A must for all Black Dahlia fans - I am very interested in the Black Dahlia. read four books and counteless articles on the killing and the theories and suspects. I took the tour with Blaze, she was fantastic. I really liked this tour as they touched on the main suspects and showed you were the murders may have occured via several authors. We saw the Biltmore which was purported as the last place she was seen alive and of course the factual place where her body was found. Also saw several places where Elizabeth lived as she bounced around LA. Great tour - I would recommend and will take it again next time I am in town.

Blast to the mystery of Hollyweird tragic death in the underworld belly of Hollyweird!! - Wow, that was so much fun and also so well curated and well written and well spoken. Our tour guide blaze made the macabre and sad story have some context within the grade factory of Hollywood as well as the paradise of broken dreams. We felt safe we felt understood. We were able to contribute our thoughts to the journey and we so appreciated the intelligent and well performed a script and care given to us by our driver/Blaze.

Highly recommend for true crime lovers! - Such a fun, unique, and informative tour!!! Bought this for a friend who is into true crime as a birthday present. We had such a fun day! Blaze was our tour guide, and was incredible!!! They were so knowledgeable, funny, and engaging. Would definitely do it again, and am planning on joining their other themed tours as well. Well worth the price!

Chilling - My friend and I went to Hollywood to take the Black Dahlia murder tour on a Sunday when it’s the best time to go without lots of heavy traffic. The best highlights was when Blaze drove us to see the “Sowden house” and the clubs and hotels she was seen at, great story teller and made it feel like we were going back in that time era. Will return back for another tour

A memorable experience - Today my hubby and I went on the Black Dahlia tour in Hollywood with Graveline Tours, and it was an unforgettable experience. Our tour guide, Blaze, was incredibly informative, kind, and respectful to the memory of Elizabeth Short. She provided fascinating insights and details that really brought the story to life. Blaze's respectful approach to such a tragic story was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend this tour and Graveline Tours for anyone interested in Hollywood's darker history. Also it’s worth mentioning that Blaze is a very good driver, much better than myself lol 😂

Unique experience in Los Angeles! - I've always wanted to explore the Black Dahlia locations, and booked this on a trip to Los Angeles in May 2024. Blaze was the guide and was wonderful! Blaze had a great respect for the subject, and was not only informative and personable, Blaze was happy to engage in additional information about LA. I had a great time and I highly recommend this tour!
