Ansley- incredible guide - full day tour an lunch - Ansley was a great tour guide. Gravline was able to customize a tour for back to back tours with a nice lunch break. This was a long day and lots of driving, but well worth it.
My son and I did this tour ( age 21) and he enjoyed it also. He did not really know the dark history of LA. I had him do a bit of research before the tour.
As soon as we got back to our hotel he put on the 60 min Manson documentary and interview, so I know he was engaged.
Super fun guide with a great personality, not too overpowering and very informative :-)

Incredible Manson murder tour highly recommended - I did the Manson Murders tour with Ansley from Grave Line Tours and it was absolutely amazing. She was extremely thorough and explained everything in such clear, engaging detail. I thought I already knew a lot about the case, but she shared so many fascinating details and insights that were completely new to me.
She showed some really cool, significant spots and made the entire history come alive in a way that felt respectful, informative, and captivating. She truly knows the case inside and out and is passionate about what she does.
This was hands down one of the best tours I’ve done, and I can’t wait to come back next time to do the Black Dahlia murder tour. If you’re even remotely interested in true crime or Hollywood history, this tour is a must! 🖤

Amazing experience - Ansley was very knowledgeable and very professional. If you’re a local or visiting LA for the first time book a tour. The Manson tour was very interesting. I knew a good amount of the Manson family already but I learned more on this tour. Visiting the different locations was a fun time. I felt like it was an immersive experience with the limo and the audio used throughout the tour. I definitely recommend booking this . Can’t wait to book one for the Black Dahlia next.

Outstanding tour in LA offered by Ansly - We went on the Mansion Family Tour, our tour guide was Ansley. Ansley was so knowledgeable and was very personable. We had a total of four on our tour, Ansley held our attention the entire time and picked great music from the era that really made it feel like we were traveling back in time to the 1960s/70s. Ansley really did her homework she is a pro and has a positive vibe. Highly recommend this tour and guide.
