| Meaningful, powerful and REAL experience. 100% recommended. This is more than a tour, its a deep dive into the world of hip-hop, and it will get you stuck off the realness. |

| There's alot of Hip Hop history straight out of Queens, and Pioneer rapper Mikey D lived it. I thought I knew alot about Queens Hip Hop History, but I have learned alot more.
Visiting the homes of Run DMC, LL Cool J, the Lost Boys and many more. These guys are doing the right thang, by educating visitors from all over about Hip Hop history. Something that is not always taught in schools. I'm glad they are preserving the history by offering these tours. |

| Loved this tour!! Guides were informative and was a very relaxed vibe. Great lunch stop - recommend the cheeseburgers!!!!! Places of interest were relevant, and especially enjoyed 5 Points. Would recommend this tour to any fan of hip hop - but would suggest that you order the package that includes the tshirts - we didn't thinking we could pick them up on the tour, but none were available. |

| I enjoyed this trip however we and other passengers were all very disappointed that the pioneers of hip hop tour was cancelled and we were sent on this. It is, I would assume, a completely different tour, I (we) weren't really interested in hearing about the likes and music of Ja Rule, 50 Cent etc. So it wasn't a really suitable replacement. I guess my negative opinion stems from the fact there was 9 people on our tour and 4 of them had booked for the other tour, so I felt maybe they should have asked us if we'd like to pay more to have this tour cancelled and take the other, or just have a smaller group (I would have!!) It was really meant to be the highlight of my overseas trip so I was pretty depressed about it. Having said that, Mikey D was a great host, we saw a lot of queens, and had a pretty good time. It was better than not going at all :) |

| September 2009 met with the legendary Mike D, and his crew and scooted over the bridge to Queens to hear his thoughts on Rap & Hip hop.
There was 8 on the tour and I think we were the only couple who didnt know the history or most of the rappers he mentioned - by the end I knew my 'Ladies Love' from my Grandmaster Jay alright.
Good fun, and Mikey D is so passionate - shame he only hit the UK for the first time this year though. We hit the Queensbury projects, 5 points graffitti, Hollis, Jamaica and then his favourite Barbers!! The soul food stop was great - the original Technics 1210s on display with all the platinum discs aswell.
We had a great time Mike. You kept me laughing the whole tour (especially how the bad boy rapper was struggling with his allergies that day!!)
Only downside was at times it seemed a bit stretched out and the lads werent sure what to do next or where to go. Apart from that, yeah it was worth the money and we have the memory of watching the man in action Freestyling away on the bus without any anti-histamines!!

| A look into a side of hip hop you don't get access to that easily. The tour was lead by Mikey D and his man Googles. We got to see sites all up and down Queens and heard stories that brought a flavour to the life of hip hop. Entertaining throughout with conversations, pop quizes and other insights. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who loves hip hop and those who want to know more. |

| I guarantee this will be unlike any other tourist activity NYC has to offer. In the 5 day l visited l did a range from Ground Zero to MOMA and while there's a place for everything this definetly adds something different. I'll be recommending it to my friends when they visit.
On a negative tip these tours tend to be small groups of 3-5 people. Which is actually great. Infact l would have prefered it if it had been just our group.
On a positive tip the main guide, Mickey D, was great.
Thanks! |

| Because of the weather and delayed airplanes, my tour didn't happen!
I met John who appolozige for the inconvience and gave me a mix cd (free of charge) and gave the ticket value back.
So next time I come to New York I will call them and schedule my tour, because they said I should do so and they will lay for me the red carpet!
John was very kind and we spoke for a while about the todays bew york rap scene!
So considering the sadness of not having the tour I am not totally sad because of the chat I had with him!
Next it will be better! |
