| If u like hip-hop this is the tour for you. Got taken to NY rappers locations such as Queensbridge, Hollis & South Jamaica and also the barber shop where they film the MTV show 'The Shop'. This tour provides you with a history of hip hop and takes you to places many tourists would not see. I would recommend this tour to any hip hop fan. |

| 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. |

| Fab hosts really looked after us and we thought the graffiti stop was awesome! Perhaps we could have stopped in Queens at the town centre where all the hip hop bling was on sale to buy a few gifts. Otherwise a great day for true hip hop fans.
Thanks again |

| A very good way to learn about the 2nd generation of rap from QUEENS...
Lots of good tidbits of rappers from that region and connecting with the physical env. is a plus.
Keep up the great job and sharing the knowledge of Hip Hop - Debra and team..... |

| 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!!

| The guys were good (Mikey D and other guy - who was more engaging and value add)
Tour went for 3 hours instead of 4 advertised . Because lacked a few venues, best was 5 points. Tour could be done in 2 or so hours.
I didn't mind tour in back seat of 4WD especially given quite cheap cost. But some may not like being 3 in back seat of a car. |

| first of all i'm orietta's son...i 've found this tour very intresting. the graffiti area was just crazy..and all the rest we have seen was very exciting too... i think that the coolest thing of this tour is that it makes you feel what is the reality in which a lot of people live, together with all the rappers that you've heard in your headcuffs for years and years. i mean, you can't say you have seen New York if you see just manhattan. but actually you wouldn't be able to go to queens as a tourist with your whole family, cause (maybe) it could be dangerous. thats why i thank hip hop tours for giving me this experience. mikey d was just great. he said a lot of interesting things. maybe the music was a bit too loud...and you know, some old parent can't stand it...anyway, i had a great time, and i think that everything has been perfect.
thank you a lot, peace!

| I planned this tour for my husband and myself while in the NYC for the Calzaghe vs. Jones Jr. fight. We both really love old skool hip hop and music as a whole. We weren't sure what to expect on the tour, but really, how could it not be cool when dealing with old skool roots and history. The group was small which was cool. We got to see the 5PTZ Wearhouse, LL's grandmothers house and stopming grounds along with many other artists. Mikey Dee and Googles were great tour guides, they even took us to Sybil's for some Jamacian food. Which was awsome, thanks guys. We recommend this tour for anyone, and will be back to check out the other tours. OLD SKOOL music is where is starts. |
