70th birrhday vacation - Chris was a great tour guide. You can tell he really enjoys his work. He has a vast knowledge of the area. The walking pace was good, for my aging mother, not to many stairs. Chris also stayed a couple extra minutes with us until our Uber arrived since we weren't local.

Murderous Walk down Memory Lane - Chris was fantastic. A wealth of stories revolving around Deaths and murders on the Sunset Strip. Not scary or Spooky,, more vivid and factual tying in the history of the buildings and landmarks. I've lived here for 40 years, and only knew a handful of the tales he told. I didn't know about all the mob ties, thought those were all Vegas stories. We all want to go back to one of the Hotels or the Comedy Store and see if we can Find ourselves a Ghost !

Excellent tour - Chris was an excellent guide, he’s a walking encyclopedia of knowledge about the Sunset strip and its history. The tour could have easily been twice as long and still not scratched the surface of his stories and history. Strongly recommend!

The Sunset Strip Like You’ve Never Seen It - The Strip will never look the same again after Chris’s spine-tingling storytelling. Equal parts eerie and fascinating, he makes history come alive with energy, detail, and just the right touch of humor. It’s not your average ghost tour — he resurrects the Sunset Strip’s darkest secrets with razor-sharp facts. Chris is extremely knowledgeable and clearly does his research, even interviewing prison guards, hotel staff, and police officers connected to the very crimes he covers. The result is history, mystery, and entertainment rolled into one unforgettable night. Every story felt cinematic, weaving true crime, ghosts, and scandals into a walk that left the Strip buzzing in my mind long after.

If you like true crime TAKE THIS TOUR! - My boyfriend and I ended up having a solo tour with Chris along the strip. Even before the tour began he was giving us general information and great recommendations based on where we were staying and what we wanted to do. Once the tour began it was basically like listening to podcast, the tour flowed incredibly well and he was able to tie all of the stops together effortlessly and keep us engaged. I would take another tour with him if I was back in Los Angeles.
