Amazing! Definitely a great experience for everyone, whether you’re a tourist or a local - you will learn so much!! - Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and kept every bit of our attention. The stories were interesting and he made sure to add plenty of humor keeping the experience light despite the dark content.

Great for locals and visitors alike - Born and raised Angelina and saw some views and heard some stories. I never knew. It was a fun night with a very informative guide. The stories were varied and interesting with the exception of an occasional fly by police helicopter or gunning engine on the street, heard everything and loved it.

Take a Walk with Chris - I met up with Chris and a small group on a chilly night to walk the Sunset Strip and learn about its sordid history. I knew the gist of many of the stories, which focused on serial killers, mafia lore, celebrity residences, overdose deaths, and some paranormal encounters. But what made the tour great - and Chris a great tour guide - was his "extra" knowledge provided between the stories. He was able to respond in-depth to questions, provide local recommendations, and was also knowledgeable in architecture. This was a well-rounded and entertaining experience, and, like the best tours of this sort, benefited from the guide's distinct sense of humor, in addition to his expertise.

Chris is an awesome storyteller! - Chris is fantastic! We have done multiple tours around the world and the experience depends almost entirely on the guide. Chris was "best of the best". He is a fantastic storyteller and weaves history, culture and trivia into his tales. Personally, I'm not a true crime fan, but my daughter is and we surprised her for her birthday. She loved it! She is mature so could handle the graphic nature of the tour (Chris might have toned down a few parts), but this is certainly not a kid-friendly tour (but that should be pretty obvious). Highly recommended! (Oh, I also appreciate that Chris did not pull the manipulative move that many tour guides do now where they ask how the tour was and ask you to write a review while hovering over you. It appears that all the stellar reviews are—like this one—genuine).

Absolutely jam-packed with fantastic stories - Chris couldn’t be more suited to the job of tour guide. His tours are packed to the brim with information from beginning to end and have clearly been put together with great time and effort. Sunset Blvd is steeped in a fascinating history and the whole thing was super interesting. I would go so far as to say this was probably the best walking tour I’ve been on, and I’d seek out more from Chris in the future knowing how high the bar was.

70th birrhday vacation - Chris was a great tour guide. You can tell he really enjoys his work. He has a vast knowledge of the area. The walking pace was good, for my aging mother, not to many stairs. Chris also stayed a couple extra minutes with us until our Uber arrived since we weren't local.

Murderous Walk down Memory Lane - Chris was fantastic. A wealth of stories revolving around Deaths and murders on the Sunset Strip. Not scary or Spooky,, more vivid and factual tying in the history of the buildings and landmarks. I've lived here for 40 years, and only knew a handful of the tales he told. I didn't know about all the mob ties, thought those were all Vegas stories. We all want to go back to one of the Hotels or the Comedy Store and see if we can Find ourselves a Ghost !

Excellent tour - Chris was an excellent guide, he’s a walking encyclopedia of knowledge about the Sunset strip and its history. The tour could have easily been twice as long and still not scratched the surface of his stories and history. Strongly recommend!

The Sunset Strip Like You’ve Never Seen It - The Strip will never look the same again after Chris’s spine-tingling storytelling. Equal parts eerie and fascinating, he makes history come alive with energy, detail, and just the right touch of humor. It’s not your average ghost tour — he resurrects the Sunset Strip’s darkest secrets with razor-sharp facts. Chris is extremely knowledgeable and clearly does his research, even interviewing prison guards, hotel staff, and police officers connected to the very crimes he covers. The result is history, mystery, and entertainment rolled into one unforgettable night. Every story felt cinematic, weaving true crime, ghosts, and scandals into a walk that left the Strip buzzing in my mind long after.
