5.00We wanted to take the Manson or Black Dahlia tour but we had limited time and the Gangster’s Paradise was the only tour on offer. We figured it would be fun anyway and we were right! Driving around Hollywood in a classic funeral limo is never a bad way to spend an afternoon. We learned some weird stuff about LA history and had a blast. Thank you, Blaze for your wit and insight!

5.00This tour was super cool, I thought the backstory of LA gangsters was so interesting and our host Blaze was really good at capturing the vibes.
From start to finish Blaze was a wealth of info on the LA Mob scene. She was exceptionally cool and we had the best time

5.00Our tour is called Gangster’s Paradise. It’s brand new and we went on the first day! Get ready to take pics of all the mansions, restaurants and sites of the incredible mobsters that ran Los Angeles and the Hollywood entertainment scene. Where they ate, worked out, got killed and so much more!
