Fantastic!!!!!!
Fri, Mar 12  1:00 PM stevewatkins Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We have been on several tours of Los Angeles and this one was the best. It had places of interest for the tragedy aspect of it, and plenty of info on different homes, people and places. I highly recommend this tour. When I get back to LA, I would definately go on another Dearly Departed Tour.

So super awesome!

We rented out the entire bus for a friend's birthday. It was the best! The 3 hours flew by, we learned a lot of stuff we didn't know (our guide was super knowledgeable) and there was even some sightseeing on the tour that was non-tragedy related. A fun time was had by all!

Tour "dearly departed" on us - 1 star is too much!
Sat, Mar 6  1:00 PM Steven0425 Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
My wife and I flew into LAX last Saturday for our scheduled tour all the way from Wisconsin. We thought we would 'kill a day' in LA before our 7 day Carnival cruise began Sunday. After running into typical LA traffic, we called the number given 30 minutes prior to the tour start time to let the tour leader know that we were on our way and would probably just make it on time. We only were able to leave a voice mail. Upon getting closer to the highly congested meeting spot, we called once again 15 minutes later (and 15 minutes prior to the tour start time) and once again were only able to leave a voice mail. Finally, once we did get to the meeting spot, with 2 minutes to spare (according to the time on my Sprint cell phone) of the tour start time, we found that no one was present and that apparently the tour had "dearly departed" on us. I called the number once more and once again was only able to leave a voice mail. Suffice it to say, we made other arrangements for the day. Before I go on, I will admit that we cut it very close - but the fact is is that we were at the meeting spot 2 minutes before the tour was to leave - simple as that - and we also attempted to contact the tour leader several times to inform him or her of where we were at, etc. No one with the tour company ever called us back to follow-up or apologize for leaving without us before the deadline time. Which leads me to ask - what good is giving a contact number to a customer if the company simply chooses to ignore the customers calls? I will be informing my credit card company that I am in dispute of the charges for this tour. I find it unacceptable, unprofessional, and outright rude that this tour company treated my wife and I in the manner that they did. I will not be recommending this tour company whatsoever to anyone.

Scott Rocks
Wed, Mar 3  1:00 PM mizundastood Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
Scott did a great job taking us on his tour. He took us to so many locations, some of the places I had wanted to see for a long time. The tour was very interesting and Scott had a lot of information on every location and what happened there. It was great. I am looking forward to returning next year and taking the other tour. I wanted to take the Helter Skelter Tour this time, but I had to leave before it took place, but the Tragical Tour exceeded my expectations and I had fun. I really recommend any tour that Scott does.

A fantastic day with family and friends.
Sat, Feb 27  1:00 PM beverlyjean1 Female 60-69 Local Group of Friends
Our group has been on a couple tours and we have decided this was one of the most enjoyable, informative tours we have been on and it's all because of Scott. Our tour guide made our day. He made each stop interesting and made it so we couldn't wait until the next stop to see what he had in store for us. We would go on any tour Scott would be giving, because we feel he would make it interesting and very informative. He is very professional, polite and you can see he read up on these different sights and keeps up on them so not only do you get the past, that some of us older people are interested in but also the current events that the younger people are interested in, so he definately held our interest through out the tour. Like we said he is truly one of the best tour guides we have had. Beverly, Riverside, Ca.

I was ready to depart myself

I had such a wonderful day with our Rider Richard. The detail and the fun that he interjected was delightful and full of FUN! :) I learned so much about our past celebrity passing's in my hometown (a nativie Los Angeleno) I never knew. It totally threw me. Now when Im out and about this wonderful city, and travel by some of these historic sites plus olderhomes of yesterday's stars was such a HOOT! I definitely would take the trip again sometime in the future and will book another trip through your organization for further investigation! :) Keep up the FUN work DEARLY DEPARTED!

Lots Of Fun And Information
Wed, Feb 24  1:00 PM Mateo321 Male 40-49 Local Group of Friends
I so impressed with the guides wealth of information and his ability to dispel the information. It was fun. It was informative and it was something that I am so glad I took part in. I am planning on taking more of the available tour sets because of how much fun this one was. It was worth every penny spent.

Our guide was well informed, engaging, and fun to be in a van with! I called home to tell my sisters that they have to come back with me and take the tour too. It was a blast!

Entertaining, but not for the weak stomached!
Sat, Feb 20  2:00 PM shannonmica Female 30-39 Local Group of Friends
Overall this tour is interesting, particularly for LA locals who don't even know the history they drive past on a daily basis! Our tour guide was entertaining and obviously passionate about his job, which is always a pleasure to witness. My biggest complaint would be that he also seemed passionate about the brakes and driving around LA for 3 hours in a small bus left me quesy at every stop. If you get car sick beware, and consider sitting upfront because it is a lot of stop and go.

We're from NY and this was part of my daughter's 16th birthday gift. As a fan of Scott and Find a Death.com for a few years, she absolutely loved it. She's already told me she'd like to do the Helter Skelter tour if we visit again!

Interesting way to kill a few hours
Wed, Feb 17  1:00 PM afreeman74 Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Overall, my wife and I had a good time. I was surprised by how much of the tour was NOT something morbid or tragic ("Here is Sean Hayes' house!"), but we still got our fair share of the darkside of Hollywood. I was also pleased with how relatively current some of the sights were, such as the house where Michael Jackson died.
