    Cocktails and True Crime!!

    Stephanie was amazing from the jump. Great energy, super friendly, and an INCREDIBLE storyteller!!!! She has me hooked every step of the way. The places we visited we pretty awesome too. The vibe at Broadners lent itself to the mob stories Stephanie shared. The rooftop was relaxing and had great views. And the Roosevelt gave spooky vibes while Stephanie was talking about the ghosts that may or may not still be around. Also, the drinks were delicious. I liked that the group was small. Only 4 of us. Easy to connect with everyone. Overall, it was a wonderful experience!!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We're so glad you enjoyed the cocktails and true crime tour with Stephanie. We hope to see you again for another spine-tingling evening in the future.

    Trevor rocks!

    We had a great time! Trevor was very knowledgeable, engaging, and entertaining. The cocktails were delicious and made the experience unique from the other walking tours we’ve done. Plus, we got to see some of the coolest spots in the area, from the darker side of Hollywood to the glitz and glam. I definitely recommend it!

    Hollywood Cocktails and True Crime Tour: 3 Drinks Included: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Los Angeles.

    How much does Hollywood Cocktails and True Crime Tour: 3 Drinks Included cost?

    +

    Prices start at $135 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Los Angeles usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Hollywood Cocktails and True Crime Tour: 3 Drinks Included take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Los Angeles is not rushed.

    Is Hollywood Cocktails and True Crime Tour: 3 Drinks Included worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 38 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Los Angeles, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Hollywood Cocktails and True Crime Tour: 3 Drinks Included?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Hollywood Cocktails and True Crime Tour: 3 Drinks Included suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Hollywood Cocktails and True Crime Tour: 3 Drinks Included?

    +

    Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Los Angeles can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Los Angeles and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Hollywood Cocktails and True Crime Tour: 3 Drinks Included start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Los Angeles within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Los Angeles?

    +

    Los Angeles rewards travellers who cluster their bookings by geography rather than by theme. Studio tours and Hollywood walks sit inland, the Malibu and Santa Monica coast runs west, and Griffith Observatory and the canyon hikes work best at dawn or dusk. We weight transport clarity in the ranking here: whether pickup is included changes an LA day more than the tour itself. On Outty we rank every Los Angeles experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hollywood Sign 2.5-Hour Tour with Comedians and Their Dogs, Los Angeles Hollywood Sign Hike: Front, Behind, and Expert Guide, Los Angeles Original 90-Minute Walking Tour to The Hollywood Sign. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Los Angeles?

    +

    March to May and September to November, for clear air and open canyon roads. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Los Angeles?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
