On our DTLA Murder Mystery Ghost tour we go on an investigation of the noir underbelly of Los Angeles – and enjoy cocktails in two haunted bars.

First we visit the Biltmore Hotel, the last place the Black Dahlia was seen alive. Next we stop at Clifton’s and learn about the anti-corruption drive of its Christian founder (who had a few secrets of his own). After that it's the Hotel Cecil, which has a hellish history of murders, suicides and killers (including the Night Stalker). From there we move to the once grand Alexandria Hotel, where Rudolph Valentino’s ghost still haunts his old penthouse, then the Barclay Hotel, home to two serial killers and the scene of some brutal murders. We visit the site of the Chinatown Massacre of 1871, before the tour finishes at the Halls of Justice, site of many trials including those of Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel and Charles Manson.

* Tour starts 6pm every Saturday

Sonja was a great guide and an excellent story teller. The tour was relaxed and professional and it was a fun way to see part of LA I would otherwise probably not see. Well worth the trip.

It's crazy how much history L.A. has that I never heard of. I have been driving through these L.A. streets for years not knowing the history of what happened. Really great experience, I would recommend it if you want to know the history of L.A....

I really enjoyed my experience. I booked this trip for my girlfriend for her birthday and we had a blast. Chris was our tour guide and he was entertaining, knowledgeable, and passionate about what he does. The route we went on took us through some of the oldest buildings in DTLA and Chris did a great job not only telling us about some of the murders that occurred in them, but also some of the ghost stories he has heard in the lore as well as recent ghost stories he has heard from current residents of the buildings. Chris also tied in some architectural and Los Angeles history as well!

Expect the tour to be three hours long. We did make one stop at this really cool bar along the way so that was a treat as well. I would definitely recommend this experience.
