Los Angeles is a spectacular city with top-of-the-line sites and attractions. However, its illustrious achievements are often shadowed by significant setbacks.

Book the tour… right now! Do it. You’ll thank me. - 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!).

Fun facts and locations to go with them! - My mom and I went on this tour this past Tuesday (the 20th of May), and it was so fun! Our guide was Blaze and they were great! Very bubbly, full of fun facts and super informative. I've already been telling everyone I know about it so hopefully when they vacation, they too can join one of Blaze's tours. I know we definitely hope to try another one the next time we're in town. 😊

A wickedly good time! - We had a blast on our private tour. My cousins were visiting from the UK and are true crimes fans so I knew this was the tour for us. Beside getting all the gruesome details on the departed we got to see amazing houses in the Beverly Hills area and not having to drive myself was a bonus. Our guide Blaze was awesome and full of cool info. My cousins are still talking about it. Get a group together and do the private tour…. Who wants to be crammed in a tour bus when you can have a limo instead! 🪦💀

Blaze is the Place - We took the Death Becomes Her tour. Excellent 💯👍. From the moment we began our journey, we were filled with excitement and intrigue as to what might lay ahead. It was really cool riding in an authentic hearse limo from the 70’s to set the stage! Superb touch!!! The communication we received from the booking and our Fabulous tour guide, Blaze, prior to meeting in person, was great. Once we began our journey Blaze detailed each portion of the tour that corresponded with the digital description on the website that was provided to us via a QR Code. An excellent feature! Blaze has an excellent disposition. She’s warm, inviting, and entertaining, making the experience memorable. Her stories and knowledge make this tour a “must” do for those intrigued by the “Dark Side” of LA. Thank You, Blaze 😄💯🎉
