| I can't stress enough how much I enjoyed this tour. I've been a fan of Sharon Tate for awhile now, and just to see all these places brought to life was fascinating....I couldn't have loved it more. I was with my sister, who liked it as well; she hadn't really known anything about the case, and it made her really interested in it. It's well worth the money---Scott (our guide, yay!) was so knowledgeable & really has a passion for the subject. Very, very interesting, I love the film clips & songs he plays as you go along. He certainly does know every last thing: from seeing the Tate house, to where Abigail Folger and Voyteck had a house, to the LaBianca's residence, even Jack Jones' old house where the Manson "Family" creepy-crawled----fascinating stuff, all. I wish the tour would go inside the El Coyote for a group lunch, that would be a fantastic grand finale! I waited so long for this day to get here, and being from Minnesota, you have to plan these things out. I whole-heartedly loved everything, it was amazing just being in those same locations, like I said. Two thumbs up for this one for a very good time!!!! |

| Scott really knows the details of the event(s) and the tour is very thorough. Includes every location even remotely connected to the event, and includes pictures of everything, audio clips. Each of us even get a piece of memorabilia from the tragedy as well. And we get to stop at the infamous "George Michael" washroom during our bathroom break! Recommended! |

| For anybody who is into the Manson case, or anything similar, I highly recommend this tour. Scott is excellent at what he does, and he was able to show pictures and video that I have never seen before, and I have been into the case for years! He definitely knows his stuff and the tour does not disapoint. |

| If you've read the book Helter Skelter, seen any of the TV movies or documentaries, followed the case, are a crime buff or just a tourist take this tour.
Scott Michaels does an excellent, excellent job of showing you where all the mayhem took place in the summer of 1969.
You go up Cielo Drive, up Benedict Canyon. Scott shows you exactly where the killers stopped to wash off after the murders, the exact spot where the garden hose still is today.
Then there's the spot where they threw the clothes off the side of the road, plus a TV news clip from 1969 taken at the spot you're at.
Then he shows you where the gun was tossed.
You will later see the LaBianca house and Scott pretty much takes you step by step what happened that night.
I've been doing my own sightseeing of Manson sites in LA since 1981 and I've never seen it like Scott showed it to me.
There's so much more. I've driven by Jay Sebring's hair salon location many times not knowing the history there.
Highly recommended. Scott knows his stuff, has worked hard to make sure what he shows you in 100 percent fact and he knows the ins and outs of the roads, especially in the hills above LA.
I cannot recommend this tour enough.
As Dudley Moore said about Bo Derek in the movie "10" - I give it an 11. |

| The tour was fun, informal, and a relaxed enviroment. The guide was informative, and genuinely enthusiastic about his subject. Recommended for anyone interested in the 60's, hollywood, and sensational true crime |

| My coworker and I went on the tour. I heard about it on TV and was thrilled I could participate in such a tour. The tour was very informative and provided interesting angles. I was aware of a lot of the information from a program I saw on Manson; however, there was information I wasn't aware of such as the music the Manson family recorded and details on the people who were murdered. The movie clips with Sharon Tate were great. I enjoyed the tour very much and would definitely recommend it to others. |
