5 star tour. Would definitely recommend. - the tour was the best. Adam was the best. you see so much on this tour. Both locations where the gruesome murders took place. you see the El Cyote where Jay Sebring, Abigail Folger, and Wojciech Frykowski ate their last meal. the place where the gun of the Tate murders was found. A trip to Spahn movie ranch and much much more. I would defintiely recommend this tour. I have taen this tour several times before and it never gets old. I learn something new every time I take the tour. on the tour you get to see many different neighborhoods of Los Angeles and get to really apprecaite the different neighborhoods and differnt socioeconomic status between and among the neighborhoods. Great tour!!!

Manson Family Fun! - We just finished the Manson tour and could not be MORE pleased! Blaze did an absolutely amazing tour guide job, using a very interesting and well crafted script, plus Blaze gave so much emotion and zest to it all. The car was clean and smelled good, also very comfortable. While the entire tour covered a large area, we were entertained the whole time. Great historical true crime stops, lots of good information, and a fun sound track too! I would recommend this this tour HIGHLY for anyone interested in true crime, the Manson family, Los Angeles/SoCal dark history, and really anyone looking for something different than the “star homes tours” and the other tired Hollywood tour options.

Such a great tour! Highly recommend! - This tour was absolutely fantastic, and our guide, Blaze, made it an unforgettable experience. Her knowledge of the Manson family history was unparalleled. She brought the story to life with her incredible attention to detail, weaving together the events, locations, and historical context in a way that kept us completely captivated throughout the tour. Her ability to paint a vivid picture of the Manson family’s impact on history was both chilling and fascinating. She shared stories and insights that went far beyond what you’d find in a book or documentary, making the experience feel truly unique. If you have any interest in the history of the Manson family, this is the tour for you—and Blaze is the perfect guide to lead it. Highly recommend!

Great True Crime Experience - Second time we’ve toured with Grave Line, and it was great. Charles Manson’s favorite hot dog stand was a highlight. Blaze was a wonderful guide.

Must do Manson Tour! - This was an amazing tour!!! If you are obsessed with Manson or serial killers or cults like I am, you will love it. It's a big chuck of time and a big chuck of change but very much worth it. Lots of opportunities for photos, got to see all the major sites. The guide Blaze was really knowledgeable and a great, fun, friendly guide. Funeral limo was very comfy as well. Highly recommend this tour.

Awesome and unique tour! - Blaze made the tour a magical experience! She is so versed on the history and shared intricate details, as well as audio recordings that were a bonus! Her British accent and classic Cadillac adds to the experience! We were even able to stop for a hotdog at The Munch Box. My sister, mom, and I will be looking into her other tours! Thank you Blaze!
