DTLA Murder Mystery Ghost Tour

Overview

On our DTLA Murder Mystery Ghost tour we go on an investigation of the noir underbelly of Los Angeles – and enjoy cocktails in two haunted bars.

First we visit the Biltmore Hotel, the last place the Black Dahlia was seen alive. Next we stop at Clifton’s and learn about the anti-corruption drive of its Christian founder (who had a few secrets of his own). After that it's the Hotel Cecil, which has a hellish history of murders, suicides and killers (including the Night Stalker). From there we move to the once grand Alexandria Hotel, where Rudolph Valentino’s ghost still haunts his old penthouse, then the Barclay Hotel, home to two serial killers and the scene of some brutal murders. We visit the site of the Chinatown Massacre of 1871, before the tour finishes at the Halls of Justice, site of many trials including those of Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel and Charles Manson.

I have been on many haunted tours in downtown la and hollywood and this was by far one of my favorites. Our guide, Terry, was very knowledgable and fun. Tour lasts about 2.5 hours with a 25 min cocktail/bathroom break. The walk is fairly easy but just wear some comfortable shoes and be prepared for a good time. Me and my friend learned a lot about the different murders that occurred at different spots that we frequent here in LA. My favorite was the stop @ clifton's, where we stopped forma cocktail, and the Biltmore. So much history to appreciate and go home to google image more pictures of lol. Thank you for a wonderful Saturday night!

My boyfriend and I took this tour with Stuart as our guide and we had the most amazing time!!! We made a pitstop at this shop called Hollywood Slums and we had experiences we will never forget! We were able to see parts and people of Los Angeles that we never would have without Stuart as our guide. I give this a 10/10. If we ever visit again, this will be at the top of our to do list!
