Highlights
- Sunset Boulevard - We begin the tour with a look back at the Wonderland Gang murders. How did one of the the most brutal crimes in LA history happen and who was involved? We will also discuss Ramon Novarro and the Zankou Chicken Murders in this area!
- Chateau Marmont - If the walls could talk in any building in the world, you’d talk to the Marmont. Full of celebrity secrets and haunted by a dark past, the Marmont is a notorious celebrity hangout.
- The Sunset Trocadero Lounge - This will be one of several stops where we discuss the gangster of old LA. Hear about the final moments of the “Ice Cream Blonde” Thelma Todd and her run in with “Lucky” Luciano.
- Sunset Strip - Now you’re really getting into the Sunset Strip. Hollywood moguls and stars come to play at these world famous clubs and hotels. Some play a little too hard…
- Comedy Store - The biggest names in comedy all cover the exterior of the Comedy Store. On any given night, you could see superstar comedians trying new jokes or discover a comic to watch. But what was here before the store? And do the violent actions of the past carry on today? Let’s find out!
- Sunset Plaza - We continue down more of the Strip while discussing Charles Manson, the Sunset Killers, and the curse of “Rebel Without a Cause” (we will even go to the spot where a Hollywood star took his final walk.)
- The Viper Room - Our most murder filled true crime tour ends by the Viper Room to remember River Phoenix and to discuss the dangers (and allure) of the Hollywood lifestyle!

Highly Highly Recommend! - Amazing tour! Chris did not skip a beat throughout the tour. The stops along the way corresponded along with the area perfectly as each story related to the area along with the inter weaving through the presentation.
This is a must do and see tour. Easy walk, spectacular views, wonderful pieces of history to hear and see and packed the entire time with information! 💥

Descriptively creepy & entertaining! - My daughter & I loved this tour- Chris shared so many interesting stories- as we walked along a great stretch of Sunset Blvd. The walk was easy, there were plenty of stopping points and the tour included real photos & audio which added extra drama! Chris is the best- he educates in a twisted, funny way. Loved it!

Highly Recommend! - The tour guide, Chris is a fantastic storyteller. He knows so much regarding the area and was able to answer all our questions. The walk was easy and time flew by while we were taken back in time to the scandals of Hollywood. If your going to take a tour this one is worth every penny!

Entertaining and enlightening. - Chris was a great storyteller; he told a tale that was complex and detailed but in a way that was streamlined both geographically and historically, from the origins of the Sunset Strip to the death of River Phoenix 100 years later. He made us laugh but he treated the subject matter with the seriousness it deserved.
