| Scott Michael's, the tour guide, has a natural warm comedic wit as he entertains you for a good 3-1/2+ hours on the Dearly Departed Tour. Having grown up on a diet of 1950s movies, tv, movie stars, history of Hollywood, monster movies. the 60s and punk rock music, I highly recommend this trip. It's worth every penny. The tour covers the stars of long ago up to the current sometimes comic DWIs and traffic accidents of today. So on your next trip to Disneyland, put the Dearly Departed Tour on the top of your MUST DO list! We will be doing this tour again!

| The Dearly Departed Tour is worth every penny. Tourguide Scott is funny and informative. If you dig the "dark" side of Hollywood history, you'll love this tour. |

| When I first boarded the bus with my friend, Scott asked us if we would mind waiting for a party that was late. Although I didn't understand this, given the strict policy on the website, I was not in the majority, so we were delayed. I also had talked to Scott about a particular incidence, at a particular building. The death of Diane Linkletter at Shoreham Towers, where I happen to live! Although Scott seemed knowledgeable about the incident, by the time we drove by Shoreham Towers, he seemed to be in a hurry, and didn't even mention the incident, which I think is one of the more interesting mysterious deaths around. I believe Scott was trying to make up for lost time due to the lateness of other participants. It really felt like a slight, and a missed opportunity to speak about a fascinating "death". As this tour bills itself as a tour of famous murders, mysterioius deaths, I would suggest more emphasis on this publisized aspect of the tour. The "George Michael Memorial Park", stop was interesting, but took a long time and had nothing to do with famous homicides/suicides.
Sincerely,
John |

| Scott knows his city and all the dirt, secrets and history of it. He enjoys sharing it and hearing about his customers stories and inputs. And he is very personable, which made the tour that much more to enjoy. I would highly recommend it if you have any interest in the history of crimes and deaths of LA and the surrounding area, this is the tour to take. The van was very comfortable to ride in and it was nice being in a small group in a smaller vehicle that could be maneuvered around the city quite easily. Thank you Scott for sharing what you take to heart. Chuck and Donna from Salem, Oregon. |

| Just the concept of the tour was exciting. The information was fantastic and the tour guide drives smooth and safely. So much information, can't remember all of it.
The tour guide was so freindly and very funny. I would recommend this tour to anyone who lives anywhere. I live in California for 30 years and this was one of the most exciting excursions I can add to my list. Its fun to do a tourist adventure in your own city. |
