My son James and I had looked forward to touring America together and seeing some great basketball. The tour was far beyond our expectations and gave us a true insight into the NBA.
The time in the training facilities of three NBA teams, plus the willingness of the club personnel to share in their experiences were the highlight of the trip, and a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Our leaders CJ and Aaron weren't bad either (they were brilliant)!! We would recommend this trip to any basketball lovers, or just sports lovers.

The Hype Tour appeared to promise everything I was looking for but delivered even more.
I saw more than I ever imagined, met some amazing people and had the experience of a lifetime. To make a long story short I "believe the hype". Being a part of more incredible NBA action than I could handle was the perfect way to experience the United States.
The locker room tours, eating dinner with Patty Mills, meeting the Boston Celtics, and having the best outback barbeque with Brett Brown were simply amazing. How wrong I was to expect that I'd just be getting to watch some NBA games!
The tour itself was extremely well organised by Aaron, a fantastic person who loves a laugh and is more than keen to help you out. Both Aaron and CJ truly care about their guests and go out of their way to accommodate your needs without hesitation. I cannot speak highly enough of them both and the manner in which they put this whole thing together. So, in conclusion, pack your bags, book the time off and get ready because you're about to experience the “hype"!

The 2010 Hype tour of America was an outstanding experience that we will not forget. There were three main areas that were outstanding on this tour.
Firstly, right from the start Aaron Ford and CJ Bruton impressed us with their comprehensive organisational skills. Tickets for basketball, transport to and from games, hotels and flights and extra touring activities were all well organised and ran smoothly.
Secondly Hype tours offered extra activities based on basketball which included visiting The Nike World Head Quarters and employee store, NBA team training facilities and meeting many players. The itinerary was comprehensive and catered for all tour members’ interests.
Thirdly, the tour allowed for personal free time and this was especially important for us as we wanted to see as much of America as possible. The flexibility of the tour allowed for shortening or extending or visiting other areas before rejoining the tour group.
Aaron and CJ were outstanding hosts and we would highly recommend this tour to anybody with an interest in Basketball.

The NBA Hype Tour is not to be missed! To see games & players up close within the great atmosphere will simply NOT disappoint. I highly recommend the NBA Hype Tour particularly to those who have always said that they want to experience the NBA one day!
Good friends were made on this trip and the chance to visit the team training head quarters, meet players and coaches was something I felt only those on a Hype Tour could do.
The fun didn’t stop there either with so many other activities and events that were well organized by Breakers Champ CJ & MC Aaron!
