Itinerary
Visit the home of the Oscars and other live shows like American Idol; the Dolby Theatre! See where the celebrities walk the red carpet and learn all about the secrets of this venue.
Right across from our meeting point is the historic El Capitan Theatre. Now owned by Disney, it is an incredible place to see a movie.
From the Ovation Shopping Center in Hollywood, the tour will get a great view of the Hollywood Sign. This is the perfect opportunity for a picture and to hear all about the tragic story of Peg Entwistle... Who knew one of the world's most famous tourist attractions had such a dark history?
The world-famous Chinese Theatre is where celebrities put their handprints and footprints in cement. However, impressions of a more supernatural nature still linger in amongst the prints...
As you take the tour, you'll pass over the Walk of Fame. Over 2,800 stars with the names of industry icons line Hollywood Boulevard. Perfect for pictures and your guide can help you find your favorite celebrity.
The tour will take a quick detour to discuss the one and only Magic Castle! The Magic Castle is an exclusive club for magicians, but it might not just be the performers playing tricks at the Magic Castle. Numerous ghosts are said to haunt the halls here, learn all about them from a guide that has actually been inside!
We will take a brief trip into the neighborhood of Hollywood Heights. This romantic neighborhood, where Marilyn Monroe once lived, is just steps away from the Walk of Fame. This is where you will uncover the sinister connections to Charles Manson and more recent Hollywood crimes.
Recently renovated by Netflix, the Egyptian Theatre is a amazing historic spot to see a movie. But be careful, specters may haunt the halls and the theatre owner himself stops by to catch a film sometimes!
True Crime aficionados wont want to miss Boardners. This historic speakeasy in Hollywood has hosted tourists, movie stars, mobsters, and one of the most famous murder victims in American history. This is where you'll learn all about the infamous Black Dahlia.

We had a great time! Chris was a very interesting and informative tour guy. He did an amazing job showing us around the city and telling us spooky stories. We can’t wait to do more tours.
Take this tour! My group has taken tours all over the world, and we know a good tour guide when we have one. Chris is knowledgeable, flexible, fun, considerate (stopping in the shade for a quick story vs. standing in the sun) -- we had a great time. Highly recommend.
Thank you for taking to Hollywood Horrors and Haunts tour!
Do be cautious of the starting location. I GPSd to what the location says for starting point until our tour guide gave us a text 10 minutes prior. When you gps there go to the Ben & Jerry's. Good chance he'll be there waiting. Overall fun tour, doesn't actually end where it began. It ended at a bar. I believe it was the last location in the itinerary. Not a lot of stairs can at least use an elevator for going up to the Hollywood sign viewing location. My husband had twisted his ankle and I don't tend to do well with a lot of stairs but it was manageable. It was a great tour overall just the kind of spooky/historical stuff we tend to like. Just wanted to make sure future people know the details.
Thank you so much for leaving a kind review, evennwith the issue finding the meeting point! I will see what I can do to make sure the description is as accurate as possible!
OMG best time in L A! Chris is a great tour guide, he is very knowledgeable, so nice and super funny. He took us to many places and told us all the stories with such spark on his eyes, thank you so much Chris. If you have a chance definitely take the tour it's awesome and worth every penny!
Thank you for taking the tour!!!
This tour was amazing! Our tour guide, Chris was incredible-he is a wealth of knowledge and delivers information with a ton of charm & charisma. I was traveling with my parents who are in their 70s & my 13 year old daughter and we all loved the tour. We learned a ton and had so much fun. Book this tour-you will love it. Thanks Chris!
Our guide Chris was very informative and approachable! Our tour was very well planned out and not too long for the average walk. We really enjoyed it! He addressed all our questions and great attention. Thanks again, Chris!!!
Chris was absolutely amazing! He had so many historical details about the sites we went to and stuck to the actual facts and documented history. He had a true knack for storytelling and was engaging and fun! I can’t wait to do another tour with him! This is a MUST even if you have lived in LA your entire life!
