Overview

After creating Hollywood’s most successful true crime tour, we are back to uncover the history of the Sunset Strip! Slashers, specters, and Hollywood stars all mix together on the Strip... sometimes with deadly results.

This walking tour is a deep dive into the true crime and ghost stories of Sunset Boulevard. You'll hear about gangsters like Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel and see where they "took care of the competition." Tales of Charles Manson, the Wonderland Gang, and Sunset Killers will keep you up at night. And, hopefully you won't go home with a spirit after passing some of LA's most haunted locations!

No other tour focuses on the exploring the notorious history of Sunset Blvd like this one. See LA in a Day is one of the highest rated tour companies in LA. Our tours are heavily researched and passionately give by 5 star guides. We can't wait to see you on a tour!
