| The tour was great! It covered a lot of info and seemed to go pretty quickly. The driver was very knowledgeable. There were many things covered in the tour, not just crime scenes or places where people died. We saw quite a few homes of "living" stars. There were audio bits that were played that also added to the tour. A notebook with some pictures was also handed out to look at during the tour (had to hand them back in at the end of the tour). I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour. The only thing I might suggest is that they give you a handout that you can keep (besides the George Michael arrest record). We took several pictures of homes and now can't remember whose homes are in the pictures! Maybe a handy list of addresses or pictures of specific homes would be useful. Otherwise, I say "Take the tour!" | ||||||

| Scott did a great job. His presentation were not " canned" and they made me feel like I was going for a ride with a friend who was just gossipping about the area. He really encourages questions which more then likely helps the tour evolve. I have his magnet in my collection so I can refer my local friends to this tour. If Scott ever comes to Fort Lauderdale, I can show him the notorious and nefarious that I live around :) | ||||||

Unique and unusual - not your standard Hollywood

| I went on this tour back in 1994 when Scott used to drive you around in a hearse! It was very unique and fascinating. I've always recommended the tour over all these years. The tour includes a narrative including a booklet of photos of the original scenes of the crime and how the homes looked back then - in addition to occasional audio of 911 calls related to the crime.This past tour I took my teenage daughter and her three friends. They definitely found it interesting but didn't know a lot of the older stars mentioned on the tour. So I would recommend it mainly to adults especially as some of the narrative and photos are graphic. (They do warn people of this before they buy tickets). But there's a ton of locations shown and many other things pointed out, such as famous places and star's homes. If you are looking for something different to do in Hollywood this is definitely it! You will not be disappointed! (There is a separate tour of the Manson Murders) Recommendation of locations for the operators: Phil Hartman, Richard Jeni, OJ Simpson route from Rockingham to S. Bundy and Nicole Simpson Condo, drive up to Greystone Mansion to get a better look and talk about the murder committed there ( I would dump Mae West if you need the time) | ||||||

| This a must see LA tour... The tour guide is extremely knowledgeable and will allow you to learn so much about this part of California history. If you are at all interested in the Manson killing you can not miss this one... | ||||||

| As enthusiasts of the dearly departed, having visited many cemeteries in the area, we thought we knew it all! We’ve read many books and searched the web until our fingers were raw searching for stories about the dearly departed. We were convinced we would be disappointed taking Scott’s Dearly Departed Tour. However, in the first few minutes we were pleasantly surprised and knew we were in for a real treat. Scott is not only informative but entertaining. He is an expert historian and knows how to tell a story as if he were there. If you want to learn a lot about LA and many secrets no one else knows, you can’t miss this tour. | ||||||

| This was an excellent tour if you are into the macabre, but even if you aren't there were plenty of Old Hollywood sites (Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio's Old House) and new Hollywood sites (bathroom that George Michael made famous). Without a doubt the best part of the tour was the tour guide, Scott Michaels. He is clearly passionate about his work and he goes out of his way to answer any question and is incredibly knowledge about old and new Hollywood. The only thing I would have liked, that was not included would have been a tour of the one of the cemeteries (although we did pass the Hollywood Forever Cemetery and were informed about who was interred), but an extra hour or so might be too much for some. | ||||||

| I am 55 and had three 25 year olds with me. They didn't know who some of the stars were. Like George Burns, Bella Lugosi etc. But they had fun.. It could have been more morbid for us.. I don't know what that says about us..But none the less we will be booking the Manson tour very soon. And our guide Richard was great!!!! Very informative..Thanks ..Debbie Rhea.. | ||||||

| We're a family group - children aged 14 & 11 yrs. They didn't know some of the older famous people that were mentioined on the tour but both knew enough to enjoy it. My husband and I thought it was great - really interesting stories. Our guide was Richard. His delivery of the stories was great - slighty dead-pan, ironic humour, which had me chuckling away for a lot of the tour. The stories are what make this tour so good - without them the tour would just be driving around looking at sights but the stories brought them to life. As well as Richard's commentary, there were snippets of music, 911 calls, interviews and other facts, which were interspersed with the commentary. We all had a folder of photos, which went along with the tour. We covered a lot of different areas of LA. If you like something slightly different. more individualised than the mass tour operators provide, then this is the tour for you. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Thanks, Richard - I'm still smiling when I think of some of your comments! | ||||||
