| The dearly departed tour was very entertaining. We all enjoyed the ride around hollywood and loved seeing all the historical memories and some recent events. Our group felt it was worth every penny. We liked it so much that we will be going on another tour soon. (The Helter Skelter tour)... I rate this tour Highly recommended!!! | ||||||

| I travelled to L.A. to.... Go on a cruise, and experience this tour. This tour was way better than the cruise. Thanks Scott for a very informative, and fascinating trip. I really feel like I got to know about the past, present, and future of Hollywood, and it's surrounding area's. Highly recomend this for everyone from locals' to tourists. Really gives you a sense of the reality of L.A., and less about the mistique | ||||||

| My 12-year old daughter and I went on a recent Saturday morning. The guide was very well spoken and added just enough humor to balance out all of Hollywood's dark history. He included early Hollywood and recent events. Great stuff! Later in the week we recommended the tour to friends who live in L.A. | ||||||

| My wife and I did not feel like we were on a tour but more like we were out with friends. Scott knew his stuff and kept it entertaining. I would suggest varied tours with different focuses. We'd take them all then. | ||||||

| This is a must see for anyone interested in celebrity trivia. Scott Michaels is a wealth of information on Hollywood history. It was a great time! | ||||||

| In 3 and a half hours, Scott managed to cram in so many places of interest in and around Hollywood. My favourite was seeing the Halloween house and the Grease playground. Thumbs up for a great tour | ||||||

kinda interesting, but overpriced.

| i found the tour to be a little too long for the amount of information/sites there were to see. i also think it was too pricey, i would value it at $25, 1/2 of what it cost. seeing the houses of the LaBianca's and the site where Sharon Tate's house was were the highlights, but driving down through the canyon to see the front of the house where a gun was found seemed like a time waster and a filler. seeing it from the road gave you the point enough. too many of these made you want the tour to end. i would have liked more information, audio, or something on Manson himself. i did find the driver very informed on Hollywood history. if your a big Manson fanatic, go for it. if you have mild to moderate interest, find the addresses of the two locations and take yourself. | ||||||

| Scott has organised the tour very well so that you see 3 murder sites and other places of interest connected to the Manson killings. The tour was very interesting and educational and in no way seeks to glamorise the murderers | ||||||

Fascinating and Provocative!

| Dearly Departed Tours is an absorbing 3.5 hour trek through Hollywood's past and present, focusing on the the more lurid aspects of celebrity deaths, murders, suicides, and scandals. Tour guide Scott is an engaging host who really knows his stuff. From the Black Dahlia murder to the Manson family grisliness, he provides pointed insight and detail while showing you the infamous sights around town. From Bela Lugosi to Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan. From Howard Hughes to Hugh Grant's hooker! From Eddie Murphy's tranny to the actual bathroom where George Michael was busted! Not all of it is gruesome and salacious. Any fan of music and movies will be intrigued by this tour which cruises down Sunset Strip and points out historic rock and music trivia. From Janis and Jim to the Ramones, it's all here. Highly recommended!! | ||||||

Take the tour!

| Scott our guide was outstanding. Obviously extremely knowledgeable and subjects well researched. Personable and friendly. Nice enough to do the tour with only 3 passengers. Would have understood a cancellation given the price of gas. 95% of the tour is riding in the van listening to Scott's well done narrative with sound clips. My personal preference would be to hit fewer spots and get out of the van more often to soak up the history on site. Not real practical in LA however. Only one stop out of the van for a "hands on" experience--take the tour and you'll get the pun. So many points of interest on the tour go by so fast that it starts to become a blur. All the sights on the tour were things you could see if you did a little homework and drove around on your own. The only suggestion would be to try to negotiate access to a few places the general public ordinarily cannot go-that would increase the interest level and be worth any extra tour cost. | ||||||

| I was so happy with everything... we were running late and I called - the tour guide waited for us and let me grab some water before we left. I went to work and told everyone about it and totally reccommended it! Ive lived locally all of my life and never got the view of hollywood like that! I really hope that there are more tours like that in the works! thanks again | ||||||
