A different and unique experience

| I personally know quite a lot about hip hop and its origins, and am a big fan of this music genre in particular and of many other music genres. I love listening to the great motown legends and the apollo was a great highlight for me, as was meeting the legendary Smokie Robinson which left me star-struck. Walking through Harlem was also very interesting and both myself and my husband felt comfortable strolling along the streets of this historic neighborhood. Reggie Reg was our guide, and at first he used a microphone which allowed us too to hear about the history we were walking through, even though we were often at the back. Unfortunately, very early on, he claimed that his microphone was not working because the batteries were flat (he should come ready with charged batteries) and from this time on we generally had no idea of what was being said by him. He also failed to wait for everyone to catch up before explaining about a site. These are things that can be corrected, and from what we did hear, Reggie has great knowledge of hip hop and it's history and is a fun guy to be around. Despite these mishaps, both my husband and I recommend taking this interesting tour. It is different and a unique experience. | ||||||

| We met at an easy location close to the empire state building. (only down side was our hotel was in Harlem so we had to travel all the way downtown just to go back.). The tour owner and bus driver were a little late, but no one seemed to mind...the tour was pretty laid back. Grandmaster Caz was great! He was a wealth of information about the hip-hop world and its inception. He was genuienly happy to education us about a cuture and music that some of the people on the tour knew nothing about. We saw the Frank E. Campbell Funeral Home on the upper east side where such people like Biggie Smalls and Luther Vandross had their services. We saw the grafitti hall of fame in Harlem. We saw the Apollo Theatre, the famous Theresa Hotel (where plenty of celebrities have stayed), and "The Carlton" building from "New Jack City." We had lunch at "Mannas Soul Food Buffet and Salad Bar." The food was wonderful and the prices were reasonable (around $13 for 2 people). We also saw the mosque wear Malcolm X worshipped, and we spent some time at Ruckers Park. We drove over to the Bronx and saw the building where THE first hip-hop party was (remember August 11, 1973, if anyone decides to take this tour!) Our tour got a special bonus. While driving in the Bronx, we saw KRS-ONE giving an interview in a parking lot and we were able to meet and talk with him. He was really cool about it, and everyone just felt that was a great way to finish such a fun day. We had to cut one thing out of the tour due to the KRS-ONE detour, but no one cared. Grandmaster Caz performed one of his songs, which was awesome! We returned relatively on time to the same spot they picked us up. The bus was comfortable; a little warm a times, but we were getting off of it so much, you really could tell. All in all it was a great tour. If you like hip-hop music and want to see where it began, this is a great starting point. If you spend the night, I recommend staying in Harlem. I walked around Harlem the rest of the weekend and had an amazing time soaking in more history, and culture, and the great food! Thanks Hushtours! | ||||||

| We had an amazing day with our fantastic tour guide, Reggie Reg. Our 18 year old son was the one who originally wanted this tour, but both my husband and I enjoyed it immensely. We recommend it to all visitors to NYC - it tells the history of Hip Hop, which is an important cultural factor today, AND it gives you hope for the future (if you ever lost it), because it emphasises the enthusiasm and joy of human beings. DO NOT miss this opportunity! | ||||||

| We had to wait 15 minutes while the bus was set up. Setup with what I don't know since, there was nothing on the bus when we boarded. What the website depicts the tour to be, was actually the last thing it was. The tour guide kept saying how we were driving in his home town, yet couldn't remember what street to exit off of. Pretty sad. I would not recommend this tour to anyone, it was boring, uninformative and poorly planned. Total rip off!!!!!!! | ||||||

this tour could be so much better!!

| first of all, you must know that all three in my party loved the idea of this and we were super excited to participate in the tour. there were highlights of the three hour experience (five points, the shop stop) but definitely long periods of time that were very boring for everyone on the bus. our host mikey-d was a nice person... but not "on" for most of the time. he also was drinking throughout the day...on one stop he bought a "tall boy" budweiser and drank out of a paper bag. on another stop he bought another alcoholic bev and drank out of a paper bag. seriously unprofessional. add to that - no one in charge "knew how to work dvd player" so movie was not shown during boring parts of trip. the bottom line is that I wish mikey-d had been "on" more...when he was - he was good. also, the tour is too long. there is not enough material to fill up three hours so most of the time is spent riding around with no narration. drinking during the tour added the unprofessional touch that put it over the top. i'm sorry, but i wouldn't recommend this tour to anyone. also, i'm in public relations in new york - you could have had a big fan!!! | ||||||

| I really enjoyed thsi tour, it was everything I wanted it to be. My husband and I could not stop talking about this. This was something we decided to do for our 1 year anniversary of marriage and we were more than satisfied. A memoriable time. We recommed this to others, especially those who think they know about hip hop, but have no idea of the real thing... | ||||||

Interesting, but not totally fitting description

| Our guide was very knowledgeable & pointed out various landmarks, however, the tour was to have lasted two hours & only lasted one. Also, the ad mentions photo opportunities with legends of hip hop & the chance to purchase c.d.'s, etc. We never got either of these. I enjoyed the tour & would certainly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in hip hop, but doesn't necessarily know much about its history. However, our particular guide only brought us up to the late 1980's/early 1990's & didn't continue to discuss the evolution up to the present. | ||||||

Just took a long Walk and Talked Pretty Much

| The one speaker gave lots of information but we just walked and walked and he just talked and talked. Pointing out some things as we walked was the extent of the tour. Nothing exciting happened we did not actually go inside any building or viewed any demonstrations. I was very disappointed and so was my 16 year old. We were expecting something exciting to happen. I would have rated this lower but the speaker seemed enthusiastic about hip hop. There just was no substance to the tour. | ||||||

| I'd enjoyed the Tour very much...I learned a lot about the Hip Hop culture and I met Grandmaster Caz :) It's very interesting for all Hip Hop fans and also for people who don't know that much about Hip Hop. | ||||||
