    We have done 2 tours with them: black Dahlia and the Manson murders with 2 different guides. They were both super interesting and entertaining! We are locals to SoCal so it was great to learn a little more of cases we have heard before. You meet in Hollywood and go in the hearse limo which is really comfortable. Everyone is very knowledgeable and friendly. We can't wait to do another one!

    THIS. WAS. EPIC!!!! If you like true crime (and maybe even if you don't!) you absolutely cannot go wrong with Grave Line Tours! I had the most fun I've had in ages as Blaze drove us all over town giving us a riveting account of the life, legend, and death of LA's infamous Black Dahlia. Blaze, in her British accent, wordsmith delivery, and witty humor made the trip all it was. An air freshener of Michael Meyers swung in devilish delicious detail from the rear view mirror of the funeral limo. A ghoulish soundtrack ripe with - among others - the theme from Twin Peaks, was a nice intermission as we hopped on the freeway for a quick spell. (Chef's kiss!) We loved it so much, I am organizing an adventure trip for their "Manson Family Murders" Tour. I have organized 15 events for my Kooky Adventure MeetUp group, and this is my top fave so far (for this Adventure I had a competition for the best "Tourist Outfit" and had Blaze be the judge). Do this now. A 3hr tour you won't forget. It will haunt you in the best way possible! PS) The owner, Adam, was prompt with email response and a pleasure to communicate with.

    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.

    This was such an amazing tour! I went on the Black Dahlia tour & learned way more than I anticipated considering I've always heard details about the case. I love that it also shared some old LA (dark) and interesting history. If you're a fan of LA history & enjoy learning about true crime with lots of details, this is for you! Our tour guide, Ansley, was amazing!

    I must admit, going into this tour I thought I knew everything I needed to know about Charles Manson and Family. Boy was I wrong. First off, parking was super easy and locating our tour guide once we arrived was easy as well. Our guide, Adam, introduced himself and talked to each one of us individually. He asked questions to get to know us, and by the end of the tour it felt like we had been friends for years. Throughout the tour, we stopped at several spots, and at the risk of giving too much away I won't go into more detail about that. Adam was very knowledgeable about the subject. There was a story that was told throughout the drive, and each story led to a different stop. We were given access to photos on our phones to follow along with as well. The tour is long, it was about 3 1/2 hours long with a pretty good break in between. I feel like even though it was a 3 1/2 hour tour there wasn't a minute not full of information. Adam is a great narrator and a great storyteller and awesome at engaging with us. You can tell Adam is very passionate about what he does and this tour did not seem exploitative, which was something I was worried about. It was very much informative. We will be booking more tours. And we will request Adam, even though I know he usually handles the "business side" of things. The tour began at 10 AM and we had enough time afterwards to visit a few more places in Hollywood as well as grab an early dinner and be home at a reasonable time. For reference , we live about 1.5 hours away. Thanks Grave Line Tours!

    Adam-- guide, tour limo, my teens-- the new biggest fans.

    Stop what you're doing and BOOK. THE. TOUR. Hands down, one of the most impressive, powerful, and well-done experiences we've ever had. Adam doesn't just guide a tour--he leads a movement. The entire experience was so seamless, thorough, and thoughtfully curated. He made it all feel easy, natural, and totally engaging--from the first step to the final stop. Even when it came the traffic nightmare--Hollywood Blvd shut down due to a surprise popup street celebration (because of course it did, who doesn't have random unscheduled parades but ghosts and true crime can't wait!). Adam handled it like a total pro. He calmly walked us through our options, offered us choices with grace, and kept everything light and easy. Honestly, you'd never even know it wasn't part of the plan! I knew I didn't want to miss a second of any tour he was leading, and I'm so glad we stayed--because it was PERFECT. Best advice? Trust him. Go with the flow. Take it all in. We learned SO much--not just about the case, but the era, the culture, the people involved. And it wasn't just listening--we got to engage, ask questions, and have real dialogue. Adam's knowledge is mind-blowing, and the way he shares it is a total masterclass. He's a storyteller, a historian, an advocate, and somehow your new best friend all rolled into one. But what sets this tour apart? The deep connection Adam has with the victim--Elizabeth. He doesn't sensationalize her story or focus on the gore. He centers her. Who she was while she was alive. Her humanity, her dreams, her voice. The crime doesn't define her--he makes sure of that. Adam and Elizabeth have a bond that is palpable. She would be so proud of what he's doing for her and her legacy. You can feel her presence through his passion, and you just know she's walking right alongside him. Thanks for such an incredible tour and experience--we're still raving about it! Adam, you are truly special. Keep doing what you're doing--you're a bright, rare light in a sometimes cruel world, and you make a real difference in the lives of everyone you meet. Don't stop advocating for Elizabeth--she's speaking through you. You have an incredible gift, and you are an absolute treasure. I'm so grateful God crossed our paths. You are one of the amazing humans out there. P.S. Also, if you're doing this with kids or teens-- Adam is amazing with his storytelling, I feel this your would be fine for anyone who enjoys the subject line, can listen, and give the case attention. My crime loving teens loved it as much as I did, I felt it was completely appropriate. He also has the tour set up in a way that allows you to see the imagines only if you want (of course, we did, but to each their own, it isn't in your face or forced, nor is it focused on!).

    My wife and I had a blast! Such a unique tour. Blaze was awesome as a guide, as we traveled to the darker places of Hollywood. Highly recommend!

    Amazing tour! Blaze was an amazing guide! Super thorough information about the Manson Family, took us to all the key spots, had a chance to take pics and ask questions - all in the comfort of a late model limo! Would definitely recommend to those wanting to learn more (or get a complete tour of LA), our entire group had a lot of fun! Note, accommodating of all sizes, no walking involved, great communication and flexibility when I needed to reschedule and then again the day prior for instructions to meet up. Excellent customer service!

    Linda S.

    Blaze is an amazing historian and entertainer. Our group really enjoyed the Black Dahlia tour of Hollywood and Los Angeles. The limo is comfortable and Blaze is an excellent driver. A fun way to spend a day in the City of Angels.

    Their license plate, you only die once, is super fitting.

We had Jacky and she was...terrible. She essentially told us no stories whatsoever. She'd forget details of every story, flat out said she had a script she was ignoring and "winging it" but then proceeded to not remember or say anything of interest. Most stories climax was "and well...you know...anyway." I can't tell you a single thing about any location. She said there were pictures of ghosts but she "couldn't find them". Another member of the group said they paid extra for EVPs that she "forgot" to bring. Absolutely no one in the tour enjoyed the experience and a few of us started telling our own stories just so we didn't feel like we'd completely wasted our time. My group took a couple other people from the tour with us at the end to the Roosevelt, since it was listed as a stop we never went to, and told them stories ourselves and saved the night post tour. Jacky is a lovely girl but the worst tour guide I've ever experienced. It wasn't expensive but I'm angry I spent even $1 on this. I wish we had the experience everyone else seems to have gotten.

It takes research and preparation and it's worth it! My husband loves movies like "The Long Goodbye" and "Dead Again", LA based thrillers, so that's how we discovered High Tower Elevator because they used it as a location for these cool films. So we looked into it. More trivia, it is mentioned by Michael Connelly in his novels ("Echo Park) and he used to live here, cool, tight? Hard to find parking in the area, but since we got tickets for the Bowl and we were parked in their lot, we figured we should take advantage and walk to it. Just a few minutes walk, from Highland, we took a right on Camrose and another right on High Tower Drive and here you are! If you want to see it closer, take a right on Los Altos (stairs) and another right on Broadview Terrace and you will be able to see the building and the elevator closer up! A quick hike up the stairs, nothing really. At 2200 Broadview Terrace, there's a Frank Lloyd Wright House, the Otto Bolman House. Lots of hidden gems, art deco beauties around, great views of the city and of the hills around. There is even a bench to sit, relax, admire the beauty around. Fun excursion in our own city where there's always something new to discover, something unique and original. The elevator is for residents only, but it was fun to see it. The tower is inspired by Italian campaniles, built in the 20's. Great slice of LA history, always great to dig deep and find great places off the beaten path!

Still, I have the feeling that this tour would have been amazing whatever day I took it. You board the mini-bus at Hollywood and Highland and from there it's a four-hour drive around Hollywood, West Hollywood, Brentwood and West LA to see nearly every school, house, apartment and hang-out that the great MM populated. I don't want to ruin any surprises, so I won't go into detail (though, yes, you do get to see the house where she lived with Joe DiMaggio and where she died all alone) but suffice it to say that you will come out of this tour with a deep understanding of the mega-talented professional and struggling woman that Norma Jean Baker was. The guide Elisa knows her stuff, and I am still shocked that she was able to fill four hours with history and anecdotes and photos and videos played on the bus's TV monitors. There was never a silent moment, and I was further shocked when Elisa told me after the tour about all the stuff she'd had to cut out! The other thing that will happen to you is that you'll never look at Hollywood -- the physical place or the industry town -- the same way, as Elisa points out houses and buildings that long-time Angelenos have passed a thousand times, never knowing the role they played in MM's life. And the way Elisa tells stories and anecdotes in each location makes you picture the 8, 15 or 36 year old Marilyn actually entering and exiting each spot. I should also mention that this is the first bus tour I've ever taken of Hollywood, and I couldn't have picked a better one. I can't wait to try the Doors tour!
