tour was great way to see a different side of Hollywood, small group makes it nicer and easier to interact... lots of history and human interest stories are shared ..

Fun for Locals

The tour covered a lot of ground with some familiar paths (Sunset and Hollywood Blvds), but mostly off the beaten path sites. A good mix of famous, infamous, old and new sites. The Dee Dee Ramone apartment and Hollywood Towers hotel were hits for me. Stop number one really hit me hard - real sites, real people and real tragedies.

Angela, a LA visitor from Barcelona (Spain). Travel agent. I got to know about DDT through a local newspaper in Barcelona as one of their journalists took the tour and wrote about it in one of his articles. My expectations were high as I knew in advance what the tour involved however I was really impressed on the quality of Scott's (our guide) job. Behind his explanations/stories/facts there are (for sure) many hours of preparation and the extra information he offers with music/recordings/photos is really interesting. More than three hours of a great tour that finishes very quickly and then you just want to go back and try another of Scott's tours. For non-English speakers -> even if your English is fluent be aware that all the tour is done in English and you have to give full attention to get all details. It is of a great help if you check some of the stories before, specially if you don't know about them (like the Menendez murders) to be able to follow. Thanks so much Scott !!

The tour guide made this trip well worth the time. He was very friendly and gave a lot of information about each site or event. He mentioned a new tour he is starting (movies sites) I think the new tour will be just as good.

Fun tour of LA
Sun, Nov 2, 08   1:00 PM emailterry Female 30-39 Local Individual
I took my friend on the Departed Tour as a birthday present, and it was entertaining and fun. I've taken other tours in the past, and this one had new things to offer. We did see a lot of great famous death sites. I liked that there is music and recordings to accompany some of the stories and places we went to, Our guide was great and the picture book is a nice touch. The only disappointment I had was there were a few places I thought we would go by that we didn't (last residence of M. Monroe, OJ murders, Phil Hartman, Wonderland Avenue, and the location of the Tate/Manson murders). Overall it was a fun experience made even better by going around halloween.

Tour guide (Richard) was very pleasant and had a lot of interesting information to share. He had a great sense of humor and made the 3 hours very fun and seem like no time at all. He also handled driving in busy Los Angeles traffic with ease and made me feel safe. As we are local, we are interested in taking more tours with this company and recommend this tour to all those interested in Hollywood history.

This was the 3rd time on this tour with Scott and enjoyed it as much as the 1st time. Don't leave the Los Angeles area without going on this tour!!! No other tour will compare.

good mix of light & dark tidbits
Fri, Oct 31, 08   1:00 PM elizabeth14 Female 30-39 Local Individual
a variety of weird things throughout the area are mentioned along the way so it wasn't as specifically morbid as i imagined. but it was interesting! learned about alive celeb's homes, dead celeb's homes, murder/death sites, movie/tv show locations & some just plain crazy places are pointed out. if it was JUST a death-related tour the 3 hours would go by slow- but they don't! and even in the inbetween moments there's informative books to look at, audio being played & a guide who'll answer your questions :)

Where's the beef?
Fri, Oct 31, 08   1:00 PM VecaTours Female 40-49 Local Family With Children
This was my first Hollywood tour and was excited. Unfortunately, I found the tour lacking on information and on incident locations. We spent a good deal of time in traffic, and I felt the tour was rushed because of the delay in traffic. Also, the view from within the van wasn't good. The tour guide would make reference to look up and ahead, but, being seated at the back of the van - we were unable to see much. I did, however, appreciate the few photos and sound that was provided for some of the incidents. This tour has much potential, but unfortunately at this stage its only potatoes without meat. Where's the beef? Sorry, I wish I could have given a much better review.
