If you have any interest in music this tour is a must for you. Grandmaster Cas, our tour guide, was superb and to think he was at the forefront of this music revolution is amazing. This tour will take you to parts of New York you will not otherwise visit, and you will also get an excellent history lesson long the way. A fun informative tour that will probably be the highlight of your holiday. Also great for teenagers if they are into hip hop.

Educational and Fun!!! Hip Hop Tour Led by Pioneers Harlem & The Bronx

MY 18 year old son and I had a great time on the tour. Saw a lot of New York we would not have seen and learned a lot about the history and culture of hip hop. Grand Master Cruz was great - on only 1 hours sleep! The food at the luncheon stop in Harlem was also good. Would recommend highly.
Do it! Walk This Way - Harlem Hip Hop Tour

My 15-year-old son and I have a somewhat limited interest in hip hop per se, but we dig the culture, graffiti, origins of all black music styles, including jazz, old style R&B, soul, funk, etc. Our charming tour guide, 'Reggie Reg' from the legendary 'Crash Crew' (authentic Sugarhill Records act, known for their 1980 debut 'High Powered Rap' ) met our 8-strong walking group at an uptown museum, and walked us to deepest Harlem, via the Graffiti Wall of Fame, Apollo Theatre and Happyhouse Record Store Reggie spun the sounds on a portable speaker, including S Wonder, J Brown and Fatback Band and explained how hip hop came about through young R&B fans in the Bronx wanting to make their own noise, DJ-ing, scratching, rappping, taking it all the way to Grandmaster Flash, Sugarhill Gang, etc. By recording live DJs direct onto their boom boxes and recycling cassettes to the new young hip hop market, pioneers like the Crash Crew virtually invented the illegal download (!) and today's multi million dollar hip hop industry. Reggie finished the two hour walk on 125th Street - an area us whiteys would have avoided even five years ago - but no worries, it was as calm as Downtown Disney, with loads of great record and clothing stores, and for a thrilling remnder of the past, the Hotel Theresa building where Cab Calloway, Ray Charles, Sam Cooke and every black superstar stayed when they played the Apollo in the glory days. A dignified subway ride on the A-train took us back to midtown. A highly recommended tour to anyone who digs black music.

Not only our children enjoyed the walk very much, even my wife and myself were very amused about the enthusiastic way our guide explained the early days of the Hip-Hop movement. It was a very enjoyable (and safe) way to get to know Harlem a little bit better as well.
Recommendation From A Non Hip Hopster Hip Hop Tour Led by Pioneers Harlem & The Bronx
Sat, Jul 28, 07 11:00 AM	sqJa5D32	Female	60-69	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family With Children
I personally have never been a fan of hip hop which is not uncommon for my age group. When my son realized I was taking my grandson and daughter-in-law to New York for a visit, he stated he had always wanted to participate in a hip hop tour. My grandson, age 11, also indicated he would enjoy this. I agreed because I became more interested in hip hop by watching "So You Think You Can Dance". After determining the tour was "family friendly", I agreed to purchase the tickets. I must say it was an absolute delight. Everyone was extremely professional, well versed and had the ability to make everyone of any gender or age feel quite comfortable. I thoroughly enjoyed learning the history of hip hop and must say, because of this, I now have totally changed my view. Before this tour, I believed all hip hop was dirty language and totally disrespectful. I no longer believe this and am happy to have had the opportunity to learn the truth about hip hop. My grandson and daughter-in-law also enjoyed the tour. We purchased a CD which is currently being enjoyed by my grandson. It's wonderful to learn that just because a "culture" may not be one practiced by everyone, doesn't mean it's against good values.
Hip-Hop Fan? This is a must... Hip Hop Tour Led by Pioneers Harlem & The Bronx
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.
Great Tour Hip Hop Tour Led by Pioneers Harlem & The Bronx
Sat, Jul 28, 07 11:00 AM	TomHernandez	Male	40-49	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family With Children
This tour was much more that I expected....I am a local dj out of Texas that has some knowledge of "Old School" Hip Hop but not a lot since I cater to a different style of Music (Tejano)....This was an extremely educational tour...I learned so much from this expierence....I would highly recommend this tour for everyone...I took my wife and daughter with me and they had a good time also.....The only draw back if you can say this to be a draw back was that we had to eat our lunch on the bus since we were running short on time....To me this was the highlight of my visit to New York!!!!!!!
much walking and talking, few sites visited Walk This Way - Harlem Hip Hop Tour
Thu, Jul 19, 07 12:05 PM	dupayo	Male	50-59	Local	Family With Children
CWe enjoyed our host, Reggie Reg, who was friendly, funny and knowledgeable. Had trouble hearing what he was saying due to street noise. But aside from the graffitti wall of fame (really unique), we did not see much that was specific to hip hop culture or history. Also some stops listed on the web site -- hip hop clubs, oldest record store in Harlem -- were not visited and the Apollo stop was just a brief step into the lobby. The MSNY stop at the beginning, especially the video, had nothing to do with the tour, really. Better would have been a stop to see a video with some of the hip hop performers mentioned by our host.
This tour is da bomb!! Walk This Way - Harlem Hip Hop Tour
Sun, Jul 15, 07 12:05 PM	lin3579	Male	Under 20	International Tourist(s)	Family With Children
I'm 19 from Scotland, and me and ma bro(13) persuaded my mum to go on the tour with Reggie Reg from the Crash crew (cool as ice!!) Was a little aprehencious (dunno bout the spelling?!) bout the tour when i found out it was just us three cause other people got lost, plus me and ma bro are more into new skool rap. But learning all about hip hop's origins with an absolute legend was not only informative but exciting, felt like i was walking during the era that Reggie Reg covers. We walked through Harlem and learned all about it's history for 2 hours and it just flew in. If you want to learn bout 50 cent or Jay Z...go on the net! For a real live feel for hip hop, check out the tour!!! Jamie from (near) Edinburgh, Scotland.
A GREAT DAY OUT IN NEW YORK!! Hip Hop Tour Led by Pioneers Harlem & The Bronx
Sat, Jul 14, 07 11:00 AM	nilred1	Female	40-49	International Tourist(s)	Family With Children
we were visiting New York (from Scotland) and booked this for our 12 year old son who has an interest in hip hop. we were unsure of how we would fit into the group as we are umm a wee bit on the wrong side of 40!! Grandmaster Caz gave us an insight into hip hop (ask him about the table!!) with humour and passion. We would never have visited harlem or any of the interesting places on our own. There is more to New York than Times Square!! I would recommend this to anyone who has no knowledge to those with lots of knowledge.
If you want to REALLY see New York... Hip Hop Tour Led by Pioneers Harlem & The Bronx
Sat, Jun 23, 07 11:00 AM	apowell	Male	40-49	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family With Children
This tour not only provides a good background on the history of hip hop, but also gives you a view of New York City beyond the usual paths taken in Manhattan. Grandmaster Caz was our guide, he's funny and obviously knows what he's talking about. Considering what an uninformative taxi ride would cost for the miles we were taken, what we got to see and experience, this tour is WELL worth the value!
A in depth look at hip-hop beginnings and culture Hip Hop Tour Led by Pioneers Harlem & The Bronx
Sat, May 12, 07 11:00 AM	aidfabulous	Female	40-49	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family With Children
My sister (same age), myself, and my nephew (13) took this tour on May 12, 2007. We THOROUGHLY enjoyed it. We travel quite a bit and have taken many tours in many different cities, including other tours in New York. We were impressed with this tour and the Pioneer of our journey -- Grandmaster Caz. He provided musical history accompanied by relevant audio (at the aid of his assistant) through the speakers of the bus. Growing up in that error and in The Bronx gave me and my sister an advantage over the other passengers. We found ourselves playing name that tune in the first 4 seconds of each song played. GM Caz was passionate about hip-hop and making sure our group understood the importance of it, from its early beginnings to current day. My sister and I were born in Harlem and grew up in The Bronx. Telling my nephew about how it was for us growing up was not enough. Before this tour, you could actually see him roll his eyes when a sampled song came on the radio that we already knew, but an upcoming artist decided to rap on top of the old track. Hearing it from GM Caz made it relevant to him and now we finally have the credibility we deserve -- thanks GM Caz. I loved that the bus started in mid-town and went to Harlem and then The Bronx, and back. The stop off for lunch at Manna's was at the appropriate time. The timing of the entire trip was perfect. I would highly recommend it to anyone who has ever questioned the importance of hip-hop in our culture and lives. We will probably do this tour again on another trip to New York and take the Walk this Way tour in hopes of getting a different Pioneering Legend for his/her perspective.
