Best Hollywood Tour Ever!!!
Fri, Oct 2  1:00 PM tsharkey Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Scott does an amazing job recounting Hollywood's sordid side! Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about the sights and stories of Hollywood's golden era, but he also knows so much about today's current events. His audio recordings and accompanying photographic "look-book" really added to the experience. My only regret is that I was short on time and not able to take a 2nd tour with Scott. Next time I'm in LA, I'm going on the Hollywood locations tour!

This ain't your granny's bus tour of LA- THANK GOD

I have always wanted to take this tour and it was absolutely one of the most fun and informative tours I have experienced, and we have taken tours from here to Australia. We recently moved to SoCal but were not familiar with LA/Hollywood, and the tour took us places and showed us things we would have never found on our own. True, the tour showed many places associated with tragic/violent events but that was not the main focus and we also saw quite a lot of the area including movie stars' homes, studios, film locations,etc. Scott obviously loves what he is doing and his enthusiasm - and incredible wealth of information, Hollywood lore, and good old fashioned gossip- makes for a high energy, fun filled afternoon. How many Hollywood tours include the tearoom where George Michael got arrested for soliciting - and includes a copy of the police report? We definitely plan to check out other tours with Scott and I would repeat this tour as well. A tip- as the tour starts in the Farmers Market, we got there early, got a good parking place, had a delicious breakfast at Du-Par's, and checked out the market before the tour.

Enjoyed this tour

This tour is true to it's title - it does take you on a tour of the "departed". however it also includes other homes, etc of the stars which I liked (the orphanage Marilyn Monroe lived at). Steve, the tour guide, was great. He was enthusasitc but not too much so. Also if you tell him who/what you like he'll make a point of showing you something on the tour regarding this if it's near where you are. For instance I am a huge entourage fan and he pointed out where Jeremy Piven lived since we were driving through that neighboorhood. there is also a short guide book with photographs that accompanies the tour. I thought this added to the experience.

Loved the tour and guide!
Thu, Oct 1  1:00 PM LINDAMARQUEZ Female 50-59 Local Group of Friends
We loved the tour. We heard interesting, historical facts regarding celebrities and notable people. When I got home I did further research and it seems that everything we heard on the tour was verified on the internet. Our guide, Steve M, was knowledgeable and forthcoming; he was friendly and fun and made sure that we were comfortable at all times. There were plenty of rest stops and a chance for refreshments. I enjoyed the visual aids provided to us for use during the tour, the notebook with photos enhanced the experience. We always have family and friends visiting from out of town, I would recommend that they take this tour. I would even take it, again, with them.

Fabulous

This tour was excellent. It encompassed much detail and obscure facts along with a rather entertaining view of the famous and their departures and those made famous by "departing". For someone not sure which of the many tours out there to select, you would do well by selecting this particular tour. It had a little bit of everything. You are sure to enjoy!

Very enlightening and informative.
Sun, Sep 27  1:00 PM sheritx45 Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our tour host was very friendly, funny and extremely knowledgeable. Everything went very smoothly. The only change I would make is the type of tour bus. Several people on our group were unable to take pictures due to the windows. The bus without the roof, such as the double decker, would be perfect. Bathroom breaks were also welcomed and spaced at good intervals. We will be definitely being taking this tour again when we make another visit. My daughter is a shopaholic and said you should do a shopping tour, such as the fashion district, Rodeo drive etc. lol. I told her I would pass it on.

Driver was late because of a flat and was very apologetic. This tour was informative. We saw more than just what was expected. Guide was knowledgable about many different areas and answered all our questions.

Absolutely Great Tour
Thu, Sep 24  10:00 AM ahenneberger Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
This tour is so much fun - not only do you go to many places where folks met their untimely deaths - other stars homes are also pointed out along the way. The tour guide was VERY well versed on not only the untimely deaths but also a wealth of info on other stars homes and the areas history. I recommend this tour to anyone who is looking for a Hollywood tour - as it is a great deal of fun and not your standard "canned tour" offered by other operators.

My husband and I along with our daughter and her husband really enjoyed the Dearly Departed Tour. Scott was very knowledgeable and he made the tour very interesting. He went out of his way to make us comfortable on an extremely hot day. We highly recommend this tour and hope in the future to take his others. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to LA.

Great tour, very personal (even though we were only two on our tour)...tour guide was amazing and very informative. The tour itself was entertaining, and a good mix of old and more recent events. Recommended for anyone with a nostalgia love for hollywood and celebrities!

TAKE THIS TOUR!
Sun, Sep 20  1:00 PM BUGBABE Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
What an informative and fun trip! Richard knows the secrets of Hollywood and isn't afraid to tell them. My only complaint is that 3.5 hours isn't enough. I would take the tour again in the future and you should, too.

Tour Guide Scott was excellent!

The tour was well worth it. So much information was provided and we loved seeing areas that you normally wouldn't drive yourself. Scott was very thorough and personable. We are definately planning another tour in a few months.

Scott is great and friendly! Lots of factoids.
Thu, Sep 17  1:00 PM kmyung Female 30-39 Local Group of Friends
I had a fun time and thought Scott gave everyone a lot of attention and made the tour fun. I would definitely recommend this to friends who have visitors in town. I enjoyed learning about my own neighborhood! Downside - The parking at the Grove ends up adding to the cost.
