| We were very satisfied with our Dearly Departed tour and Scott's knowledge of all things L.A. I would highly recommend it and will definitely retake it again when in L.A. Also, picked up Scott's Helter Skelter video and have thoroughly enjoyed it. David, Ky |

| I do not take time for reviews, but for this tour ~ I was so impressed that I want to share my thoughts. This tour was MUCH more than we expected. The guide was extremely informative and knowledgeable. He obviously put alot of time in studying all the aspects of each location we visited and he put alot of himself into this tour. We not only went to see places of "departed" people but we also visited homes of alot of current actors and actresses. WE loved it and will take another such tour in the near future. FANTASTIC!!! |

| Went on the tour with my 17 yr old daughter and 2 adult nieces. We really loved it and enjoyed seeing places we had only read about or saw photos. Our tour guide was Rick, (i think) he was filled with loads of info to keep the tour interesting. One note: my niece left her camera on the bus and we contacted our guide via email and voice mail and he met us the following day to return it:) THANKS AGAIN!!! |

| My family was out from Chicago. I am a local, but decided to take my family from Chicago to see "a different side of Hollywood" and surrounding areas. It was very informational and Richard was very knowledgeable. Although there were a few spots where we were looking through the trees and could barely see what he was referring to, most of the 3+ hour tour was not like that. The reference books he pulls out with photos of how things were then is a plus because you get to compare how they looked then to how they look now; it is a very interesting tour. The audio recordings that includes 911 calls or the background information about the sites he shows you was very well put together. |

| It is always a pleasure to have someone else drive us around LA and point out the sites that are famous. Plus, we enjoy driving thru some of the neighborhoods that other wise we would not know existed. LA is such a diverse place and this tour certainly emphasizes that.
Richard, our driver, was very knowledgeable. He also did us the courtesy of waiting for us. We had given ourselves and hour and a half to drive from Orange County but ran into very heavy traffic for some reason (no accidents, no road closures, no construction, no special event). |

| I am a local, having lived in the LA area my entire life. Fascinating what one can learn about the city you live in. Things you had heard about, were aware of but not like this. This is a tour that is off the beaten path. It gives you a glimpse of city life that other tours do not offer. The tour guide is both hospitable and very knowledgeable. While it does cover the darker aspects of the city I have to admit I enjoyed it.
The length of the tour is perfect. Not to short, not to long. The money spent is well worth it. I highly recommend the tour. |

| 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. |

| Either an open top van or some kind of plexiglas bubble canopy would be nice to improve visibility for those on the opposite side of attractions. |

| I recently took the Dearly Departed tour. It was the best tour of the week (and we took a lot) he didnt take us to the same old hollywood and beverly hills we went to specific places and everywhere we went had a story. Scott was very professional and informative. He took time to tell us about what he was seeing he was organized and excited about his tours. He had handouts booklets and audio to go along with what we were doing. This tour was a reasonable price and i would reccomend it to anyone going to LA. |
