Richard was very knowledgeable and fun. I asked him if he could take us by a couple other places I knew were close by and he did. I would recommend the tour to others.

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!

Exploring the dark side of Hollywood

I came from Chicago and was looking for an actual ghost tour this was a bit different, more of a combination of death, murder, overdoses, strange stories of celebritys arrests, where some movies were filmed, and other fun facts. I thought it was interesting and fun, but would have liked the bus to stop briefly at each location so that people could take photos off the bus. The only off the bus stop was a restroom break at the infamous George Micheal arrest site. We got lucky and got to see one celebrity as Woody Allen and his wife or girlfriend ? Who is his (former adopted daughter) passed by our bus, this happened purely by chance, but added to our enjoyment! However I would not reccomend this tour for young children, some of the murder details of the Manson murders and photos of Black Dalia would be very distrubing.

Steve called me on Friday to advise that the tour was leaving at 1, but I had mistakenly written down the tour information for Saturday. As I was in the middle of having lunch with an actor friend at Musso's when Steve called, I was unable to make the Friday tour.

Van cramped, limited knowledge of Hollywood

The guide didn't offer any tidbits of gossip or knowledge in between landmarks. He got angry at other drivers, swearing at them and actually stated to us "I hate people". He went on and on about how badly he is treated by the city and how they are out to get him by having no where to park his van where people can meet for the tour. He also went on and on about the street people and to watch out for them because they are dangerous. He was very judgemental of the mentally ill calling them all crazy. We have a son with mental illness who has never threatened anyone, so we did not appreciate this. This was before we started out for the tour, so all the negativity in the beginning put a damper on our spirits. Also, the seats in the van were so cramped we lucked out when 2 people didn't show up for the tour and my husband and I each had 2 seats which allowed me to take pictures with ease. I would not have had the room to even move if that hadn't happened and we are normal sized people. All and all, it was over priced and a disappointment.

Our tour guide, Scott, was very funny and very knowledgeable. My family and I had a great time. We all left the tour with more interesting facts about past and present movie stars.

We saw the tour recommended in a book, and thought it was something a little different. Scott was very knowledgeable, and gave a lot of information. He even drove us past Elvis's house because my husband had asked about it, and when we passed some young children with a lemonade stand in Beverly Hills, we made a fun ,unscheduled stop and made the children's day when we all bought drinks!!
