This has been the highlight of my LA trip! Big Mike was the most knowledgeable tour guide, sharing personal experiences and stories that directly connected to the hip hop history and culture of the area. If you like hip hop or just want to know more about the movies and artists you love, do this tour. Ask for Big Mike. Tell him Danley sent you.

One of the great tours. Big Mike is incredibly knowledgeable, funny, and feels like you're hanging out with a pal. The real LA tour!

After our cruise, we decided to book the La Hood Tour. It was an incredible experience. We learned a lot and saw even more. Did you know that former President Bush lived in Compton? It was quite amusing. I highly recommend Mooney as the tour guide. You won’t be disappointed.

This was absolutely one of the most memorable things of my lifetime!! Big Mike the tour guide was amazing and had knowledge of the whole entire area being from that area! We had so much fun and this tour is worth every penny!!! For me as a Gen X, it was very nostalgic, thorough and so, so, fun!! If I could give this 10 stars, I would!!!! Definitely do it if you are in the area!!! Thanks Big Mike!!!

Another guy down the road tried to recruit us but we didn't give. We are so happy we didn't! We enjoyed ourselves and was worth every penny! Also you get to see the Pretty Woman apartment! Can't wait to come back and do the 4 hour. Book it!
