Intriguing Dark History of Los Angeles

Expectations were not only met, but they were exceeded by this 2 hour historical tour of Downtown Los Angeles. Dark and dirty secrets were revealed from the history of the Pico House, LA's first graveyard to mysterious disappearances at the Hotel Cecil and Biltmore Hotel. Our guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable but an incredible story teller. Would do it again!

This was an amazing tour. Such a lovely guide who had so much knowledge to impart. We were a group of 13 spooky number eh? and I'm sure we all went away very well educated on the scary side of Downtown. I was particularly spooked about the Alexandria Hotel and can't wait to google it when I get the chance. If you're stuck on tours to choose then we can well recommend you choose this one. Fantastic and informative.
