What To Expect
At the infamous Highland Gardens Hotel (formerly the Landmark Motor Hotel), discover the Hollywood hotspot where rock legend Janis Joplin died of a heroin overdose in Room 105 in 1970. This notorious Los Angeles location blends true crime, rock ’n’ roll history, and paranormal lore, making it a chilling stop for fans of dark Hollywood stories and eerie photo opportunities.
Your tour will stop outside the quiet Hollywood homes where Kevin Lee Graff brutally murdered retired screenwriter Robert Lees and neighbor Dr. Morley Engelson in 2004, in a case that shocked Los Angeles with its beheading and frenzied violence. Guests will hear how a drifter targeted these unsuspecting elderly men in their upscale neighborhood just off Hollywood and Sunset Boulevards, transforming an otherwise ordinary street into the scene of one of the city’s most gruesome modern crimes.

5.00I booked this tour and made my dad go with me. We both had a blast! Ansley was our tour guide and she was amazing. She is so knowledgeable and clearly is passionate about her work. We ended up missing the last couple of stops due to the limo overheating, but the manager promptly responded to give us a ride back to the starting point, and they gave great accommodations for the trouble. I will absolutely book with Grave Line again!!

5.00I went on the Death Becomes Her Tour with my Uncles and we absolutely loved it. If you’re into true crime this is a fantastic tour that explores the dark underbelly and stranger side of Hollywood crime over the years. The experience starts the moment you climb into the vintage limousine, Riding around Hollywood and the Hills in a vintage limo while hearing stories about famous scandals, tragedies, and true crime cases is both creepy and surprisingly fun. The tour focuses on the sinister side of Los Angeles history, from notorious crimes to the locations where some of Hollywood’s most tragic stories unfolded. Blaze was a great storyteller and clearly knew the history inside and out. The way they mixed humor, atmosphere, and real historical details made the whole ride engaging from start to finish. Going with my uncles made it even more fun, it’s a great activity for visiting family and friends (as long as they have a good sense of humor and can stomach some gory details because it’s unique and a little bit theatrical. It felt like equal parts history tour, true-crime podcast, and dark Hollywood adventure. If you enjoy true crime, Hollywood history, or just want a tour that’s totally different from the usual LA sightseeing options, I highly recommend this one. We’re still talking about it!
Insist on Blaze

5.00What a great experience! Thank you @gravelinetours yesterday I took the Death Becomes her tour! Our tour guide ansley was great! It was so much fun! From the stories of The deaths I already knew, to the scandals along the way I didnt. . We visited some of the infamous locations around Hollywood and the hills surrounding. One place i have never been was the house Brittany Murphy passed in. It was a great tour.
The most "killer" way to see Hollywood!

5.00We booked the "Death Becomes Her" tour with Graveline Tours to celebrate a birthday, and it was hands down the highlight of our trip to LA! If you’re tired of the typical, sugar coated Hollywood tours, this is for you. Riding around in a vintage funeral limousine immediately sets the perfect moody vibe for exploring the darker side of Hollywood. Our tour guide, Blaze, was absolutely incredible, knowledgeable, engaging, and made the history come alive. Can’t recommend more!
Informative

5.00Our tour guide, Blaze, was friendly, very knowledgeable, and just plain fun to be with. She is also a great voice actor. The authentic funeral limo really helped to set the atmosphere. Blaze’s stories brought some of the darker history of Los Angeles to life in an endlessly fascinating ride. Highly recommended!
Interesting!
