Caz was dope...
Sat, Aug 19, 06   11:00 AM corriebray Female 20-29 International Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
The tour was great... Am not as deep in my knowledge as my husband and found it just as entertaining as he did! Grandmaster Caz was totally engaging, held the floor of the bus as it was his stage... Taking you through from the roots of hip hop (thank god no jiggy ish), and where it all began... The food wasnt as bad as a previous poster described, its a soul food buffet, take what you like, leave what you dont... Was dope to get a pic with Caz at the end as well, definitely one for the album!!!

Our Hushtour was the highlight of our NYC visit.

First, we were very happy that the Hushtour people found an alternate tour guide on the same day our guide was ill. Our alternate guide was Reggie Reg from the Crash Crew who experienced and knew everything about the early hip hop days and personally knew most of the other people who are the hip hop pioneers (as well as half the people we met on the street!). He was very kind to us, directed comments to all of us, asked us questions about what we already knew, etc. We walked from 106th street up to 125th street with the narrative going non stop about the chronology of hip hop events starting back in the 70's. When the tour was over, Reggie Reg helped us figure out our transportation back and personally escorted us there. My 18 year old daughter was loving it. Lots of opportunities for great pics too. Recommended highly.

Great experience for Hip Hop enthusiasts
Tue, Aug 8, 06   1:10 PM KMStephens Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We really enjoyed the tour. It was nice to hear more detail about the history of Hip Hop and how Harlem contributed to its creation. Raheim was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and the elements of Hip Hop. He made everyone feel comfortable as the tour progressed. Just as a suggestion, it would be nice to have a way for the tour guide to project his voice. We were a group of only 7, but will all the traffice on the streets, it was sometimes difficult to hear his remarks. We would definitely encourage others to participate in the tours, if visiting NYC. Thanks, Kyle, Kim and Dasja

Lot's of Fun
Sat, Jul 29, 06   11:00 AM scatejud Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
We had a blast. I would recommend that the person waiting for us at the p/u spot have a printed sign or badge on with the tour name. When we got to the spot we didn't know if we were at the right place and approach a couple people before we got to the right person. Also, our tour was on 7/1/06. I had my confirmation but was not on the list. There was no problem we were welcomed on the tour. The information was very informative and the time on the bus was filled with music, fun, and hip hop trivia. The stops were interesting. We had a problem getting to the Bronx due to a baseball game. Prior planning could have allowed for another route to be taken. We spend a lot of time sitting in traffic. It was also a little disappointing that we had to return the "bling bling". It would have been a nice souvenir. The food was good and allowed for the foreigners to experience "soul food". Keep up the good work. I would recommend the tour to others that visit NY.

interesting,fun
Wed, Jul 26, 06   1:10 PM jcummings Female 50-59 International Tourist(s) Family With Children
I was lucky enough to do this walk tour with my teenage daughters. Although it was a very hot day we managed to enjoy every minute of it. Our guide was the well known and reputable Rahim who has been a legend in hiphop for many years. He was informative , friendly and humourous. The sun was beating down and we sweated our way through the amazing streets of Harlem, hanging off Rahims' every word. I was surprised that their was so much history and information. We had so much fun. The only thing we would have liked to have seen was a display of hiphop dancers. We know that this is only one aspect, but it would have finished the tour perfectly. Rahim was both professional and interesting. Great tour for the whole family. However I would advise you to put on your walking shoes and be prepared to walk for one and a half hours.

What an uplifting experience!
Thu, Jul 20, 06   6:15 PM mswatty Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
Worshiping at the Hip Hop Church was a wonderful experience. We were welcomed with open arms and had an opportunity to worship in a new way. This church has a great outreach to their community and their energy is infectious. I come to New York often but had never visited this church before. I am glad that I happened upon this opportunity. I will definitely go back during succeeding trips. Debra and Donovan, our escorts, were gracious and helpful. My daughter and I had a great evening !

Highlight of our NY trip
Thu, Jul 13, 06   1:10 PM Unitymac1 Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
The highlight of our recent trip to NYC was the hip hop tour.. We wondered if we would be welcome as we are quite a bit older than hip hop music but nothing could be further than the truth. Raheim, our guide, was informative, knowledgable and eloquent. Not only is the tour a tribute to hip hop, it is also of historical interest as Raheim introduces the tourist to many buildings and places important to Harlem's colourful and varied past. He draws your attention to lots of sites as the tour winds through the streets and neighbourhoods. It was just wonderful to tour Harlem so long a 'no go' area to whites. Wherever we went people hailed Raheim and smiled and chatted with us. Harlem and Raheim were great hosts! Please take this tour of Harlem - Oh! and save room for the wonderful Soul luncheon when the tour is over - $5.00 all you can eat - yum! By the way we did not tip Raheim. We did not know if we should or not and we should have asked him for his autograph as it will never happen again that one of the creators of a genre personally shows you around his world - a bit like having Picasso show you how he painted a picture!

Educational and Fun!!!
Sun, Jul 2, 06   1:10 PM Perkinsmoore Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
My 10 year old son and I took the tour this past 4th of July weekend. It was better than I expected. The tour guide was informative, cordial and very knowledgeable. My son was very pleased and the guide kept his attention throughout the tour. We saw the building where "New Jack City" was filmed and we recognized the surroundings from other movies that were filmed in Harlem. We saw President Clinton's office and experienced a totally awesome meal at Manna's Restaurant. Spanish Harlem, Apollo Theatre, Grafitti walls and the St. Teresa Hotel were a delight. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone with children. I especially liked the tour guides interaction with the group-question and answer segments which made us really feel like we were involved in the process and provided a valuable educational experience for my son.

AMAZING!!
Sat, Jul 1, 06   11:00 AM kbalmer Female Under 20 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
It was very informative and at the same time lively - it was nice to get to know the narrators on a personal level. We got to see every hidden corner of Harlem and the true roots of hip hop which made you really appreciate it to it's fullest and get behind the whole movement. Lunch is fantastic! I didnt feel like I needed to eat again for a whole week, the food was that good - real soul food! Stops on the tour included the Graffiti Hall of Fame which oozed vibrance and character, Rucker Park where a few of us shot hoops!,The Walk of fame in the Bronx...awesome. Interaction was great and everyone was involved. Definately is a must do if visiting New York.

Not worth the price tag
Sat, Jul 1, 06   11:00 AM afewgoodmens Male 30-39 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Most viewing is done from within the bus (not a luxury bus as stated) and too many insignificant pieces of information. Would expect a proper soul food restaurant rather than an "all you can eat "type for $ 4.99

Entertainer, Educator, and Cultural Icon
Sat, Jun 17, 06   11:00 AM CiscoKid Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Grandmaster Caz was part entertainer, part educator, and part cultural icon. The tour bus was comfortable, the tour staff respectful and knowledgeable, and the tour was both educational and entertaining.
