Very Knowledgeable Guide - The instructions for the meeting place were good and it was easy to find. The tour is in a 1980s stretch limo. On our tour it was just our guide Blaze and two of us. This enabled us to have some more in-depth conversations with Blaze who is very knowledgeable. The tour sights included the Whiskey Au Go Go and a drive through Beverly Hills and out to Cielo Drive. We could not go up the drive and we did not stop which is something I would have liked to do. Instead we drove up the other side of the canyon to Doris Duke’s former property and looked across the canyon from there.
Then we had a long drive out to Chatsworth and what is left of Spahn’s Movie Ranch, which is nothing, it is completely overgrown. Blaze pointed out the location of the cave and George Spahn’s house and the main entrance. Again, I would have liked to have stopped for a look around. We then drove all the way back to Los Feliz and to Waverley Drive where the La Bianca’s lived. Blaze gave us the Manson Family story the whole way and we had discussions about various topics and theories. Great tour, only criticism is that I would have liked to have stopped more often to get out and have a look.

5 STARS! If your interested in this history you will enjoy! - This tour BLEW MY MIND! I had done another tour with Grave Line Tours and was so impressed that I wanted to try the Manson Tour. The tour guide is a great story teller and they are respectful to the victims of these crimes. I am a history fan more than a true crime fan and came on the tour to learn more about the history of the Manson family. I was frightened and educated at the same time. Very good quality and great service for the entire process. 5 STARS!
