We had a great time on the tour. Scott is very knowledgeable on Helter Skelter and does a great job on the presentation. I would recommend the tour for anyone.

My friend and I are quite interested in what some may refer to as the macabre so we couldn't resist the opportunity to go on this tour. Unlike many tours I've been on this one had extensive research and the content was accurate and very well planned out. The video footage between locations was a great way to keep the flow of the tour happening while travelling the city. If you are looking for something sensationalist, this is not the tour to take, it was extremely factual and professionally handled. I am very interested to see what else this tour company comes out with.

I can summarize the morning: Scott was a plethora of information on Manson and the events of 1969. It was truly a great experience...I live in L.A. and was shown so many locations I didn't even know about. I would recommend this to anyone/everyone who is intrigued by this tragic time. Not for kids or people who are not into the Manson crimes. I LOVED it.

I wasn't able to make the original tour. Scott at Deadly Departed Tours responded to an email I sent and said I could reschedule. I replied and said I would contact him in the spring. He gave me a date in February. I couldn't go so I didn't repond. Looks like I'm out the money!!

We took my Mom for her birthday and I must say this was by far the best tour I have ever gone on. Our Tour guide, Scott Michaels was so much fun and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour. It was fascinating and we will be going again!!!

Very interesting. Even though the Tate house has been demolished there are still other sites too see. Scott is extremely knowledgeable about the crimes and the background and aftermath to them, but he invites discussion too. One tip: If you get car sick easily, consider taking a travel sickness pill - a few parts of the tour are on windy canyon roads.

im a big true crime buff, and charles manson is to me one of the most interesting. ive read more then a few books on him, and to actually see where it happened made it all come together better. would definitely recommend going on this tour if you are into learning about charles manson or enjoy crime in general.

Amazing Tour!

I had knowledge of the Charles Manson Family murders when I attended the tour. I had read four books, and watched three movies on "Helter Skelter". I have to give this tour guide a very astounding grade. He is one of the best researchers by far. If you want to know what happended in 1969 the era of the Hippies and also the murders you have to book this tour with Scott Michaels . He is one of a kind.

This tour is awesome! Met some great people and Scott is so informative! I didn't want to get off the bus! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in the "Manson" Murders. And on a personal note, I would like to thank Scott for holding the tour on Thursday to accomodate my friends and I as I was not in LA on the normal tour days. Your kindness is very appreciated and your tour was one I will always remember! Thanks again!
