| I especially liked the "before" and "after" photo books that were provided so we could see the various locations as they were then, and compare them to present day -- many had changed very little. Our guide provided a wealth of information and fascinating history -- it was also a great way to view some beautiful Hollywood estates and wonderful older neighborhoods in the LA area. | ||||||

Enthusiastically Recommended: Dearly Departed Tour

| This was my second time on the tour, I took my nephew a few years ago and I thought it was a good bet to take a guest from out of town. And it was! I think there was more detail in the first tour. It seemed there was more places being pointed out, Like: the story of Bela Lugosi's funeral where it's said the driver lost control and regained it only after it passed the cigar shop where he bought stogies on Hollywood Blvd. And the site of the Ambassador Hotel. The infamous clubs in that area as well. And a little about Thelma Todd, the Derby, Fatty Arbuckle, The Marx Brothers. But it's still a very cool ride! And even though the passenger sitting behind was rude, it didn't ruin the tour for me or my guest. Maybe the tour guide should ask for folks to chill out and relax more. Like don't sing to the music broadcast in the bus cabin! It's also embarrassing to watch mid-west tourists attempt to out-trivia the tour guide. In any event, I'll be taking someone else on it again in the near future! It appeals to the morbid curiosity in us all not unlike the Hollywood Babylon books. | ||||||

| I am from LA and took a couple friends from Rhode Island on this tour. I figured it would be easier than me trying to do a flimsy tour myself. I dont know if I learned more or they did! Places I have passed for 20 years and had NO idea. Scotts knowledge and love for Hollywood was enormously enjoyable, and I have already recommended this tour to locals AND visiting relatives alike. Thanks for all your good work! Leia Nicholson PS: bad points: *Airconditioning /airflow was very bad. It was an exceptionally hot day and was a bit uncomfortable. *tour was a tad too long. *end of tour there was quite a lull. No music no info. just driving and quiet. Need to fill that gap | ||||||

| My family and I came out from the Inland Empire...I must say a trip well spent!! I cannot believe places that I have driven by or been too in the past in Hollywood there is soooo much history behind and around it!! Our Driver Richard was very nice and friendly..he was willing to give us additional info. The handouts and audio gave the Tour a more "Real" vibe. I will definitely do this Tour again....!! Thanks again!! | ||||||

| Really like the format. Sound clips and photo's were a real plus. Would have been even cooler if there were a few video clips. Thanks | ||||||

| This tour is just the greatest. I would recommend it to anyone that wants to go off the beaten path of normal "Hollywood" tours. Scott has so much knowledge about the who, where and what. He makes the tour so interesting. | ||||||

| Scott Michaels is the best tour guide ever! If you have even a slight interest in Hollywood or Helter Skelter, these tours will blow you away! We highly recommend the Dearly Departed tours---Helter Skelter and Tragic Hollywood History! | ||||||

If only there was a flashlight tour...

| First off, I have to admit I was a bit concerned as Scott Michaels was not the one giving the tour as the website promoted, however, the gentleman who did give us the tour was funny, comfortable, knowledgeable and a hoot and a half. I can't remember his name now, sorry. My Husband and I were greatly looking forward to this tour for a week and it was every bit as fun as we hoped it'd be. Considering it was over 3 hours, the time just flew right by. If only the tour was offered as a flashlight tour... I will definitely be telling all of my friends and family about it. Thank you for having this! I just wish it were longer. | ||||||

| My aunt, a friend and I took both tours on Sunday, 9-28-08., Helter Skelter and Tragic Hollywood History. We thoroughly enjoyed them and would highly recommend them to anyone who is in Hollywood. In fact, it's worth a special trip to take the tours! Scott Michaels knows his stuff. It was time well spent! | ||||||
