| My teen daughter and I took this tour as part of our LA getaway. We both thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our guide, Richard, was extremely knowledgeable about Hollywood.
Richard played music, 911 tapes, and spoke throughout the tour keeping our interest for the entire 3 1/2 hours! There was some humor, some horror, and some macabre. There was also time for photos. I highly recommend this tour and look forward to returning to California to do another tour with Dearly Departed. An awesome experience and well worth the time. |

| The tour was very enjoyable. Perfect amount of time and a great tour guide. Was hoping for a little more of the dark side of Hollywood as advertised but all and all a very enjoyable experience. |

| The tour was very informative and entertaining. The tour guide (Richard) really knew his stuff, was very cordial, and answered all questions. The only negative was that in the extreme heat, the air conditioning was inefficient. The van was a little stuffy, but tolerable. |

| The only disappointment we had was that we did not go by the house that the Sharon Tate murders were committed. I know it has been torn down and rebuilt but we would have liked to drive by.
We enjoyed the tour tremendously and would definitely recommend it to anyone. |

| The van was uncomfortable. We were cramped together. It would have been nice to know the George Michaels stop was the only restroom stop. I thought he was giving us the photo books and took no pictures because they were in the books. We passed the Hollywood sign so quick we could not take photos anyway. The sites were great and the driver was very informative. The tour needs a more comfortable vehicle and some clarity. I would still recommend it. |

| My husband and I along with out 2 children (17 & 19) loved this tour. Scott was great and he had lots of information. It was the highlight of our vacation. Its very nice because there arent too many people on the bus with you. The book that Scott provides for you is great. It really helps you see things more clearly and helps you if you didnt know alot about that specific crime. Scot was also very helpful about goivng us ideas about other things to do in the area. If we ever visit L.A. again this tour will be at the top of out "do agian" list. |

| 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. |

| 1. More air conditioning for the couple behind the driver
2. 75% of the attractions were on the left side of the van and we sat on the right side
3. Visability could have been better; too bad the windows weren't larger
4. I would have liked to take home some of the pictures that were in the binders instead of the police report.
All in all we loved the tour. Our driver was fantastic. We highly recommend it. |

| If you are at all interested in the death of notables in the LA/ Hollywood area, this trip is a must.
It takes you on the famous & not so famous celebrities places of not only death, but unique happenings in their life.
The tour host was very knowledable and gracious, and the cost was extremely reasonable.
I would highly recommend this tour. |
