I recently took this tour for the first time on a trip to LA, and it could not have been better. Brian is fun and brilliant! I was the only single on the tour and got to sit in the front seat with Brian. He made my day with some of his off the wall comments, and the knowledge he... More

Did this tour for the second time on a recent visit to LA, and really I still think it's probably the only good reason to spend a day in LA. Brian was our tour guide and he was both personable and funny for the whole tour. The tour itself is a fantastic way to see some very famous parts of... More

Sightseeing in L.A./Hollywood is a very cutthroat industry. The tour companies pretty much compete for the same business, (Foreign & American) tourists. Then along comes Scott Michaels, and his Dearly Departed Tours. Let me just say Scott has seriously carved out a niche for himself in the L.A./Hollywood tourist sightseeing industry. Keep in mind, while Dearly Departed Tours, is not... More

I used to regularly visit findadeath.com and was very excited that I had a layover in LA to take this tour. I will say that Scott and Brian were nice in letting us keep our luggage in the shop while on the tour and Brian went the extra mile in driving by the Chinese Theatre and Paramount Studios for me....

I booked the tour then saw the tour on American Horror Stories! It was kind of a creepy coincidence. I booked the Tragic History Tour. We had so much fun Brain (our guide), is the right kind of guide for the job. He is the type of person who lives and breathes HOLLYWOOD, a good phone a friend on a... More

Brian, the tour guide, is brilliant! He is the master of Hollywood's horrible histories. On this tour you see lots and learn even more about Hollywood murders, scandals and suicides. If you're English, you won't always know who the dead celebrities are but Brian makes it so fascinating it doesn't matter! Highlight for me was seeing The Landmark Motel where... More

Highly recommend this tour!!! Funny and VERY informed staff! Small group. I would even consider taking it again, next time I am in Hollywood.

I have been three times to LA in the last year for holidays and each time I have wanted to do this tour but did all the other ones which according to who you get the same house belongs to many different stars. This tour is Brilliant whilst it covers the macabre and deaths, murders and suicides in Hollywood whilst... More

We just went on our third tour with Dearly Departed in the past year. We have done the Hollywood Movie tour, Tragical History, and most recently the Helter Skelter tour. All 3 have been awesome, it was amazing to spend the day with Scott Michaels on the Helter Skelter tour. We are huge fans and plan on doing the Halloween... More
