the behind-the-scenes stories of classic Hollywood, every stop was filled with fascinating details and insider knowledge you simply won’t find in a guidebook.
Her storytelling is engaging, fun, and sprinkled with those “wow, I never knew that!” moments. What I especially appreciated is how she connected the history to the people and culture of the time, making it feel alive and relevant today. You can tell she’s deeply passionate about sharing these stories, and it makes the experience both educational and highly entertaining.
If you love Old Hollywood, history, or just want to experience Beverly Hills through a new lens, I can’t recommend this tour enough. Appril truly makes you feel like you’re stepping back into Hollywood’s golden era.
Excellent tour!
I was on Ms Clemmer’s tour in 2023. She is a true fan and expert of Hollywood history. Our tour (15 people) walked slowly down Hollywood Blvd where every nook and cranny tells a story! There was a “rest stop” halfway through our walk, so no worries about comfort. Highly recommend April’s tours!
