| 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. |

| I was a little disappointed in the tour. I guess I was expecting more crime scenes. The OJ case was never touched upon not any of the major serial killers, ie Richard Ramirez, etc. What about the original Superman? I just think I would have liked to learn more about the tragic side of old Hollywood. |

| Great tour of Hollywood and Television History with locations of tragic historical hollywood events and locations. A few of the locations were difficult to view given how high up they were I had to put my head half way to the floor of the van. But this tour is well worth taking. The tour guide was very informative and funny and I highly reccommend it. |

| Went on this tour with my wife and 2 teenagers. The driver arrived promptly and the instructions on where to wait for pickup were clear. Driver was full of information, but dropped too many names on who he knew along the tour. Gave the impression that he was friends with many stars. If he were friends with that many you would think at least one would have acknowledged him along the way. Van was small and very hot. Difficult to see if you weren't by a window, and heaven help you if you are unluckly enough to sit next to someone larger. The tour itself was very interesting and the follow along book of photos helped to pass the time. I would recommend this tour soley for the places visited and the expertise of the driver. Ways to improve would be to beef up the air conditioning or get a little bit bigger van. They do allow you to bring soft drinks, but a nice touch would be complimentary water. |

| This tour was great. Scott was a great tour guide, he was very knowledgeable about everything he talked about. He added little tid-bits to make sure we knew what he was talking about. I never wanted the tour to end. I highly recommend it to everyone thats interested in the history of hollywood and hollywood actors that have passed away. |

| We booked this tour because my grown daughter was interested in this type of tour. The tour was very interesting, and we enjoyed it. As we passed many of the places where people had "departed" we also passed other sights which were brought to our attention. We took a general tour of LA the following day, and found that we had already seen many of the sights with Scott on the Dearly Departed tour.
Scott was extremely knowledgable about this topic. We were allowed to ask questions, and he answered them all willingly.
I understand that Scott is planning a new tour about filming sites of movies. The people on the tour will be shown a clip of a movie and will then see the actual filming location. I would love to go on this tour, and will definitely do so if I am in LA again. |
