A Must-Do for True Crime and History Enthusiasts - Grave Line Tours was an unforgettable experience! Adam, the owner and guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about sharing LA’s darker history. He made the tour both informative and engaging while being respectful to the victims’ stories. We took the Manson Family Murders tour, and it was fascinating to visit the real locations and learn the history behind them. Adam made us feel completely comfortable throughout the tour, and his storytelling kept us captivated the entire time. I can’t wait to try more of their tours—highly recommend!

Manson Family Tour with Blaze= Perfection - My daughter and I took the Manson Family Murder Tour with Blaze as our tour guide and we loved every minute of it. Blaze is knowledgeable and interesting, sharing fascinating facts and information about Charles Manson and the family. Blaze kept us entertained every moment of the tour. We were sorry when it ended and we had to say goodbye! Blaze stopped at many of the spots that Manson frequented and we really felt like we had first hand knowledge of the madman that he was. My daughter and I talked for hours after the tour about Manson and all we learned. Blaze can multi task like a pro and is the best tour guide we have ever had. We hope to have another tour with Blaze in the future! Simply perfection. We wish we could do it all over again!

Best Tour! - The Charles Manson Tour led by Adam was not only one of the best tour experiences, but overall LA experience I’ve had since moving to the city a few years ago. Adam’s attention to detail provided me and my friends with 3 hours of non stop stories and facts that really took us back to 1969. Highly recommend taking one of Adam’s amazing tours when you have the chance!

All things macabre, nothing demure! - Thank you @BlazeLoveJoy and @gravelinetours for the informative journey in the classic Cadillac funeral limo! This adventure tickled my nerd driven fancy which craves all things historical, pathological, psychological and wrought with the underpinnings of non-normative behavior. I've watched about a ton of documentaries on the "family" and learned so much still. I most definitely had my fill touring with y'all. It was everything I hoped for and so much more!!

Your Funereal Chariot to August 1968 Awaits - Blaze was an absolute macabre delight as was her 1994 funereal chariot. She picked us up early and clearly has a deep passion for her work. There were only two of us on this tour and Blaze immediately established an excellent rapport and ensured our comfort throughout while taking us down the dark and disturbing journey that was August 1968. The tour is very methodical and well-thought out. Blaze interspersed her well researched and delivered commentary with musical selections that inspired the messed up mind of Manson as well as some of his own failed efforts behind the microphone. This tour was multi-dimensional, enjoyable and thought-provoking. If you are a true crime aficionado, be sure to make this a “must do” when visiting LA. Blaze is a real professional and her commitment to providing her audience with an excellent experience is both laudable and refreshing.

A Killer Tour - There’s a reason Blaze rhymes with Amaze(ing)! The tour was great and Blaze’s theatricality and knowledge base made the ride fun and informative. Even if you’ve been to the places that the tour stops before, getting a realtime walk through of events will make it so you don’t see places like El Coyote or the Magic castle the same ever again. Even then traffic is tolerable with a specially curated lists of relevant music and interviews. Any true crime fan will enjoy this and it’s a great way to see LA like you may have never before.
