Haunted Hollywood Walking Tour: True Crime and Creepy Tales

1.Haunted Hollywood Walking Tour: True Crime and Creepy Tales

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 299 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $39Our pick

Walk from the Hollywood Pantages Theatre to the Dolby Theatre with a guide such as Beau, Kyle, or Paul. Expect celebrity history, true crime, ghost stories, and stops at famous Hollywood landmarks. The tour is lively and detailed, but it leans more toward Hollywood history than pure hauntings.

“I would recommend it definitely especially if you like a good story, I found out about interesting Hollywood history I never knew, it was entertaining to hear some crime stories and a learn about a few "hauntings". I recommend for people who have good attention span, since the stories are long and detailed.”
