This tour is amazing!! I completely recommend taking ANY tour with this company. The tour guide we had (Brian) was more than knowledgable and beyond friendly.

A jam-packed 2 hours of death, scandal and worse. Tour guide was enthusiastic but, not in a wierd sort of a way. Great fun and very informative. Wish that it could have gone on all day. Thanks.

the enclosed coach limited view of many of the sites - would have enjoyed it more with an open air van, or at least one with higher windows

A fun tour

I love movies and love movie trivia and sight spotting, so this tour was good for me. Worth it just to see the school from Pretty in Pink! I purposely avoided the tours that go to stars' houses so luckily there wasn't much of that. I'm not so into old movies, but still I enjoyed their inclusion and learnt a bit. Some of the sights related to fairly B grad movies - these could perhaps be cut and be replaced with some more up to date movies if possible. A good way to see a bit more of the city too, on our first day. We had a nice tour group too.

Our tour guide was a walking, talking encyclopedia of information. He had a wonderful sense of humor. I really enjoyed the tongue in cheek references. He made the tour very personable and I could not wait to share my experience with my friends at home.

Great tour, Great Guide

I took the Dearly Departed tour with a friend of mine last weekend and we both had a great time. The guide was enthusiastic and made the tour fun even through the dark subject matter. He relayed all the sites in a light hearted manner. I don't usually take any sort of tourist type thing like this but I highly recommend this one. Would have liked to see some of the Manson sites but I guess they have a dedicated tour for those sites. Thanks for a great experience! Mark Boulder

Scott did a fantastic job telling us who has "left the building" per se. The tour was great and informational for the dearly departed. There sure is a lot of history that I never knew before and totally recommend this tour to anyone who wants to know more about Hollywood and their stars.

im a big true crime buff, and charles manson is to me one of the most interesting. ive read more then a few books on him, and to actually see where it happened made it all come together better. would definitely recommend going on this tour if you are into learning about charles manson or enjoy crime in general.

We both had a fantastic time on this tour. Brian was a delight and very knowledgeable and made the time spent with him seem like no time had passed at all. He does exactly what he says - he does a tour the way he would want to be shown a tour. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone and would definitely do this tour again. Thanks to Scott and Brian for putting together such a fantastic time!

Birthday Gift

I purchased the tickets for myself and my best-friend, it was a birthday gift for her. We had the best time ever. We got to Hollywood a couple hours early. Had breakfast and then walked around Hollywood Blvd. Our DDT guide was Brian he was brilliant! So much detail so much fun. His best advise was "Even if you live in the Los Angeles area take a tour". SO RIGHT!!! The bus was clean, and the widows are large which makes for viewing points of interest a plus. Thanks we had a great time!

Too long and too many unknown actors.
Sat, Sep 11, 10   1:30 PM jtc558 Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
We went on this tour, and basically it was tooo long. The driver was enthusiactic and knowlegible. However, not unless you are with your grandparents you wouldn't even know over 3/4 of who the actors that died were. The are mostly from the 30,s. Its like driving around in hollywood in circles. So not unless you are just looking for something to do. I would'nt recommend it. Some younger people in the back of the vehicle feel asleep.
