| This is a DIFFERENT tour of Los Angeles, which can be enjoyed by a bored teenager or jaded LA traveler. Great way to see Hollywood and delved into the history of bizarre and well known lives of move stars. Personal narrated tour is enhanced with sounds and snippits of Hollywood. Passenger vans make this tour more personable and comfortable. Stops also give an opportunity for customers to stretch their legs and visit restrooms. Personal experience of narrator made it more interesting. He pointed out all kinds of sites and places giving his own experience. |

| I enjoyed the tour very much. As someone interested in music history it was really cool to see the places where it happened. I will say if you have young kids, some of the subject matter really isn't appropriate. |

| We have attended this tour over the years ever since it was the Graveline Tour in old Cadillac hearses and each time it is better and better!! The hosts are the most accurately knowledgeable and historically correct and able to answer even obscure questions about the famous and infamous. Little details, such as Marilyn Monroe's favorite flower shop (which is still in business!) and the Black Dahlia's favorite bar (also still open) add a great deal and open the opportunity for us in this decade to visit these places and pretend we are experiencing the past. Very up-to-date - included a visit to Michael Jackson's last residence. This tour is full of interesting tidbits about Beverly Hills, Hollywood and Los Angeles, many not known even to those who have lived here. Everyone in our group, young and old, enjoyed this tour very much!! |

| the tour itself was most enjoyable and informative.
the guide was amusing and knowledgeable
The but however relates to the mini-bus. I had the misfortune to have a seat with a wide bolster next to me and my view was markedly restricted. A mode of transport without such hindrances would be a real plus. |

| This was a very interesting tour about the dark and seedy side of L.A. We covered most of the suicides, drug overdoses and other means of untimely deaths that occured in the Hollywood area to many celebrities over the years. The tour guide Scott Michaels does a great job of describing what occured at each site visited. I would not reccomend the tour for young childred but all in all a great informative tour and was one of the highlights of our trip to SOCAL. |

| Not only a trip of the dearly departed, but also, tidbits of who lives here ,who lived there and what a famous person saw out her window are weaved throughout this well planned and organized tour of Hollywood's famous departed, I would strongly recommend this tour to all!
Tour guide is well informed and knows his stuff, it is obvious he loves Hollywood's history and has spend much time in his love of it gathering the facts and doing the research that enables the guests to power pack this tour with lots of little tidbits spread evenly throughout the tour. |

| It was so nice to have a guide who was involved and happy to show you what he knows. Scott is excited about trivia and loves to share his knowledge. It is wonderful to see someone with passion about his work..... I would recommend this tour.
The tour not only covered the tragic deaths but also Movie trivia, current Hollywood interests, and for people who like houses it was great, Scott might want to check out county records and find out what the taxes and assessed values are on some of the larger homes, it would be another insightful point to add. |

| This was an awesome experience. It was cool to see all of the out of the norm stuff! The experiences that were shared were awesome! I think the two coolest things were: #1 - The referral to the Parissiene Florist to see the Joe DiMaggio baseball. I almost missed my plane, would have been worth it. # 2 - The field from the movie Grease, my wife filpped at the rather poor pictures. Personally, I can't stand the movie, but I got brownie points.
Thanks!!!!

| We absolutely loved this tour, and would do it again in a heartbeat. While I was a bit disappointed not to have Scott as our tourguide, the disappointment faded quickly as it became apparent that Richard was absolutely wonderful. Very friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about Hollywood in general, not just in regards to celebrity deaths.
Also, the tour included a lot of interesting trivia and several points of interest that did not pertain to famous deaths, so it wasn't like it was all "gloom and doom" - and for the most part, even the parts that were were handled with respect, and a touch of humor. Great for someone who is fascinated with the mystique of celebrity death but not interested in being "grossed out."
My only complaint is this: I wish the tour was longer!! I would have gladly spent an entire day riding around Hollywood, checking out the scenes and locations of celebs' "last days" and other interesting locales, hearing any and all of the fascinating stories that Richard and Scott would be willing to share.
I wish we had more time in LA - I would love to do the Hollywood Movie Locations tour. I would also be very interested in the Manson tour - but that one I'd do with just my husband and myself - wouldn't bring the kids.
Thanks, Scott and Richard - for a wonderful time!! |
