An honor
Sat, Aug 4, 07   11:00 AM jengibso Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
It was great to be with Grandmaster Caz and a highly international group of attendees. I learned so much and had an awesome time. I was in the city for 7 days and this tour was the best of my entire trip! I totally look at everything with new eyes-graffiti, hip-hop, rap, breaking, everything is different now! Caz is a highly entertaining, charming, friendly, intelligent and informative guide, and the group was really friendly and excited to participate. It was also great to watch everyone breaking in Rucker Park with Mighty Mouse. All in all, in was an honor to spend time with Caz and the group as a whole!

Excellent tour with a proper history of hip hop.
Sat, Jul 28, 07   11:00 AM colinmillar Male 30-39 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
The tour was excellent. A faultless history lesson in New York history expertly and enthusiastically told by the legendary Grandmaster Caz sticking to the facts and telling it like it was. Slightly marred by the initial choice of music (nobody want to hear Puff Daddy/P-Diddy/Diddy or LL Cool J past his prime - sticking to the better, non-commercial stuff would have been a far better choice) and the selling of bootleg CDs at the end (especially as this happened directly after Grandmaster Caz's tale of getting denied royalties from Rapper's Delight - a touch hypocritical if you ask me). These minor gripes aside, this is highly recommended especaially if Grandmaster Caz is your guide on the day.

Hip-Hop Fan? This is a must...
Sat, Jul 28, 07   11:00 AM tumsey Female 30-39 International Tourist(s) Family With Children
I went with a 15 year old boy - and think I had more fun than he did. We learned all about the origins of hip hop (and I learned what the four legs of the hip hop table are) as well as visited important geographic sites in the hip hop world. I even got to learn some beat boying moves! (Now that I know what beat-boying is...).Lunch was at a soul food buffet with classics for the picky (mac and cheese) as well as soul food specialties for the more adventurous - like collard greens. Music accompanied throughout added atmosphere and helped set the tone. Lecture tour throughout as well - with stories, history, anecdotes and a bit of rapping (oops, I mean emceeing). Nice mix of on and off the bus experience.

A great day!

I heard about the tour from a friend who lives in DC and had come to NYC specifically to take her family (w/ children) on the tour recently. My husband and I live in Manhattan and didn't even know about the tour. My husband is really into music and occasionally DJ's for private parties. I got the tickets as a surprise for him and we both loved it. It was fun and really interesting - a great day. Grandmaster Caz was the best guide you could ask for - he's a Hip Hop legend. It was really an insider's tour, and it was well done and professional . The food was great as well. We had a great group of people on the tour from all over the world - all different ages and backgrounds. There was a mother with her teenage son who learned some dance moves from a professional beboyer (breakdancer). One guy from the tour group actually had a dance off with the professional dancer. Grandmaster Caz did some MCing of his own songs and some freestyling too. Then two guys from the group both stood up and did their own freestyle rap. It was the real deal.

Great Tour just needs to pay attention to details
Sat, Jul 28, 07   11:00 AM Dansweet Female 30-39 Local Couple on a Date
I thought the tour was fun and informative. My husband and I are huge Hip Hop fans so this was a great way to spend the afternoon. We did have a couple of suggestions to make the tour look more professional. The speaker box that was used could be update and of better quality, it kept blinking in and out. The explaination of hip hop was great but we would have like to hear and see more relevant facts regarding hip hop and its relevance to NYC. We thought that they could put the Hush Tour sign on an A-frame so it would be easier to display and take with them during the tour rather then trying to hook it up to the door (which was rolled up while were there) or hooked to a fence in the park. It would have been nice to be given some time at the graffity wall to take pictures rather then running after the group and having to miss the speakers remarks to take them. I realize the tour is regarding the history of rap starting with it's pioneers but I think it would be of value to show the connection of how those individuals influenced modern day rappers or show some connections through time, from one generation to the next. sort of a 6 degrees of seperation thing. Those are my suggestions. Thanks for a great day.

Fantastic Hip Hop Tour!
Sat, Jul 7, 07   11:00 AM Rubrecht Male 30-39 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Being from the Canadian Prairies I wanted to see some Hip Hop landmarks while visiting NYC but I was not sure how to go about it. As I surfed the net I came across Hush Tours and immediately booked a Hip Hop Tour. The tour could not have been better. The 4 hour tour flew by as we ventured through areas of Manhattan, Harlem and the Bronx checking out various culturally important sites. Our "Hip Hop Legends Tour" included the delightful and modest Reggie Reg from the legendary Crash Crew. Other legends came along for the ride as well. Grandmaster Mele Mel from Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five and Easy Mo Bee were also on the bus. We also has the president of the Sedgwick & Cedar clothing line in our attendance. Reggie Reg was a fantastic host and described the history and culture of Hip Hop well. My wife, who doesn't know as much as I do about Hip Hop, found the tour to be very informative. I also learned knew details that I did not know about before. Mele Mel was hilarious on the tour and always had something to say. The bus was treated to a mini-concert as Mele Mel played emcee and performed "The Message" to us. Amazing! I highly recommend this tour because this is the best chance to meet some real Hip Hop artists and to understand the whole Hip Hop culture and it's history in NYC. This tour is equally entertaining for Hip Hop heads and people who would like to learn about Hip Hop. I would go again if I visited New York City just to see who I might get a chance to meet.

if ur interested in learning about and seeing where i all began...this tour will NOT disappoint you. If ur looking for to see the homes of 50 Cent, Jay-Z, or any other top 40 rapper of today, then don't bother.

Great Experience!
Sat, Jun 23, 07   11:00 AM kinegorg Male 30-39 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We are a couple from Austria and did the tour as part of our ten days New York stay. Grandmaster Caz really made an effort to convey what hip hop was about in the early days. So if you want to get an idea of the locations and people that created the hip hop culture in new york in the late 70 s this is probably he best tour you can get. You also get to see some parts of the city most other tours would not get you to. (Spanish Harlem, Bronx, the Lennox / 125th corner in harlem,...) We considered it an important part of the cities culture one should not miss. After all you cant ask Chagal what his paintings meant in the Museum of modern Art, but you can ask Grandmaster Caz. So get there and do so! Very entertaining and informative!

I had a fantastic time. Grand Master Caz was entertaining and gave us a great history lesson in the hip hop culture. We got to experience so many great neighborhoods while learning about hip hop. I enjoyed myself and would recommend this tour to all of my friends.

The tour UNLIKE any other!
Thu, May 10, 07   12:10 PM apexpredator Male 30-39 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
My girlfriend (she is not a huge hip hop fan) and I attended the Harlem Walk it Out Hip Hop Tour. Our tour guide was Reggie Reg of the Crash Crew. He was so nice and knowledgeable. We really appreciated his outlook and the hands on approach the tour had. Nothing beats actually walking through Harlem and taking in all of the sights, sounds and smells. Be sure to have a lot of questions of your own to ask in order to really get the most of out of Reggie Reg. This tour is very much alive and interactive and is best suited for those who have don't have all the answers. My girlfriend came away with a definite deeper understanding of why I love to pump my hip hop loud now. We saw many historical areas that, while not specific to hip hop, were of great interest to me regarding Harlems history. We passed by many street vendors and I picked up a fantastic t-shirt featuring the Notrious B.I.G. off one of the street vendors. We wwnt into a record store as well where I would have liked to buy a few things. My point is that you should carry a little extra money if you want to buy anything during the tour. Of course another highlight was the Soul Food lunch we had. I am telling you that if you come hungry you will leave stuffed. The food was great and the people in the restaurant were very nice. All in all a great one of a kind tour that I want to encourage everyone to go on. I also purchased the CD from Hush Tours when I purchased the tickets and Reggie Reg brought it for me. I highly recommend this CD as it contains many of the hits of early hip hop. If you do not have an extensive collection of hip hop classics then you should for sure spend the 12 bucks and get this bad boy. Of course it also helps take me back to 106 and Park in Harlem everytime I pop it in my cars cd player! Thanks again to Reggie Reg and everyone at Hush Tours!

Respect the old school, where it came from. NY

It was awesome. Caz a true legend in the game, much respect, keep on represent NY, Bronx that is my defenition off hip hop as a 35 year old male from Copenhagen, Denmark. This culture has been my great joy in life since 1985, i was 13 years old when i for the first time on danish TV saw the acrobatic dance from the streets of NY. Since that i was hooked. Though I am getting older i still go to jams, concerts and sometimes on a club called Hip Hop Kontoret (The Hip Hop office). This culture has giving me so much, and are much more than MTV. I can only recommend Hush tours, even iff you are not interested in the culture of Hip Hop, it is still a big history off New York. Hope to come back soon. I am out. NaS is here in Copenhagen 31. may 2007, and over here in europe we are going to show him Hip Hop is not dead, she is here to stay. Hell yeah!!!

Enjoy jumping BACK in time
Sat, May 5, 07   11:00 AM djblaster Male 30-39 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Pros: - Grandmaster Caz really knows what he's talking about - Caz brings you back in the late 70ies when all began - You'll get an impression why and how they started to create their own thing called hiphop - You'll get out of Manhattan, into Harlem and Bronx - You'll get to know the real story behind the Sugarhill Gang - You'll spend a nice afternoon worth every single dime you spent Cons: - You move around and see many places, but of course it's not the same like when you're visiting old Egypt. New York changed in the last years. You'll see graffitys but of course you won't see the original ones. - You don't go to deep into the real Bronx Once again, it's been a great tour, we enjoyed every single minute!! Regards from Switzerland Rolf and Barbara
