Dearly Departed's Hollywood Tragical History Tour

The Tour was comprehensive, interesting and fun. The car was air conditioned and very comfortable -- a real treat on a hot summer day. We all recommend the tour highly.

We didn't even visit the cemetery.

This was my first Hollywood tour and was excited. Unfortunately, I found the tour lacking on information and on incident locations. We spent a good deal of time in traffic, and I felt the tour was rushed because of the delay in traffic. Also, the view from within the van wasn't good. The tour guide would make reference to look up and ahead, but, being seated at the back of the van - we were unable to see much. I did, however, appreciate the few photos and sound that was provided for some of the incidents. This tour has much potential, but unfortunately at this stage its only potatoes without meat. Where's the beef? Sorry, I wish I could have given a much better review.

This is the second time I have surprised a friend for their Birthday by taking them on the Dearly Departed Tour. It is so much fun (in a creepy way) that I recommend it to anyone who enjoys Hollywood trivia, drama and scandal! Brian our tour guide was amazing! He knew everything about everything, and had the best sense of humor. He made the tour so personal, informative and just absolutely great. The Dearly Departed Tour is so clever and different, it's pure genius!

i have wanted to go on this tour for some time, and i have to say it was even more fun than i thought. so much information, great locations. Scott the tour guide was amazingly knowledgeable and his presentation was great. i would highly reccommend this tour.

The tour ended up being much more than just tragical history. Our tour guide Dave was very sweet and super informative and willing to answer any questions. We spent close to three hours going all around and got to see some amazing stuff. My favorite part being the witches cottage house, be sure to ask about it! Next time I'm in LA I'll be sure to do te Helter Skelter tour. Money well spent!

I took the Dearly Departed Tour with Scott Michaels on a Saturday afternoon, and it was wonderful. Professional, appropriate stops, illustrated booklets for everyone on board to reinforce the tour, and almost an extra hour in time. The detail was excellent, the van comfortable, and Scott was extremely personable and thoughtful. He engaged all of us and was very knowledgeable about not only the gruesome sights but LA and Hollywood history in general. I liked it so much I booked a private tour to Hollywood Forever Cemetery, which was the highlight of my trip. Absolutely wonderful.

This was better than I expected it would be! Tour guide was very informative and entertaining! I will be back with my teenage kids next time we are in town!!

I would definitely recommend this tour. The tour guide was great, learned lots of things I didn't know even being a local.

You need to have a sense of humor to do a job like this & even though this tour shows the dark side of Hollywood, our tour guide was well informed & made the tour fun. Looking forward to reserving more tours with this company in the near future.
