unique look at local history
Sun, Sep 7, 08   1:00 PM Mikeb63 Male 40-49 Local Family With Children
This tour is hard to book and is almost always sold out. I got fortunate and was able to get on board. The tour was fantastic and "Richard" the guide was very knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour to anyone who likes the seedy and sorid side of history. LA is filled with these tales of woe. It was a fun day and would do it again.

The high point of our "vacation"
Wed, Sep 3, 08   1:00 PM tommoran Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
You should understand that I have a severe attention deficient disorder and would rather stick a needle my eye than go on a tour bus. But I have been married for 28 years to the same woman and she has put up with me (and my mental problems), so it is only right that I make some compromises. From beginning to end, I would spellbound by Scott. He is an incredible source of information. He is a very interesting and dynamic individual. It was a small group in his van (six of us... it might have been eight). Each story and each stop was fascinating. Some of the images in his booklets (not meant for children) left me speechless. I was miserable the entire vacation except for the 3 hours and 20 minutes we spent in Scott's van. I understand he is planning a "Hollywood Movie Tour" .... if my wife drags me on another "vacation" I hope to get it included.

Lots of fun for a fellow death hag

Richard was very knowledgeable and fun. I asked him if he could take us by a couple other places I knew were close by and he did. I would recommend the tour to others.

I absolutely recommend this tour for anyone who loves old Hollywood, new Hollywood and macabre information! We toured through the best haunts in Beverley Hills and Hollywood under the expert guidance of our tour guide. My kids and I came away with a great time and an admiration for our guide who knew his movie history down to a tee. I can't recommend this tour enough! Enjoy!

Exploring the dark side of Hollywood
Sat, Aug 30, 08   1:00 PM showcat Female 40-49 Combination Group of Friends
I came from Chicago and was looking for an actual ghost tour this was a bit different, more of a combination of death, murder, overdoses, strange stories of celebritys arrests, where some movies were filmed, and other fun facts. I thought it was interesting and fun, but would have liked the bus to stop briefly at each location so that people could take photos off the bus. The only off the bus stop was a restroom break at the infamous George Micheal arrest site. We got lucky and got to see one celebrity as Woody Allen and his wife or girlfriend ? Who is his (former adopted daughter) passed by our bus, this happened purely by chance, but added to our enjoyment! However I would not reccomend this tour for young children, some of the murder details of the Manson murders and photos of Black Dalia would be very distrubing.

Couldn't go

Steve called me on Friday to advise that the tour was leaving at 1, but I had mistakenly written down the tour information for Saturday. As I was in the middle of having lunch with an actor friend at Musso's when Steve called, I was unable to make the Friday tour.

Van cramped, limited knowledge of Hollywood
Wed, Aug 27, 08   12:00 PM LindaErtmann Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
The guide didn't offer any tidbits of gossip or knowledge in between landmarks. He got angry at other drivers, swearing at them and actually stated to us "I hate people". He went on and on about how badly he is treated by the city and how they are out to get him by having no where to park his van where people can meet for the tour. He also went on and on about the street people and to watch out for them because they are dangerous. He was very judgemental of the mentally ill calling them all crazy. We have a son with mental illness who has never threatened anyone, so we did not appreciate this. This was before we started out for the tour, so all the negativity in the beginning put a damper on our spirits. Also, the seats in the van were so cramped we lucked out when 2 people didn't show up for the tour and my husband and I each had 2 seats which allowed me to take pictures with ease. I would not have had the room to even move if that hadn't happened and we are normal sized people. All and all, it was over priced and a disappointment.

Our tour guide, Scott, was very funny and very knowledgeable. My family and I had a great time. We all left the tour with more interesting facts about past and present movie stars.

Very interesting!
Sun, Aug 24, 08   1:00 PM Jeannine11 Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We saw the tour recommended in a book, and thought it was something a little different. Scott was very knowledgeable, and gave a lot of information. He even drove us past Elvis's house because my husband had asked about it, and when we passed some young children with a lemonade stand in Beverly Hills, we made a fun ,unscheduled stop and made the children's day when we all bought drinks!!

The Best Tour Hollywood Has to Offer
Sun, Aug 24, 08   9:30 AM barbara13 Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
Dearly Departed Tours is a must for all who visit Hollywood. Scott is a terrific guide that takes his time and explains everything. The sites he shows one would never find, and the stories and history are unforgettable. Thank you Scott, we will be back for sure. Chuck, Barbara and Melanie (San Ramon, CA)

Loved every minute

While in LA on business I had 1 day free. I was by myself so I booked a tour.As it turned out, I was the only person on the tour. Richard did an incredible job. I enjoyed the tour so much I have told everyone I've run into, The next time I'm in LA I will absolutely book another tour,,maybe the same one..Definately worth the money..
