This is my second time to go on this tour - the first time for my daugher Cindy. It was as good or even better the second time as the first time. When we headed over to meet our guide, I told my daughter that I was hoping Scott would be the guide and luckily it was him, as there is no one better at this than him. I also took the regular Dearly Departed Tour with Scott last year with my daughter Cindy and her husband and again he did an outstanding job of keeping it interesting with multiple little details that other tours just simply don't have - never a dull moment. Scott takes his time, has restroom stops, is patience with all of the group's questions, etc. - again, I can't say enough good things about him and the tour in general - I don't know if anyone knows more about the Manson family and those events of August 1969 than Scott does. This tour also provides the best music from 1969 and truly takes you back to that year. I have been on other tours of the LA area about various subjects, movie star homes, etc. with other tour guides who appear to be completely uninformed when compared to Scott. Scott's tours are by far the very best. I can't say enough about how happy that I am with both of his tours and hope to take his new Hollywood Movie Tour in the next few months and may repeat the Dearly Departed Tour again before too long. My daughter Shelley and I will be going on one of them in November, and my daughter Lisa and I are already looking forward to stopping in LA to take one of his tours next summer when we head up to San Francisco. He's the very best and the tour was positively amazing!

This a must see LA tour... The tour guide is extremely knowledgeable and will allow you to learn so much about this part of California history. If you are at all interested in the Manson killing you can not miss this one...

My friend and I did not know what to expect but were completely open for this experience. We have to give some major kudos to our tour guide because we were so impressed by the amount of detail he provides to ensure we understand the intricacies’ of this tragic event. He has video, sound bites, photos and of course you are taken to the majority of the major sites. For anyone considering whether you should take part in this tour, my thought is that you won't be disappointed.

This was a very informative and reflective tour on the 40th anniversary of the tragedy. Scott has obviously done tons of research on the subject and on this tour you wil find out the little know details that you don't get elsewhere. I would highly reccomend this tour.

Helter Skelter Tour

I loved it - always have had a fascination with the Manson Murders and have previously gone on Graveline Tours on 3 occasions. I am Australian and as there were other Aussies on the tour I went on - I obviously am not the only one who finds this interesting. This is an event which everyone of any age group recalls and to be able to see the places which I have read about and see the exact location and the remoteness - you can understand how they were able to get away. I recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in this part of history.

Fascinating insight into a horrific tradgedy

Scott, our tour guide and driver, puts everything into his tours--great research and tremendous detail. I've also taken the Dearly Departed Tour. He's well prepared, possesses expert knowledge and is enjoyable to listen to. The tour is well-paced and presents the horrific Manson Family murders in dark and graphic detail. My wife had a fascination with the whole Helter Skelter tradgedy and was thoroughly impressed. The tour, followed by our lunch at Farmer's Market, made for a somewhat dark but thoroughly enlightening trip through Los Angeles and Hollywood history.
