Celebrity Death and Scandal Tour

About this experience

Hollywood is nearly as famous for scandal and tragedy as it is for glitz and glamour. Beyond the swimming pools and movie stars lurks a harsh world of death, crime, and the curse of fame.

On this private tour you'll see where some of the biggest scandals of all time actually happened. Each tour is customizable and unique, but some of the locations you may see are associated with O.J. Simpson, The Menendez Brothers, Charles Manson, Michael Jackson, Hugh Grant, Eddie Murphy, Paris Hilton, The Black Dahlia, and more. We'll also visit the filming locations of Halloween and Nightmare on Elm Street, just for fun.

Your tour guide is Adam Papagan, LA native and author of the guidebook "Behind The Scenes in Los Angeles: A Pop Culture History Tour". This tour is perfect for true crime fans, pop culture obsessives, and anyone who wants to know what really goes on in Hollywood.
