An enjoyable bus tour through Pasadena and South Pasadena with entertaining hosts describing various crimes at the exact location. The tour was reasonably well organized with two stops but no clown with balloons on our tour. Much information was provided about each "crime" and the bus video system was used to display photos and other documents related to each crime. Could be improved and made more organized but on balance an enjoyable afternoon.Written on May 25 2009

Esotouric really presents L.A.'s finest tours of the city's crime history, noir influences, and other fun topics. I've recently been on two of their Raymond Chandler tours, and hope to book some of their current tours. The Pasadena tour was so packed full of information--some unbelievabley weird and entertaining that you go away with your head bursting with knowledge! Crimebo the Clown was also hilarious, and we enjoyed his creative sketch near the "suicide bridge" in Pasadena!Written on Oct 09 2008

Description
The Crown City masquerades as a calm and refined retreat, where well-bred ladies glide around their perfect bungalows and everyone knows what fork to use first. But don't be fooled by appearances. Dip into the confidential files of old Pasadena and meet assassins and lepers, kidnappers and slashers, Satanists and all manner of maniac in a delightful little tour you WON'T find recommended by the better class of people! Join Esotouric's ace researchers Kim Cooper, Joan Renner and Richard Schave for a chilling exploration of the forgotten criminal lore of this deceptively sleepy suburb, From celebrated cases like the RFK assassination (with a visit to Sirhan Sirhan's folks' house), "Eraserhead" star Jack Nance's strange end, black magician/rocket scientist Jack Parsons' death-by-misadventure and the 1926 Rose Parade grand stand collapse, to fascinating obscurities, the tour's dozens of murders, arsons, kidnappings, robberies, suicides, auto wrecks and oddball happening sites provide a alternate history of Pasadena that's as fascinating as it is creepy. Passengers will tour the old Millionaire's Row on Orange Grove, thrill to the shocking Sphinx Murder on the steps of the downtown Masonic Hall and discover why people named Judd should think twice before moving to Pasadena. Esotouric's tours earned the Best Downtown Tour award from the editors of the Downtown News and have built a reputation for the most eclectic and well researched crime and literature tours in the Southland, with popular Black Dahlia, Raymond Chandler and Blood & Dumplings Tours, and feature stories in The Los Angeles Times, Pasadena Weekly (cover story), LA Alternative Press (cover story), Christian Science Monitor, BBC News, Pasadena Star-News, KNX News Radio and a "best of LA" nod from Los Angeles Magazine. Passengers on this eye-opening, funny and informative tour will forever see Pasadena in a new light. It is highly recommended for natives and newcomers alike, crime and history buffs and anyone who likes to seek out the unexpected.
