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! Please note that this is a walking tour!

Meeting points

We will meet at the corner with the stairs. This is at the corner of Sunset and Crescent Heights. There is a parking lot at the mall and several in the surrounding area.

End point

Open in Google Maps

The tour ends at the Viper Room. Does NOT end where we began. You can walk back the meeting point in about 20 minutes, take a quick rideshare, or use the bus to quickly return to the meeting point.

Itinerary

  • Sunset Boulevard

    We begin the tour with a look back at the Wonderland Gang murders. How did one of the the most brutal crimes in LA history happen and who was involved? We will also discuss Ramon Novarro and the Zankou Chicken Murders in this area!

    15 minutes

  • N/A (Pass By)

    If the walls could talk in any building in the world, you'd talk to the Marmont. Full of celebrity secrets and haunted by a dark past, the Marmont is a notorious celebrity hangout.

  • The Sunset Trocadero Lounge (Pass By)

    This will be one of several stops where we discuss the gangster of old LA. Hear about the final moments of the "Ice Cream Blonde" Thelma Todd and her run in with "Lucky" Luciano.

  • Sunset Strip (Pass By)

    Now you're really getting into the Sunset Strip. Hollywood moguls and stars come to play at these world famous clubs and hotels. Some play a little too hard...

  • Comedy Store (Pass By)

    The biggest names in comedy all cover the exterior of the Comedy Store. On any given night, you could see superstar comedians trying new jokes or discover a comic to watch. But what was here before the store? And do the violent actions of the past carry on today? Let's find out!

  • Sunset Plaza (Pass By)

    We continue down more of the Strip while discussing Charles Manson, the Sunset Killers, and the curse of "Rebel Without a Cause" (we will even go to the spot where a Hollywood star took his final walk.)

  • The Viper Room (Pass By)

    Our most murder filled true crime tour ends by the Viper Room to remember River Phoenix and to discuss the dangers (and allure) of the Hollywood lifestyle!

Fantastic tour -highly recommend.

Published on Jan, 2025

I bought this for my teen son as a Christmas present. We both loved it. Chris was our tour guide and is a fountain of knowledge trivia and fun tidbits. He is a fantastic storyteller, and the two hours flew by. My teen is mature enough for the content but beware there’s quite a bit on sex and drugs. Highly recommend the Sunset Crime and guest tour.

An Enjoyable good time.

Published on Dec, 2024

Chris is knowledgeable and welcomes questions related to crime and death that goes all the way back in Los Angeles history .

A unique way to see LA!

Published on Dec, 2024

It was a wonderful tour! The content is well researched and Chris is very knowledgeable in answering follow-up questions. This is a very interesting way to learn about LA history and land development in the context of crime.

Best storyteller EVER !!

Published on Dec, 2024

Chris is an AMAZING story teller! We had so much fun I’d do it again for sure. He needs to write a book. He had so much eye contact and really kept you held into the stories. Loved this so so so much!

Chris was a fantastic Guide

Published on Oct, 2024
