BIG UPS TO HIP HOP WHAT WHAT!!! Hip Hop Tour Led by Pioneers Harlem & The Bronx
Sat, Oct 7, 06 11:00 AM	tarawilky	Female	20-29	Domestic Tourist(s)	Other
OMG!! I absolutely loved it. I have been on MANY NYC tours and this was completely different. It was interesting, fun, interactive and educational. I currently live in Brooklyn and love when I have opportunities to see other parts of the city. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend it to hip-hop lovers and people who just want an exciting/different experience in NYC. All of the landmarks were historical and the Graffiti Wall of Fame was amazing!! Grandmaster Caz was the guide and what a lucky woman I was to have a forefather of Hip-Hop giving me a tour and history lesson. He was VERY funny and honest. And now I can't stop seeing him on every show and documentary of hip hop....He is even my MySpace picture right now :)
Important tour - Highpoint of my first trip to NYC Walk This Way - Harlem Hip Hop Tour
Sun, Aug 20, 06 1:10 PM	ahall3	Female	30-39	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family Without Children
Hip Hop is a rich culture and social movement that has sprung from the streets of NY and exploded into a global phenomenon. Hip Hop is a positive movement that gave an identity and voice to those who previously had no voice in our culture. It's important to understand the history of Hip Hop and ALL the facets of Hip Hop, not just the commercial versions seen on TV or heard on the radio. Who better to learn from than one of the pioneering groups, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. Rahiem hosted our tour and he was amazing. I could have talked to him for hours. He has lived Hip Hop and seen it flower and change over the years. If you get Rahiem as your tour guide, LISTEN TO HIM, he has some really thought provoking ideas that I largely agreed with. He is a teacher who is willing to share more about the culture than just the sites on the tour. Take advantage of his time and learn as much as you can. As you walk through the streets of Harlem, use all your senses to take in the beauty and culture of this neighborhood. It's well worth the $25 ticket price...the best part of my 6 day trip.
Our Hushtour was the highlight of our NYC visit. Walk This Way - Harlem Hip Hop Tour
Thu, Aug 17, 06 1:10 PM	dumont140	Female	50-59	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family With Children
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 Walk This Way - Harlem Hip Hop Tour
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 Hip Hop Tour Led by Pioneers Harlem & The Bronx
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.
What an uplifting experience! Harlem Hip Hop Church Founded By Kurtis Blow
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 Walk This Way - Harlem Hip Hop Tour
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!!! Walk This Way - Harlem Hip Hop Tour
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.
Entertainer, Educator, and Cultural Icon Hip Hop Tour Led by Pioneers Harlem & The Bronx
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.

We loved it! Hip Hop Tour Led by Pioneers Harlem & The Bronx

My sister and I took our sons, ages 14 and 16. My son is the one who's interested in hip hop, but we all had a great time! Grand Master Cas was an awesome tour guide and had a lot of interesting stories and information about the sites. We got to see parts of New York that we otherwise wouldn't have been to. I would definitely recommend taking in this tour. Oh, and lunch was great, too!

DON'T MISS THIS ONE!!!!! Hip Hop Tour Led by Pioneers Harlem & The Bronx
Sat, May 27, 06 11:00 AM	Fonzies	Female	40-49	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family With Children
This is a TOP NOTCH tour! It was very organized, well planned and ON TIME!!!! We were fortunate to have Kurtis Blow and Reggie Reg. They are knowledgeable and passionate about Hip Hop Culture which made the tour truly worthwhile. Although my husband and I experienced the Hip Hop movement first hand, our 11 year old son did not. We feel that it's important for him to learn history and he did. We all enjoyed it!!! The lunch was great, the group was small and overall if you're a fan of Old School this tour is not to be missed!!!!!!!
GREAT TOUR Hip Hop Tour Led by Pioneers Harlem & The Bronx
Sat, May 6, 06 11:00 AM	Ngladney	Female	30-39	Domestic Tourist(s)	Couple on a Date
This was a wonderful tour. It is a must if you are planning a trip in the area. We had the benefit of having a smaller group - so the tour was very personal and we were able to really have a unique experience. The person that took us on tour was VERY knowledgeable and made sure we have an opportunity to really appreciate the culture and history of hiphop. The lunch buffet was outstanding and really made the experience significant. Don't hesitiate to take this tour, it is the real thing -- it will be one of the most memorable experiences in New York .
