Ansley was a great tour guide. Gravline was able to customize a tour for back to back tours with a nice lunch break. This was a long day and lots of driving, but well worth it. My son and I did this tour ( age 21) and he enjoyed it also. He did not really know the dark history of LA. I had him do a bit of research before the tour. As soon as we got back to our hotel he put on the 60 min Manson documentary and interview, so I know he was engaged. Super fun guide with a great personality, not too overpowering and very informative :-)

Ansley is an exceptional guide with a deep and nuanced understanding of the Manson Family murders, thoughtfully engaging with a range of interpretive theories. She is personable, approachable, and communicates with ease, creating an engaging and comfortable experience throughout. Her professionalism extends to her driving as well. A definitive 10 out of 10—I would highly recommend her.
