Great Tour!
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.

Terrific Addition to our Weekend in LA
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!

Loved it. Just need to update the itinerary information
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.
