| Scott has organised the tour very well so that you see
3 murder sites and other places of interest connected to the Manson killings.
The tour was very interesting and educational and in no way seeks to glamorise
the murderers |
|
kinda interesting, but overpriced.

| i found the tour to be a little too long for the amount of information/sites there were to see.
i also think it was too pricey, i would value it at $25, 1/2 of what it cost.
seeing the houses of the LaBianca's and the site where Sharon Tate's house was were the highlights, but driving down through the canyon to see the front of the house where a gun was found seemed like a time waster and a filler. seeing it from the road gave you the point enough. too many of these made you want the tour to end.
i would have liked more information, audio, or something on Manson himself.
i did find the driver very informed on Hollywood history.
if your a big Manson fanatic, go for it. if you have mild to moderate interest, find the addresses of the two locations and take yourself. |

| What a great tour!! If you are a fan of true crime or just of the macabre, you will have the best time on this tour. Your tour guide, Scott Michaels, is really the best part of the tour. His knowledge on these murders is really thorough. You will be driven around to all the sites in the air conditioned van. Definitely buy your tickets well in advance. The tour is over 3 hours long and totally worth the price!! |

| This is our second tour with Scott and we just love him. He is the best. We have not been dissapointed. He has such a knowledge of the case history. We left the tour shocked about all the information that he had about the victims and murderers. Our family ranges in ages from 14 to 75 and we all found it interesting. |

| This was a terrific tour. Following the events of August 1969 and seeing the actual sites was just creepy. Scott is an excellent tour guide and he knows so much about what happened. To top it all off, the story about the rocks he collected from the site of the Tate house just gave me chills. Now all I have to do is figure out how those ghostly looking stairs appeared in my picture of Susan Labianca's house.
Great job, Scott !!! |

| Learn all the gory details about those two horrible nights in August of 1969 and see where the gruesome events took place as ever-knowledgeable Host Scott Michaels leads you through Hollywood, Los Feliz, Silver Lake, Benedict Canyon and beyond. Hear about the last moments of Sharon Tate and her friends as well as Leno & Rosemary LaBianca in graphic detail and you will understand why this was the crime of the century. Never boring, sometimes heartbreaking, always fascinating, this tour will stay with you long after its conclusion. |

| This is the 2nd time I took this tour. Took it for the first time last August. Never see everything the first time...that's why I had to take it again.
Scott is a great tour guide. He very animated and just generally a great guy. It's nice when everyone participates and discusses the tragedy and talks about things they read, or found out.
For anyone that's interested in that time period and this tragedy, I highly recommend this tour. It's very informative and you will definitely find out things that you did not know.
Plus Scott contributes $5.00 of each ticket sold to the Doris Tate Foundation.
Thanks again, Scott, for the great ride. I just wish I could have gone up to Cielo Drive the night before. But maybe in the future....

| The tour guide (Scott Michaels) has put a lot of thought and effort into providing this informational historic tour. He knows his stuff! I highly recommend this tour (probably not for young children) and plan on taking the rest of them. |

| He is a really nice guy and he gives you SO much information on the tour. It shows the real truth behind this horrible crime. I learned a lot, things that you don't here anywhere else. I would go on this tour again. If you are coming to L.A., you HAVE to take one of Scott's tours. And if you live here in L.A., this is a must if you are an L.A. native. |
