Outstanding Tour

We loved this tour, even though it was 100 degrees & traffic was terrible to us. (Well, it is LA, after all!) Richard was a great guide. We highly recommend.

This a must see LA tour... The tour guide is extremely knowledgeable and will allow you to learn so much about this part of California history. If you are at all interested in the Manson killing you can not miss this one...

Well Worth the Price and Worth the Time

This was an excellent tour if you are into the macabre, but even if you aren't there were plenty of Old Hollywood sites (Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio's Old House) and new Hollywood sites (bathroom that George Michael made famous). Without a doubt the best part of the tour was the tour guide, Scott Michaels. He is clearly passionate about his work and he goes out of his way to answer any question and is incredibly knowledge about old and new Hollywood. The only thing I would have liked, that was not included would have been a tour of the one of the cemeteries (although we did pass the Hollywood Forever Cemetery and were informed about who was interred), but an extra hour or so might be too much for some.

False Advertising

My husband and I went on the Dearly Departed tour early last week. While I was aware that the tour would enclude some viewing of stars homes, I did not realize that this would be the majority of the tour. As the name implies, I expected more of the darker side of Hollywood; deaths, ghosts, etc. I was sorely disappointed. If you are looking for a tour of mostly the Hollywood glitter and glamour, then this is the tour for you. If you are looking for a darker type of tour I would recommend you look elsewhere.

More on the Subject and Less on the Fluff

Unless you change the name to the Dearly Departed places and things in Los Angeles and Not use the word Tragical History Tour, it would make more sense. It was enjoyable to see the infamous things like the LiBianca Murders and I could even allow the George Michaels stop. But how does the Lucille Ball Soundstage, the Intolernace Set, Rob Zombie's House, The Osbourne Home, The Happy Days Home, Judy Garland's home, Mae West Apartments, George Burns home, Alta Loma Apartments or where James Dean laid in the street during filming have anything to do with "Tragical" was hard to comprenhend. It seemed as though you were advertizing for other tours and not giving me what I paid for. There must be more. Also, unless you are showing more than the LiBianca murder home, we have no need to hear Charles Manson's world vision on the loud speaker for more than the length it took us to look at the LiBianca house. That segment was overkill.

Really liked the tour

But didn't care for the bus. It was hard to see out the windows. We did however have crazy and fun conversation that was enlightening and was the core of the tour. I will do this tour again!

I really wanted to take a Hollywood tour that was a little different, and this was it. The tour guide was friendly and enthusiastic and he obviously knows a lot about the history and tragedy of Hollywood. There was a great mix of old and new, enough to keep anyone interested. I would (and have!) recommend this tour to everyone.

Wamba - what a tour!

My friend and I did not know what to expect but were completely open for this experience. We have to give some major kudos to our tour guide because we were so impressed by the amount of detail he provides to ensure we understand the intricacies’ of this tragic event. He has video, sound bites, photos and of course you are taken to the majority of the major sites. For anyone considering whether you should take part in this tour, my thought is that you won't be disappointed.

Money and Time Well Spent!

I lived in LA for 10 years and knew nothing of what I was told on the tour. A great job is done of blending audio, pictures and of course the actual sites. It was interesting and I was amazed at how our guide knew the answer to any and every question he was asked! You will not be disappointed if you do this tour, I would and will recommend this to everyone I know!

Fun & Entertaining

We really enjoyed this tour. (Especially the out of towners. Richard was an awesome guide and added much excitement and life to what otherwise might have been a very bland experience We especially enjoyed the Silverlake and outer lying areas just out of Hollywood and their history. I would very much recommend this tour and when you sign up, ask for RICHARD as your guide.

I absolutely recommend this tour for anyone who loves old Hollywood, new Hollywood and macabre information! We toured through the best haunts in Beverley Hills and Hollywood under the expert guidance of our tour guide. My kids and I came away with a great time and an admiration for our guide who knew his movie history down to a tee. I can't recommend this tour enough! Enjoy!

Best comprehensive tour of Hollywood

Scott was awesome...he threw in contemporary Hollywood trivia throughout the tour and even pointed out some Hollywood homes. We got a lot more than we even thought we would. If you love getting the scoop on things, past or present, go on this tour. So much fun!

Dearly Departed is the tour to beat
Thu, Nov 12  1:00 PM jvasko Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
We had an excellent time on the Dearly Department tour given by our tour guide Richard. He was a great tour guide and answered all of our questions and provided the inside story we were all looking for. Dearly Departed is the tour I recommend for visitors who want to approach Hollywood with the sense of humor and nostalgia. My only complaint was that the air conditioning was too cold. Other than that, A+
