| Went on the tour for the second time with friends and everyone who went before commented that they enjoyed it more this time. Interesting, because the material was essentially the same and had the same guide. I think this is what make the tour very good is that interest didn't wane. So would highly recommend this tour!!!!!!!! |

| Definitely worth doing. Ask questions about places that interest you- your guide is super informed about the history & gossip around Hollywood town |

| I really wanted to take a Hollywood tour that was a little different, and this was it. The tour guide was friendly and enthusiastic and he obviously knows a lot about the history and tragedy of Hollywood. There was a great mix of old and new, enough to keep anyone interested. I would (and have!) recommend this tour to everyone. |

| For anyone with any interest in the darker side of Hollywood you've got to take the tour. Scott is super-knowledgeable and makes for an entertaining and fact-filled voyage as he recounts tales of the Hollywood famous and infamous. Overall a great experience that I'd do again! |

| This year, my birthday fell on Easter sunday. My friend had suggested we try one of the haunted hollywood tours and you were highly recommended on yelp. I was thrilled to find you were still giving a tour on this day when many businesses are closed.
We LOVED LOVED LOVED the tour. our guide was fabulous (wish i could remember is name!). i appreciated all his insider info, we could tell how much he loved the city and all it's secrets and scandals. he made the tour fun and funny which was nice because some of the stops were pretty morbid. of course that's why we took the tour in the first place, but it was nice to have the grisley death scenes peppered with stops like the bathroom where george michaels was arrested for lewd behavior and the hamburger joint where hugh grant picked up divine brown. also lovely to drive through hancock park. my husband and i live close by so it was great to find out who our celebrity neighbors are.
next time we want to do the helter skelter tour. this was a birthday i will never forget and will recommend the tour to everyone we know. |

| I went in April for my 30th. Birthday and it was one of the best and informative tours I have ever been on. Our Director of Undertaking knew a lot of history and had a lot of his own personal experiences that he shared with us, which added some more entertainment to our trip. The van was comfortable and our Director always checked to make sure it maintained a nice temerature for everyone aboard. He let us know how much longer the tour would be along the way, and toward the end, had everyone sing "Happy Birthday" to me. This was one experience I will never forget and will encourage others to do. I plan to do another myself when I get the chance. Thanks a lot! -Nicole |

| If you are even just remotely interested in Hollywood history, you will enjoy this tour. It is factual, substantiated, and fascinating. We did a limo tour of the stars homes during this trip too (complete waste of money.) Skip all those - I estimate that 75% of what we were told on that tour was bull&$#%. This tour was cheaper, longer, much more interesting. Your guide actually knows his stuff & he has lots of stories to share. My husband - not remotely interested in Hollywood history - he even loved this tour. He couldn't shut up about it after we got home. You won't be disappointed!
Quick warning though - some of the stories/photos are quite graphic so may not be suitable for young children.
We will definitely do another Dearly Departed Tour on our next visit to Los Angeles. |

| My daughter and I had a wonderful time on the Dearly Departed Tours. Our guide was funny and interesting and we look forward to returning to the Manson Murder tour. |
