Helter Skelter Tragical History Tour

Over the past 30 years I've read a lot and watched everything that comes up regarding the Manson murders. I still learned quite a few interesting facts. Mostly I prefer to do my own thing, to spend as much time as I want visiting a site. However this tour takes you to so many little known sites that are part of the story, there's no way I could do it myself. This is not done in a hurried fashion either. Strange as it may sound, my wife took me (at my request) on this tour for Valentine's Day. It wasn't the most romantic date, but we both enjoyed it!

It gave me a little more sight on the locations,over all it was worth the trip.

Awesome tour. Got a lot of information. The only thing I wish was if we could get out of the car and take photos. He has an awesome museum back at the shop so thats definitely worth checking out. Really weird to be right in front of all these famous sites. Its really cool to see the houses now and think back to the photos taken back in 69.' Glad they have a tour like this. Definetely recommend it.

I took the Tragic History tour from DD last year and really enjoyed it. I was hoping that the Helter Skelter tour would be as good. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this tour for anyone who has just a casual interest in the topic. The tour guide is knowledgeable and obviously passionate about this subject but some of the sites pointed out are just inconsequential (or irrelevant) to the overall story. The tour is long, around 4 hours, and in my opinion should be cut down to a more manageable time. If you have read everything about the Manson family and are really interested in seeing everything then this is the tour for you. If you are just a little curious, take the other tour - it's way more interesting.

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!!

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.

Explores lesser known details of these horrific yet fascinating crimes.

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.... J. King

Fun!
