| The Dearly Departed tour was great. We had such fun and the added commentary/music/911 calls and picture books make it that much more interesting. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed and would highly recommend as a different way to see the area. |

| I truly enjoyed this tour. It was great to find a tour that integrated viewing star home but with a dark and intriguing twist. Thank for a positive experience. Laura |

| 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! |

| My husband and I absolutely loved this tour! Everything about it was exceptional. It struck the perfect balance between obscure/cult/underground places/people/events in Hollywood with more well-known celebrities/places/events. The driver was nice, knowledgable and we really like how he spoke most of the time, but also incorporated audio commentary and music, I mean playing some of Manson's music and drawing the connection with the Beach Boys?! Genius! We stayed in LA a few days and were feeling a bit soured on our experience of the city but taking this tour turned that all around for us, you got a real sense of neighborhoods and Hollywood history, both good and bad, I walked away feeling like I really knew the town. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone, it's an unforgettable, educational and just totally fun experience! |

| Scott is a great guy. Very friendly and outgoing. The most impressive thing is his knowledge on Hollywood. WOW!! I'm signing up for the Helter Skelter tour next... |

| Just like the roller coaster ride at an amusement park, I wanted to get right back in line and do it again! Our guide Scott was not only knowledgable but displayed a genuine interest in the history and the people he told us about. Each of us was handed an album of vintage photos of the people and locations we visited, which added to the experience of "being there". I was excited to see a picture of Bette Davis standing in front of the "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane" house, and recognize the house in front of me as the same one in the picture. Hearing a recording of the police call from the Mendendez brothers while sitting in front of the house where they murdered their parents was erie. I got more detailed information than I expected, plus questions were welcomed and answered. I will plan to take some of the other tours the next time I visit. |

| The tour guide was great!! He has a wealth of knowledge of the places he drives past that are part of the tour as well as tid bits of information on the city in general. He also seems to be committed to continually increasing this database of knowledge. There are not very many stops where the group is able to exit the 'buggy' in order to look around, but given the nature of the tour people that presently live in these places wouldn't want multiple groups of people snooping around. My friend and I had a blast; we are very intrigued by these kinds of stories and we were greatly satisfied. I would recommend any tour this particular tour guide is heading up! |

| The tour crams a huge amount of information. Scott never stops and the tour is as much an insight into his love of most things Hollywood as well as the people, the buildings and their stories. It is very funny most of the time whilst shocking and disturbing on other occasions. It is historical with points of interest going back to activities in the 1920s right up to present day. Real life and death is seamlessly blended with life on the silver screen. Scott really speaks his mind and that really suited me as I have a similar set of values. Because of this I would not recommend the tour to Scientologists! As well as Scott's commentary some recordings are played that intensify the experience. In the next few months Scott will roll out a new tour which will include audio-visual material. I wish him all the best and when next in Los Angeles I will certainly sign up for the new tour.

Excellent Tour Leader and Something Different

| An excellent combination of the off beat and more conventional Hollywood/Beverly Hills "celebrity" tours. Tour designer and Leader provides great detail and effective use of Police records and photos to add depth to the experience. Perhaps a little too much time spent in the vehicle : some more time on foot would be great if possible to organise. |
