Dearly Departed Tours

Our Dearly Departed tour was a ghostload of fun! Our driver, Scott, was informative and funny with wry asides about everything from those who have moved on to LA drivers! Highly recommended!

Scott is a fantastic guide and has a great way of blending facts with humor. The coach is very comfortable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is into Hollywood history and/or trivia

Our tour guide was well informed and really put 100% of his passion for the macabre into the tour. We are all obssessed with the Eddie Murphy/Shalimar cover up! I would th 3 hour tour was well worth the price.

Scott was a great tour guide and extremely informative. The tour showed cites I never knew existed right in my own backyard. Although I miss the original Grave Line Tour, I'm so glad Scott has created the new Dearly Departed Tour to carry on the tradition. My only suggestion would be to make it more macabre. Bravo!

You will learn so much about Hollywood and the crazy history that exists in this city - you can't make this stuff up!!! Scott is a tremendous tour guide. He's very knowledgable and loves his job. I highly recommend this tour!

I've done this tour twice and I highly recommend it. This time I took a friend from London to show him an overview of Hollywood/West side and show him some good movie spots. He had a great time! The tour guide is very personable and has great stories to tell. The conversation throughout the tour is great and there is not a single slow moment in the 3 hours.

This tour is great! The driver is extremely knowledeagble about the area and balances the dark subject matter with some light-hearted trivia. He shows you star homes that you can actually see, and historic sites around LA (with the pictures to prove it). Worth every penny. It would be nice if the van didn't have a roof though.

We found the brochure at the Kodak theatre, and then booked in for the next day. The tour was great! Scott, the driver extraordinaire, had an amazing wealth of information in his head. The tour was not just about the dark side of Hollywood, we also saw where some stars live, and other points of interest. I would have to say the Dearly Departed tour was a good value for the money, and thanks for having extremely clean windows in the van, as I got some great pics too!

Yep, Scott, the tour guide, was the real hit of the show.

The dearly departed tour was very entertaining. We all enjoyed the ride around hollywood and loved seeing all the historical memories and some recent events. Our group felt it was worth every penny. We liked it so much that we will be going on another tour soon. (The Helter Skelter tour)... I rate this tour Highly recommended!!!

i found the tour to be a little too long for the amount of information/sites there were to see. i also think it was too pricey, i would value it at $25, 1/2 of what it cost. seeing the houses of the LaBianca's and the site where Sharon Tate's house was were the highlights, but driving down through the canyon to see the front of the house where a gun was found seemed like a time waster and a filler. seeing it from the road gave you the point enough. too many of these made you want the tour to end. i would have liked more information, audio, or something on Manson himself. i did find the driver very informed on Hollywood history. if your a big Manson fanatic, go for it. if you have mild to moderate interest, find the addresses of the two locations and take yourself.

I was so happy with everything... we were running late and I called - the tour guide waited for us and let me grab some water before we left. I went to work and told everyone about it and totally reccommended it! Ive lived locally all of my life and never got the view of hollywood like that! I really hope that there are more tours like that in the works! thanks again

This tour exceeded our expectations by being so much more than just a tour of "haunted" sites. We got to see stars' homes, crime scenes, and obscure things, like the bushes Ms. Lohan ran into on one of her drunken excursions. Scott was an awesome tour guide and is a true fountain of knowledge. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone. Keep up the good work.

Interesting tour of the grimmer side of Hollywood, at times sad, but at other times amusing. The guide, Scott, is very knowledgeable of Hollywood history, and he provides a lot of detailed information, but wasn't very personable or friendly, and even treated some questions as annoying. I think he might be a little bit bored doing this day after day. Nevertheless, I would recommend this tour of Hollywood, that is, to those who are interested in the grimmer side of glamorous Hollywood.

This is a must for anyone with friends visiting Los Angeles. You can show them all the fun sites without having to drive them around yourself. Scott is awesome as a tour guide. He really knows his stuff. The three hours will just FLY BY! Loved it!
