True Crime Done Right – An Unforgettable Tour! - I had a fantastic experience with Grave Line Manson Tours in LA. The tour was incredibly knowledgeable and well-researched, providing tons of fascinating insights into the Manson case and the history surrounding it. Our host, Blaze, was awesome—friendly, engaging, and clearly passionate about the subject matter. The pace of the tour was just right—not rushed, but never dragging either. And the limo was amazing—super comfortable and added a really unique vibe to the experience. If you’re into true crime or just want a one-of-a-kind LA experience, I highly recommend this tour!

Didn’t want it to end - The best tour we have ever taken! 🏆 The meetup site was easy to park/walk to. Blaze, the tour guide, is fascinating! She is friendly, knowledgeable, interesting, a talented storyteller, funny, and better than you could ever imagine ✨The OG Fleetwood is like driving around Hollywood on your couch 💖 She gave us fun, music, truth, sites, evidence, photo ops, excitement, chili dogs, guts and gore 🥰 We shared our experience with 3 amazing Aussies, which made it even more fun to hear their takes on Cali history. We plan to take a new trip with this company every time we are in LA 🎉👓🔎📸

Bloody Awesome - Absolutely Bloody Awesome, if you are looking for something that sinks your teeth into the dark times of Hollywood then this is your tour! Blaze, our tour guide was sooooo much fun and really knew every back twisted story. Highly recommend, would rate more than 5 stars if was possible. They are a new tour business and have really found a niche market!

A Must-Do for True Crime and History Enthusiasts - Grave Line Tours was an unforgettable experience! Adam, the owner and guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about sharing LA’s darker history. He made the tour both informative and engaging while being respectful to the victims’ stories. We took the Manson Family Murders tour, and it was fascinating to visit the real locations and learn the history behind them. Adam made us feel completely comfortable throughout the tour, and his storytelling kept us captivated the entire time. I can’t wait to try more of their tours—highly recommend!

Manson Family Tour with Blaze= Perfection - My daughter and I took the Manson Family Murder Tour with Blaze as our tour guide and we loved every minute of it. Blaze is knowledgeable and interesting, sharing fascinating facts and information about Charles Manson and the family. Blaze kept us entertained every moment of the tour. We were sorry when it ended and we had to say goodbye! Blaze stopped at many of the spots that Manson frequented and we really felt like we had first hand knowledge of the madman that he was. My daughter and I talked for hours after the tour about Manson and all we learned. Blaze can multi task like a pro and is the best tour guide we have ever had. We hope to have another tour with Blaze in the future! Simply perfection. We wish we could do it all over again!
