We have participated in dozens of ghost tours all over the U.S. and Europe. This was an amazing…read moretour! In fact one of the best we have experienced! Romayne was a very informative and entertaining guide. Highly recommend this tour in Hollywood. We thought Eastern Europe and New Orleans had creepy ghost stories, wait until you hear and see what Hollywood has to offer!

Reading these reviews honestly makes me more upset at how terrible our tour was. It makes me wonder…read moreif some random person took us around because it was nowhere near this experience. 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.

Great tour! Dave made the experience memorable! Highly recommend the tour and the guide.read more

Arrived Early, Treated Rudely, Safety Issues, 30+ Minutes Late…read more We prepaid for the 11:00 AM open-air tour 4 days in advance and arrived at 10:40 AM with printed confirmation stating the bus leaves on time and all late arrivals are bumped to the next tour. Instead, we were repeatedly told to "come back closer to 11" and then that there was a "bus issue" and come back at 11:15 am. We wandered around in the cold. We checked in 3-4 times because we had lunch plans after the 2-hour tour. Staff claimed another group was late (which turned out NOT to be true). Meanwhile, employees were trying to recruit more passengers. Only after we said we were canceling 30 minutes late, did they send us to board a bus. The driver was nice, but one seat behind him had no working seat belt. Three blocks after leaving, the bus was called back to pick up a group of 8 even though there were only 7 seat belts available. We were pressured to give up our safe seats and wait for another bus. We refused to exit. We refused to sit without a seat belt. The older male staff member was aggressive and extremely rude. The tour left over 30 minutes late. Disorganized, misleading, RUDE older man and unsafe. Horrible experience for the start of our vacation. Would NOT recommend.

I had SO MUCH FUN tonight on the DTLA Mystery Ghost Tour with Chris as our guide!…read more Walking through the streets of downtown LA while learning details about the Black Dahlia, Elisa Lam, Vaughn Greenwood, John Párkinson and others was mesmerizing! We stopped at the Clifton amd before we entered heard all about Clifford Clinton, his efforts to clean up LA, his wife, his mistress, his attempted suicide and finally how all the of the aforementioned managed to find a way to co exist until his death. Chris was well spoken, articulate, funny and very personable. The others on the tour were cool people too- I met two women from my hometown of Boston and ended getting dinner with another couple of people after the walk. The entire experience lasted a little over three hours with bathroom breaks and a martini from the Clifton thrown in the mix. I'm so glad I chose these guys vs a commercialized van on a people safari in LA. I really wanted to experience DTLA from the perspective of a truth seeker, mesmerized by its architecture, history and seedy history. I could feel the energy in some of these places- magical. Highly recommended 5 stars isn't enough! Thanks Chris, you were awesome!

We are all from southern Ca but decided it would be fun to play in our own back yard and it was the best! We leaned things about LA that we did not know! We got to ride the metro the bus and we were gonna ride a bike but we just ran out of time because we took so many pictures and stayed at the farmers market longer than we should have but that was ok because we were really enjoying ourselves. We also went to the LaBrea Tar Pits which was nice because I had never been there! All in All A very good time was held by everyone. We will definitely be signing up for more tours and hopefully Jennie will be out tour guide.

Born and raised in LA I thought I have seen it all. My family and I decided to do this little…read moreadventure to see our city from a different perspective. Well I'm so glad we did. So many things I have never noticed before. Things that I passed by hundreds of times and never paid attention to. Jenny was our tour guide and I could have not asked for a Better guide. I have gone on these types of tours in different cities and always felt very rushed. Jenny was awesome about time she didn't push us to make every location at a specific time. We did the entire tour except for the bike portion and our group was okay with not going that. So we ended up grabbing some dinner and drinks! I will be booking the different tours in the future!

This branch of free tours by foot has only been around for 7 months! Crazy to think that in a city…read morelike Los Angeles there was not one sooner. I think LA is a city where you can walk everywhere is not bike. So I feel really great about leaving this review for them. If you never done a 'free tours by foot' let me tell you they are located in different cities around the world. You go online, find your city and sign up for the tour that best interest you. At the end of the tour you are free to tip the guide whatever you thought the tour was worth, could be $10, $200 or even free! Its whatever you can afford type of thing. The tours are lead by locals that are experts in this town and obviously love the city they live in or they would not be doing this. The length of the tours depends on the city you are visiting but typically lasts about an hour or so and the walking distance is not that long plus they take lots of breaks (in the shade too). That being said let me review the free tours by foot Los Angeles. I went online and signed up and got a confirmation email to meet at the designated location on Friday. I arrived and had no trouble find my tour guide. We waited for the rest of our group to arrive and he introduced himself and went around asking the group where everyone was visiting from. He started with some basic 'housekeeping' rules and then proceded to start with a history intro on how the city got on the map. It really was more historical but that's good because that built up for the rest of the tour. Our guide would finish talking about a building and then would tell us where the next destination would be. He encouraged people to ask him questions and it was clear he was very excited to share his knowledge of the city with others. People asked him all kinds of questions and Emir always had a great answer. He had a tablet that had short movie clips or had a slideshow of some of the buildings we were looking at or famous people that helped shaped the city to what it is now. I never have seen that on a walking tour before. At the end of the tour he thanked us and mentioned he would stick around for about 15 minutes to answer any questions. He also mentioned the tour available tomorrow of downtown LA. He and his wife are the 'founders' of this city and are also tour guides (so cute). They lived in Chicago but then moved to California and then moved back to Chicago but ultimately missed California too much and decided to move back to Los Angeles. For a chapter that has only been around for 7 months, I say the tour was well put together. I went on a Hollywood walking tour and saw things like capital records building, the walk of fame, Egyptian theatre, famous restaurants, the Chinese theatre, talked about the Hollywood sign, talked about famous magicians and much more. I recommend taking a free tours by foot tour if you get a chance. These are really good ways to know a new city from a locals perspective.

That's Hollywood Forever: equal parts mausoleum and block party, where the dead have better entertainment options than the living. Over here, you've got Johnny Ramone rocking out for eternity with his guitar statue. Across the way, Chris Cornell is proof that grunge never dies--it just relocates. Swing a left and you'll stumble into the Jewish mausoleum, the oldest in L.A., with stained glass that makes you wonder if heaven has a budget for art direction. It's not just famous names--my own family's here, three generations deep. My dad, my grandparents. They get front-row seats to Día de Los Muertos festivals, Lana Del Rey concerts, and late-night screenings projected against marble crypts. Imagine being buried in Cleveland and realizing your afterlife entertainment is a high school marching band rehearsal. Yeah--hard pass. Hollywood Forever is absurd, glorious, and totally Los Angeles. Where else can you walk among palm trees, koi ponds, and a peacock or two, all while being reminded that death here has better lighting than most people's weddings?
