Dearly Departed's Hollywood Tragical History Tour

This was a great tour. It was our first time in LA and we opted for this instead of one of the many star home tours. This was for more personal, funnier and just a tiny bit darker. Being movie fans made it all the more interesting - my wife loved the Pretty Woman fire escape! Go and do it!

The tour guide NEEDS to keep dialoge going all during the tour. There was too much quite time when he could have bantered throughout the tour. There are always things to talk about in Hollywood - the homes, the folklore, the rumors, the celebrities. He should take other tours to see how they keep the guests enthralled. He was very nice but much too quiet. Also, I expected more on old Hollywood and the deceased. My biggest disappointment was the fact that we drove right by the cemetary and never drove in! The tape telling me who was buried there didn't do the trick!

i had a very good time taking the dearly departed tour. I was very excited, counting down the days til the tour. I was over all pleased, yet my friends were some what disappointed. i do agree with them in some aspects. i wanted to see the OJ , Phil spector, marvin gaye, judith barsi homes,along where the black dalias body was found, rather than the house she was tortured in, but sadly they were not on the tour. overall it was quite fun and i did enjoy and would take it again!

MY FAMILY AND I ATTENDED THE DEARLY DEPARTED TOUR RECENTLY AND IT WAS THE MOST ENTERTAINING TOUR THAT WE HAVE BEEN ON. IT WAS EXCITING TO LEARN ALL OF THE WELL-KNOWN STORIES AND OBSCURE SCANDALS THAT HAVE BECOME APART OF HOLLYWOOD. IT WAS ALSO GREAT TO SEE MOVIE LOCATIONS AND HOMES OF THE STARS, AS WELL. OUR TOUR GUIDE RICHARD WAS A BLAST. HE WAS KIND, FUNNY, AND GAVE ALL A GREAT TOUR, HE WAS ALSO VERY ACCOMODATING TO ALL OF US. THIS IS AN AMAZING TOUR OF HOLLYWOOD AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE VISITING THE LOS ANGELES AREA. THANK YOU DEARLY DEPARTED TOURS FOR A GREAT TIME!

For those who are into offbeat Hollywood stuff, in addition to the "Dearly Departed", this tour is for you. I enjoyed this one more than I would have enjoyed all the mainstream Hollywood tours because of the various unusual haunts visited. I was also pleased at some of the things that weren't advertised, such as the Tate mansion from TV's "Soap" and George Burns' former home, etc. The tour also saved me the time and trouble of finding many Hollywood landmarks like CBS Television City, Paramount Studios and Ozzy Osbourne's former home. A great way to spend a morning or afternoon.

While in LA on business I had 1 day free. I was by myself so I booked a tour.As it turned out, I was the only person on the tour. Richard did an incredible job. I enjoyed the tour so much I have told everyone I've run into, The next time I'm in LA I will absolutely book another tour,,maybe the same one..Definately worth the money..

Great tour guide, would have liked to have seen Mariyn's death house.

Dearly Departed Tours is a must for all who visit Hollywood. Scott is a terrific guide that takes his time and explains everything. The sites he shows one would never find, and the stories and history are unforgettable. Thank you Scott, we will be back for sure. Chuck, Barbara and Melanie (San Ramon, CA)

This is the third time I've been on the tour, so I must like it! This particular tour was the best yet.

This tour is awesome!! I HIGHLY recommend it. The knowledge Scott has and the stories and descriptions. There is alot to take in on this tour...I found myself more than once saying WOW! My daughter really enjoyed it too and she only went so I wouldn't be alone!! We both would take it again and again!!
