This tour is the real one, ya'll. Mooney did a great job showing us where the real G's were made, and how much the hood has changed over the years. Mooney is very passionate about his hometown (Compton), and wants us to care about it as much as he does. He took us to all the hood spots...Compton, Crenshaw, Black Beverly Hills, Watts. This tour does not disappoint

They don't offer any discounts for seniors or military. I've taken the tour twice no love shown for the above mentioned!

I purchased a private tour for some family members to broaden their knowledge of Los Angeles, and it was great. They came back with new insights and requested that Big Mike start a podcast . The experience booking with Hodari (the owner) was easy, and Big Mike picked them up at a local library nearby. I have recommended the tour to other people, Angelenos who have not been to Watts Towers and other notable places.

Moon gave us a great view of the LA Hood lifestyle while combining rap history. Not your traditional tour, it's filled with personal stories.

The tour with Mooney was great! He went into depth about everything we saw. Definitely a great experience and worth the money. 10/10!

This tour was one of the best things I did in LA. I booked a solo tour and Steve picked me up at my hotel. Our first stop was the liquor store, and immediately I realized that everyone knows Steve. I felt completely safe the whole trip, which I was a little worried about beforehand. I've been a rap fan since my childhood and always wanted to see where Dr. Dre, Snoop, Ice Cube, Eazy E, NWA came from. This was my shot, and I took it. I even hit the blunt after a few beers, it was all good. After hitting the sherm and checking out the sites, me and Steve went to Jameson's on Hollyweird Boulevard after the tour. That's how cool Steve is. Do not miss this tour while visiting LA, or if you just live in LA. P.S. Thanks for teaching me the gang signs!

While visiting Los Angeles, we decided to take the LA Hood Life Tour. I was skeptical at first. Big Mike was so knowledgeable, friendly and personable. The tour was worth it. I would recommend this tour to everyone looking for some good urban history. Best part of the tour was the stop at Nipsey Hussle's Marathon Store at Nipsey Hussle Square. Definitely, the highlight of our family trip.

Excellent tour. Steve was a very knowledgeable and informative guide. Very well organized tour in a new ford transit full size van, with many landmarks, apartment buildings and homes pointed out. Stops at key murals, watts towers, liquor store, etc. so you get a chance to walk around and take photos. Very well done and I would recommend to anyone who wants to see south l.a. firsthand.

Hood Tour..Steve was awesome! I say again Steve was awesome! Extremely knowledgeable, great applicable music, & probably best tour I have ever been on & I travel the globe and take tours everywhere!

This was my introduction to the hood life. We went to South Central La .... Compton, Crenshaw, Watts, etc ... I was in the hood for real. To actually see the area and the people living here was surreal. It's not just colors, gang bangers and low riders that we see and hear about everyday, it's mostly people just like us doing the best they can with what they have . We also went to skid row, it was heart breaking . I had no idea skid row was so large , it was blocks and blocks and blocks of people living in whatever they could make into a home. It was a reality that I felt my son needed to see first hand . Seeing their realities was heartbreaking and eye opening . I most certainly will contact various agencies in the area to provide financial resources for all that is being done to provide support (food, shelter, clothing and medical support) to the people living in this area. No one could believe I wanted to go on the "hoodlife" tour but everyone said this was by far the best tour they've ever been on.
